Synopsis
Yu Miaomiao, a spoiled and useless rich heiress born into a wealthy family, is struck unconscious by an ancestral tablet after showing disrespect during a family ancestor ceremony. When she wakes up, she finds herself transported back in time—into the body of her own great-grandmother, Yu Miaomiao, the legendary family founder glorified in the clan genealogy.
Before her stand her young grandfather and her great-grandmother’s abusive husband. Witnessing the suffering and humiliation her ancestor once endured at the hands of her husband’s family, Yu Miaomiao decides to take over her great-grandmother’s life and change their fate.
She takes her young grandfather back to her maternal family, only to find them trapped in poverty. Determined to rebuild the family fortune exactly as recorded in the family history, she follows the “instructions” left by the genealogy: starting with spicy-and-sour noodles before boldly introducing forbidden delicacies of the era—such as crayfish, once feared as “poisonous bugs.” Step by step, she creates signature dishes and turns humble street food into a booming business empire.
From roadside stalls to grand restaurants, Yu Miaomiao overcomes obstacle after obstacle, building a thriving culinary empire that sweeps across the city and lays the foundation for her family’s future wealth. By taking care of her ancestors and changing the past, she ultimately secures the prosperous legacy she once took for granted.
In the end, Yu Miaomiao returns to the modern world, while the real Yu Miaomiao resolves to protect everything they built. Having learned the value of family and responsibility, the modern-day Yu Miaomiao turns over a new leaf, determined not only to preserve the family fortune, but also to embrace the love destiny has prepared for her.
