The Fake Heiress of 1994 Supports Her Family with Her Culinary Skills

When Lin Wan wakes up, she finds herself in 1994, the fake heiress who has just been thrown out by a wealthy family.

She doesn't cry, make a scene, or beg anyone. First she drinks some cold boiled water to calm her nerves, divides her money among three pockets, then drags her suitcase to the market where her birth mother sells braised food.

She remembers every bit of the New Year's money she received over eighteen years. She said she'd come back to collect that debt, and now she's here.

In an era when money is scarce, opportunities are everywhere. She turns a braised-food stall into a wildly popular spot with lines out the door, packages its recipes into a brand, and builds a nationwide franchise. In business, she laughs at people for having "such a small vision," then turns around and crushes the ones who try to sabotage her, steal her trademark, or smash up her shop.

Then she uncovers the old secret behind the babies switched at birth. The wealthy Shen family, the provincial capital's chamber of commerce, and powerful figures are all entangled in the affair, while her birth mother's past has only just begun to emerge.

She's clever and never lets herself be wronged. Make money, uncover the truth, and maybe find a dependable romance along the way.
