Blurb:

[Capable little fox, a gentle confidante x carefree big fox, who says one thing and means another and resists being tamed]

[Short version]

A modern baker transmigrates to ancient times and uses her spring-water space golden finger to achieve the following:

√ Creates recipes for Chinese-medicine pastries and medicinal cuisine for health

√ Starts from zero assets and rises to A11

√ Saves her wet nurse and countless people, and cures countless poisons

√ Wins herself a loyal husband

[Full version]

Perspective 1:

A modern baking entrepreneur transmigrates while making a delivery, arriving in the Tianyou dynasty as Xie Qingdai, the Xie family's adopted daughter.

Click to see how Qingdai escapes her cage, enters the marketplace, and builds a chain of shops from nothing

Rose and poria cakes, Five Elements cakes, delicate pearl cakes, Roselle Rouge rolls

Four Gentlemen sleep cakes, Seven Whites beauty-preserving cakes, saposhnikovia cough-relief crisps, donkey-hide gelatin peony cakes

Purple yam and konjac balls, kudzu hunger-quelling cakes, lotus-leaf slimming buns, hawthorn waist-slimming rolls...

At first, she has just a few friends. Their tiny sparks join together and grow into a prairie fire.

If no one will help her soar to the clouds, she'll shine like a star across Tianyou all on her own!

*

Xie Qingdai spent a long time planning and finally secured a way out.

But she ran into danger while fleeing.

A swordsman appeared from the sky. The wine scent from his sword tassel was unforgettable.

He saved Qingdai from the edge of a blade.

A breeze sprang up. Qingdai lifted her veil with slender fingers and offered him a rose and poria cake as thanks.

At their first, fleeting glance, the swordsman was handsome and graceful, with sword-shaped brows and bright eyes, as radiant and unblemished as the moon. He was without equal in the world.

When they met again, his brows were furrowed, and he was dressed in rags like a beggar.

Yet his eyes shone like stars, and his air was so noble. How could a beggar from a poor household ever carry himself like that?

From then on, Qingdai could never forget the swordsman's raven-blue figure.

His glances were elusive and serene, with unfathomable meaning behind them...

Perspective 2:

Qin Danggui, the Marquis's legitimate son, is deeply in love.

He once laid his heart bare:

"I admire your cleverness and ingenuity, and esteem your courage. I cherish your proud spirit and am captivated by your smile.

I would gladly give up my status and scheme a hundred ways to be with you. I would defy the emperor's decree and face death a thousand times without regret."

When Qingdai shyly accepted, Qin Danggui clapped his hands with delight. Success!

And so began the beautiful tale of one who braved the currents of the court and won the heart of a clever woman who knew the healing art of poria.

Reader's guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending. The romance develops slowly, and the female lead's business ventures take center stage.

The male lead appears mostly around chapters 10-30, then again after chapter 80.

The female lead has courage enough for two; the male lead plans everything with perfect composure.

2. The novel is steeped in Chinese medicine culture, and all the characters are named after Chinese medicinal ingredients. I've chosen every word with care, but there may still be mistakes, so please bear with me.

The business storyline includes lots of pastry recipes, medicinal formulas, and pharmacology. It is all fictional.

The author isn't a practitioner of Chinese medicine; everything in the story is made up.

Please don't try any of it yourself. It's just for fun.

3. The setting is a fictional Song dynasty, culturally spanning the Northern and Southern Song periods. Food customs and ingredients are based on the Song dynasty, but there are many original details.

The business storyline, including opening shops, making medicinal cuisine, and management ideas, draws somewhat on modern management experience.

The effects of the medicinal cuisine are exaggerated for storytelling. Please keep that in mind.

A Chinese medicinal ingredient does not necessarily have any of the miraculous effects suggested by its name.

4. Whether in ancient times or the modern day, having living people test medicines or poisons is not recommended. Please don't apply the story to real life.

The author deeply despises the actions of the Xie family and the corrupt emperor in this novel.

5. The story is female-centered, and the female lead may put on a show for the sake of her career.

For example, she may say pretty words, quote elegant poetry, or put on the polished persona of a refined ancient lady.

Skip these parts if you don't like them. They don't affect the main plot.

6. The dynasty is very loosely fictional. Please don't associate the emperor in the novel with any Song emperor. Thank you.

Also, the cover is a template commissioned from an artist, and the character cards use free-to-use assets from Xiaohongshu.
