Synopsis
After transmigrating through time, Ding Baozhu became the daughter of a butcher. Not only was the original owner of this body extremely unruly and willful, but she was also about to be married off to her childhood betrothed—the son of a hunter who was rumored to be hideously ugly and possessed a temper that defied the heavens.
Ding Baozhu: Well, I guess my life is over.
As it turned out, on the wedding night, the hunter’s son fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. Life after marriage was also full of hardships. Furthermore, her mother-in-law disliked her and her sister-in-law was cold, treating her entirely as if she were invisible.
Ding Baozhu: Tsk, who cares? I’ll just start a small business, work hard to escape poverty, and move to the town to live a moderately prosperous life!
Thus, she set up a small gourmet food stall, starting with selling snacks, and gradually her reputation spread far and wide:
In spring, there was Fragrant Flower Steeped Water, Exquisite Botuo, and Peach Blossom Shaomai;
In summer, there were Sophora Leaf Cold Noodles, Summer Jellied Chicken, and Lotus Pastry;
In autumn, there were Lychee Kidneys, Perilla Shrimps, and Scallion-Drizzled Rabbit;
In winter, there was Oven-Roasted Chicken, Salted Duck, and Butter and White Sugar Milk…
From a single stall to eventually owning her own restaurant, her business flourished and her life went smoothly. Meanwhile, the hunter husband—who used to run to the mountains and fields every day and was a man of few words—had now finally found his voice. Every few days, he would show his attentiveness, and the number of times he appeared before her to gain favor increased more and more.
Ding Baozhu felt that this “bargain” husband was not at all like the rumors; he was clearly a gentle and handsome big black cat!
Forced by his parents’ orders, Xu Ye had no choice but to marry the eldest daughter of the Ding family.
He originally thought it was a matter where neither side was willing,
but he never expected there would be crispy braised meat, golden chicken, lion’s head meatballs, matcha red bean cold cakes… his wife’s culinary skills were truly incredible.
Every day, he struggled between “I can endure this” and “She is my wife, why should I endure?”
Until his wife proposed a divorce.
Xu Ye: ?
Divorce? What divorce? I’m illiterate! I’ll just pack my wife up and carry her away!
