The Charming Chef Became a Wicked Mother-in-Law and Fled the Famine from the Start

A talented heir to a prestigious ancient martial arts family somehow transmigrates to ancient times!

She's no princess or noble heiress. Her home has just been swept away by a flood, and she's a wicked mother-in-law forced to flee famine with her daughter-in-law and grandson!

Her sweet daughter-in-law depends on her completely, so Xu Yuehuai plans to head north and take her and her grandson to Chang'an, where they can live in luxury.

Her parasitic relatives think she's dreaming: "You want to go to Chang'an? Why not fly up to the heavens and become an immortal while you're at it?"

"If you've got what it takes, then don't follow me!" Xu Yuehuai has never been one to back down.

Her freeloading relatives depend on her for their meals, so all they can do is shut up and follow obediently.

As she travels north through the mountains, Xu Yuehuai gathers refugees and fights bandits, battling heaven and humanity alike... She never once considers turning back. She is also fortunate to receive help from a young man in white. She thinks their meeting will be a fleeting encounter, never imagining that fate will bind them so closely.

Xu Yuehuai only wants to open a restaurant in the capital and make a fortune, but she never expects to be drawn into a political power struggle. The young man in white turns out to be a prince with overwhelming power. In the capital, where undercurrents run deep, all she wants is to use her modest strength to provide shelter for the people she cares about.

Qi Guze was born into unimaginable wealth, yet has no desire for the throne or imperial power. He wishes only for peace across the land and tranquility for all, and hopes that his Yuehuai will get everything she wishes for, grow old by his side, and remain with him always.
