[A money-loving woman with a sweet face and a mature heart x A smiling scholar who seems tsundere but is actually a scheming green tea]
Food blogger Jiang Hanyue transmigrates and discovers she's become a notorious pauper!
Her home is bare and she barely has enough to eat. On top of that, she's expected to support her sickly, handsome live-in husband and her little brother, who's as skinny as a bean sprout. Her shameless relatives have come to collect debts and even threaten to sell Jiang Hanyue to a brothel.
Jiang Hanyue (shocked): "QAQ Can I even survive this?"
But when she sees her husband's sickly yet truly beautiful face, Jiang Hanyue tearfully (and happily) binds herself to the Restaurant System, rolls up her sleeves, and gets to work. With ingredients provided by the System, she carves out a place for herself in the capital's food scene!
Sweet-and-sour plum drink, piping-hot, fragrant, and spicy cold noodles with chili oil.
Fresh, savory, sweet, and spicy tomato fish, and pork rib rice glazed with sauce and served for eating with your hands.
Tender, juicy pan-fried steak, golden, crispy fried chicken strips.
And fried chicken sprinkled with sour plum powder, half-and-half durian pizza, Oreo bubble milk tea...
What?!
You mean you still haven't tried the food at the Jiang Family Restaurant? Then, young man, you're in for a treat!
Customers stream into the Jiang Family Restaurant, and the line at the entrance stretches all the way to the other side of East Street.
Who in the capital doesn't give it a thumbs-up and praise the Jiang Family Restaurant as an extraordinary place? Its owner, Madam Jiang, is a genius chef blessed by heaven. Not only is her skill superb, she's also beautiful and radiant.
Even the wife of the Duke of the State, the victorious General Ding, and the Son of Heaven himself, high above all others, are scrambling to become honored members of the Jiang Family Restaurant!
Later, the Jiang Family Restaurant opens franchise locations across the country. Jiang Hanyue grows rich and famous, and matchmakers come knocking until they wear out her doorstep. Everyone urges her to divorce her husband and marry a healthy young nobleman instead.
Her supposedly sickly but truly scheming live-in husband, who is actually the emperor's son, declares: "Don't even think about it! My wife and I are made for each other. I won't let you 'monsters and ghosts' meddle in our affairs!"
