Everyone knows Zhou Tianqi is a legend at the Federation's Second Military Academy.

They say she defeated the commander known as the Federation's greatest, and made them fall for her.

But the Empire scoffs, saying it's all hype, using a pure human as a gimmick.

That is, until the Federation and the Empire hold a joint military exercise. The Empire mocks the Federation for sending a weak pure human.

Zhou Tianqi: “Sure, sure. You're absolutely right.”

She fires back with a medicine shot hastily made from angelica and ginger. The fire attribute of the fire-type beast power surges, and the target collapses, helpless to resist.

The Empire: “You must have used banned drugs. That's cheating!”

Zhou Tianqi: “Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Bye now!”

She promptly forces a potion with an opposing attribute down his throat. The tall, muscular man can't fight back and drops to the ground in an instant.

The Empire: “Those cunning Federation people, pretending to be weak!”

The Federation: “Since when did we have such an impressive pure human?”

Federation commander: … (feeling guilty)

Zhou Tianqi transmigrates into a pure human on the brink of extinction in the interstellar era, and takes a job teaching nutrition at the Federation's Second Military Academy.

The medicinal cuisine traditions of Huaxia have been lost to history in this world, leaving only a somewhat related field called nutrition.

She doesn't know nutrition, so she'll revamp it into medicinal cuisine.

The Federation's people don't trust tiny, weak pure humans. One after another, they sneer:

“What kind of garbage is medicinal cuisine? I've never even heard of it! Pure humans really are ridiculously naive.”

Who could have guessed…

The beloved daughter of the Peacock Fish family is often listless and has no appetite. The clan leader consults every famous doctor, but nothing helps. Zhou Tianqi often makes her carp soup with poria and atractylodes to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, and within days she's lively and full of energy.

The only surviving phoenix bloodline from ancient Earth reverts to its ancestral form as a fire phoenix. Lily and lotus-seed porridge, which clears the mind and reduces internal heat, gets it through the most difficult stage of transformation. It calms down, and even reconciles with its mother.

The most powerful and domineering metal-type ability user begs Zhou Tianqi to save his younger brother. He even turns into a white tiger and acts cute, all so she'll step in. A serving of old duck soup with glehnia and polygonatum is enough to nurse his brother back to health.

Lily and lotus-seed porridge, Four Spirits soup, bupleurum and soothing-liver porridge… More and more medicinal dishes for regulating the energies of the Five Elements appear, and interstellar genetic diseases once said to be incurable are cured just like that.

Zhou Tianqi says, “Nice try. Turns out all you needed was to learn how to take care of yourselves.”

As one outstanding member after another from the great families is cured, the mastermind plotting behind the scenes is left dumbfounded.

“How the hell are we supposed to play this now?”

Reader's guide:

1. There's a little bit of a everyone-loves-her vibe, but the heroine is independent throughout the main story. The romance in the extras has an open ending.

2. She's not a conventional strong female lead, but she is absolutely the one on top.

3. These are my own settings, in a fictional futuristic interstellar world.

4. The professional knowledge about medicinal cuisine comes from the internet or my own exaggerated inventions. Please don't scrutinize it. Also, the heroine is treating nonhumans, so please don't apply it to real life or treat medicinal cuisine as actual medicine.

5. Everyone has different tastes. If this isn't your thing, please be kind.

"Beloved by All in the 1990s"

After Wang Yawen works herself to death from staying up all night, she is reborn in 1996.

Looking at the home with bare walls and a bed put together from scraps of wood, with an old radio as its most valuable possession, she feels as though the sky is falling.

Hearing her parents discuss making her repeat first grade, Wang Yawen leaps up. “Mom, Dad, wait!”

In her previous life, she never got what she wanted, not even before she died. It's exhausting to push herself so hard, so this time she turns her attention to the people around her.

“Wow, the TV really works! Dad, you're amazing!”

After her father fixes a TV bought from a recycling depot, Wang Yawen immediately showers him with excited praise.

Her father had been torn between heading far away to sell fruit and going to a factory to learn repairs. He chooses the latter.

Later, he starts with a tiny repair shop and gradually becomes a contractor working with major appliance companies, eventually growing into a titan of the repair industry.

“Wow, the bracelet you made is so pretty, Mom!”

When she receives a handmade gift from her mother, Wang Yawen's eyes light up as she offers loving encouragement.

Her mother has been pondering ways to bring in extra income for the family. Now she makes up her mind, buys a batch of accessories and cord, and soon her creations are all the rage at the night market.

She starts with a tiny stall, gradually buys a storefront, and opens branches across the country, making a fortune.

…

Wang Yawen, who in her previous life had to take the civil service exam just to survive and died from overwork, rediscovers the passion she lost in this life. She becomes a freelance illustrator who travels across the country's beautiful landscapes, working as both a travel blogger and an art blogger. Through her drawings, she showcases the world and lives a comfortable life with plenty of money.

Wang Yawen meets her future best friend before she gets pregnant out of wedlock, a neighbor whose family is about to fall apart, a frail classmate abused by a stepmother, and a somewhat vain but good-hearted schemer… Unable to stand by and do nothing, she steps in and changes their lives. They gradually gather around her, and when she finally realizes it, the introverted, insecure nobody she was in her past life has become the beloved center of a huge circle of friends.
