She Opens a Food Stall and Restaurant, Shaking the Entire Capital

[Food + warmth + healing + everyday life + one-on-one romance]

[High-level food alert: food takes up a very large part of this story. Do not read if that's not for you!!!]

Food expert Jiang Mo transmigrates to the Great Yong dynasty and becomes the beauty the Jiang family sends to Shen Zhengze, the prefect of Jiangzhou.

The prefect is devoted to public service and has no interest in women. He abandons her in the back courtyard and ignores her completely.

Jiang Mo returns to her old trade and starts selling food. Her life grows ever more prosperous, and she meets many fine men.

Some are refined gentlemen, some are peerless martial artists, some hold high office, and some are fabulously wealthy.

Suitors flock to her door, and Jiang Mo becomes the most sought-after woman around.

But mindful of her identity and her connection to Prefect Shen, she can only turn down their advances.

She says frankly, "Though my husband has passed away, no one can take his place."

*

Shen Zhengze was born with an impaired sense of taste, so every delicacy is as bland as sawdust to him.

One day, as he passes through the market, the appetizing aroma of something delicious drifts his way.

After a moment's thought, he approaches a wonton stall. One bite fills his mouth with rich fragrance, and the flavor lingers endlessly.

The wontons are delicious, and their vendor is as beautiful as a flower, radiant and alluring.

When he first falls for her, Lord Shen sends a matchmaker to call on her, only to learn that she already has a husband, though he has passed away.

He can only let the matter go.

Even on the eve of his promotion and transfer, he still tosses and turns, unable to sleep.

Before he leaves, he receives a request from the last beauty in his back courtyard, asking to be released.

The beauty is willowy and delicate, bowing gracefully before him.

Then she raises her head---

Lord Shen: "?"

Jiang Mo: "???"
