After her mother’s passing, Zhao Xiaojing lived timidly under the shadow of her domineering third aunt. Bound by overwhelming family ties, she ended up getting married twice. She endured being a full-time family maid and domestic violence, until one day, driven to confusion by three ungrateful children, she was hit by a car and died.

Upon rebirth, Zhao Xiaojing wakes up completely enlightened, deciding that no matter how hard or challenging life gets, she must rely on herself. At this moment, a gourmet system descends upon her.

Starting with a market stall, Zhao Xiaojing slowly builds her confidence and finds healing through food. Gradually, she becomes independent, learns to refuse her overbearing relatives, makes her own decisions, and cherishes friends she had lost in her past life for daring to speak their minds.

Slowly she discovers that her once stern third aunt is aging, her parrot-like cousin harbors deep fears, and her seemingly calm friend hides an explosive passion within…

From running a market stall, she repays borrowed money step by step, opens her own little shop, gains more close friends and a loving partner, and gradually walks towards a brilliant future.

Turns out, her world doesn’t have to follow the same old path.

Why the translations stopped tho😭

No romance FMC ✅

Independent and striving for oneself with no sickeningly sweet plot device divine male lead ✅

... more>> Food and cooking ✅

System is just a support not cheat-like and not like every food she cooked become heavenly overnight. Also she doesn't train months or years in system. Logically she has a little advantage over others by 3-4hrs per day to train.

No heavy drama ✅

Family situations are relatable but not the focus of it ✅ yet heartwarming because there can be other relationships outside of family and romantic relationships and it shows we should build them up too not just codependent relationship with families and romantic partners.

Please continue translating it.

I'm sick of female protagonist novels with a romantic partner where the plot is revolves around other jealous side characters wracking havocs in main character's life and the focus becomes toxic drama where getting some divine male lead attention is the wish every woman wants for god's sake.

No please I want female protagonists who strives for oneself and The focus should be it!!! And they shouldn't be called selfish for it when every male MC novels have morally questionable main characters who get what they want by doing whatever they shouldn't do and be called MC with depths lol <<less

I see this has many chapters translated, low rating, and even a lousy summary. But I wanted to give it a go since I like food novels, or ones about talented MC's that dazzle people with their talent and they are amazed they never saw-tasted- something like that before, you know?

After reading the summary I hung up on this twice, because I thought it would be endless face slapping, or malfunctional family dynamics. You know the type that spends 7000 chapters trying to escape the elders of the family, or... more>> replaying the past ab*se and finally getting out after draining the reader completely.

But when I started this it wasn't anything like that at all. It got to the point at the first chapter, she was reborn, remembered her past life, and then she got the food system.

The system just lets her train countless times in virtual space, and then come out like a master, it also distributes recipe rewards and the likes.

What is good about this novel is the people's reactions when they try her food, the delight, the addiction, the desire to come back for more. You feel her growing by each chapter.

As for the family dysfunction, it's there but the family is not abusive, her aunt loves her but she is old fashioned and strict in her ways, little by little the MC is proving to her that she is capable of success and standing on her own two feet. + She lives alone anyway so yaaay.

Overall, give it a go, it's a feel good novel. Train, cook, meet old friends and have them impressed, and make everyone impressed (this formula).

I deeply apologize for anyone who has read my choppy review because I know I suck at this, and I hope future readers can leave good review for the translator because the translation is really excellent and they have translated 80 chapters already with no reviews and even a low rank!. Give this some love pleease. <<less
