Good Fortune Has Arrived

Liang Xueji transmigrates into the body of a poor girl who has been thrown out of her home. Her mother has just died when her scheming, wicked grandmother kicks her out. Luckily, her maternal grandfather is still alive and takes her to Dongdu. But after spending a fortune on his daughter’s marriage and suffering from an old illness, all the grandfather has left is a dilapidated martial arts school. The neighbors pity the grandfather and granddaughter for their miserable lot, while the wicked grandmother mocks them, saying they’ll soon lose everything and be left with nothing. But Liang Xueji looks at the school’s kitchen, which is unusually large and well-stocked because it has to feed all the students… Liang Xueji, who died in the kitchen in her previous life, says: This is absolutely wonderful! A rundown place is nothing to fear! Neither is an old illness! Grandpa, I’ll set up a stall at the school gate and support you! Wei Qiao was a constable with the Patrol Office. After a major case came up, he and his partner were sent away to investigate for many years. He had his travel money stolen, lost his luggage, and tasted the worst food imaginable. At long last, they caught the criminal. But then he heard that his retired mentor had suffered a relapse of his old illness after being angered by his former in-law, and had brought home his frail, timid granddaughter. The two were living in hardship. Dust-covered from the road, Wei Qiao handed the criminal over to his superior and hurried straight to his mentor’s martial arts school. Instead, he found his mentor sitting at the school gate, looking rosy-cheeked as he ate noodles. A crowd of young boys sat or squatted behind him. When they saw Wei Qiao, they called out for him to come in and serve himself a meal. Amid the intoxicating aroma of the food, Wei Qiao blankly accepted a bowl of noodles from a bright-eyed girl and stuffed them into his mouth. “You said… *chew chew chew*… who was so awful… *chew chew chew*… to spread such a ridiculous rumor… *chew chew chew*… This is delicious!” Reading notes: 1. The setting is a fictionalized Song dynasty, with tons of original worldbuilding. Please don’t read if that bothers you. 2. The romance develops gradually, and both leads have character arcs. The male lead isn’t a prince, heir to a noble title, or imperial prince. Please don’t read if that’s not your thing. 3. I used this pen name for an old story before I deleted my account in 2024, but the content is completely different. This isn’t a reupload. It’s a brand-new story, so please feel free to read. Theme: You can’t let good food or life go unappreciated.
