The Path to a Noble Title for a Family-Born Servant

As a hereditary servant of the Dingbei Marquis's household, Jiang Shiyi slacked off and let things slide. She drew the salary of a first-class maid but didn't want to work, and spent every day waiting for her master's lavish tips.

A talented cook, Jiang Shiyi could fry, stir-fry, braise, and deep-fry with the best of them. Starting with a street stall, she opened a buffet, a dessert shop, a grand seafood restaurant, and a private dining house for women... She counted money until her hands ached, and the day she could lie flat as a wealthy woman in ancient times seemed just around the corner.

But just then, her master's family was exiled to the borderlands and made to serve as military households. To repay their kindness, she followed them there and opened a little eatery.

Who could have imagined that Jiang Shiyi, now the manager of the Qianweilou in Yanjing, had once hauled bricks on the Great Wall, farmed in the borderlands, and driven off the Tartars from the city tower...?

A first-rank titled lady, you say? I'll earn it myself!!!
