A cool, badass ancient magistrate x a warmhearted modern third-generation rich heir
Plague runs rampant, and people resort to eating their own children.
Yan Qingwan's battered vegetable basket eats tribute offerings and brings her ingredients in return.
She believes her mother's spirit must have appeared to help her.
But inside the basket is an exceptionally beautiful man.
He grants her every request: food, medicine, seeds, lessons in beauty and makeup, even food delivery...
The battered vegetable basket Gu Jingsheng bought for a hundred million became a huge joke in the antiques business. Who would have thought this basket was also a hungry ghost, eating anything she was given and making demands, too?
Quick, go get a master...
Before long, the hungry ghost is beautiful and filial, can help appraise treasures, and even sends him rare antiques. She's won my heart.
Need medicine? I'll give it to her.
Need food? I'll give it to her.
Want to open a restaurant? I'll give her all eight great cuisines.
Want to open an embroidery shop? I'll give her Xiang embroidery, Shu embroidery, and gold-thread embroidery.
Want to solve cases? I'll give her Anatomy and The Washing Away of Wrongs.
She runs into a scheming woman? I'll give her The Ultimate Guide to Spotting Fake Sweethearts.
She wants to go to war? I'll give her bulletproof vests, AKs, and mortars.
In short, as long as she's happy.
Until the hungry ghost says, "You're pretty handsome. Be my husband, okay?"
He replies, "That's exactly what I was hoping for."
