In her previous life, Lin Shu was swindled out of everything by a scumbag and died miserably in the street. When she opens her eyes again, it's 1990, and she's become the newlywed wife of Zhou Lin, the fearsome former soldier of local rumor.
Faced with an empty house and malicious gossip, Lin Shu rolls up her sleeves and binds herself to the Chinese Cuisine System. She starts her comeback with a bowl of spicy hotpot skewers outside a factory gate!
Her secret red chili oil bubbles, bringing the bustle of everyday life to every skewer. Those who once mocked her are soon won over by the fragrant, spicy flavors. Her sisters-in-law give her a hard time? One plate of heartbreak jelly noodles leaves them questioning their life choices! Her competitors try to suppress her? A serving of "boiled cabbage" dazzles everyone and shows them what a true master can do!
Her street stall becomes a shop, then a chain. The Sichuan Girl hotpot restaurant spreads across the country, and packaged soup bases sell around the world. Her taciturn husband gradually reveals the tender heart of a tough man, going from protecting her stall to helping her build a business empire.
When foreign conglomerates join forces with her old enemy from her previous life to launch a hostile takeover, Lin Shu stands at the forefront of her times and smiles calmly:
"Want to swallow my empire? First ask whether the stomachs of all China will agree!"
This is the story of a Sichuan woman who uses a handful of chili peppers and a spoonful of hot oil to set an era boiling and forge a culinary legend!
