Shen Miao transmigrated into the role of a divorced wife cast out by her cruel mother-in-law.

The original owner’s parents had passed away early, leaving behind only a burnt-down, bankrupt noodle shop.

And two younger siblings on the verge of starvation.

Everyone pitied her wretched fate.

Her ex-husband’s family eagerly awaited her downfall.

But Shen Miao, whose last three generations were all chefs: …What a coincidence—this is right up my alley.

Setting up a street stall, renovating the courtyard, and reviving the noodle shop—soon, Bianjing not only had the famed Fan Tower but also the rising star: Shen’s Grand Restaurant!

Xie Qi was an unlucky man with a fate so tough he couldn’t even die properly.

Sent on an official assignment, he was first robbed by bandits, then swindled, left penniless and forced to seek refuge at his aunt’s house—only to discover his long-separated fiancée cousin was already pregnant.

Exhausted in body and mind, he returned to Bianjing, unable to savor food for days—until he stumbled upon a humble street stall on Jinliang Bridge.

He bought a grilled mantou. One bite, and his worries melted away.

“So delicious.”

—Turns out, all the luck I’ve ever had in life was just to meet you.
