Daily Life at the Teahouse in an Ancient World

In a world torn by chaos, a modern-day food blogger unexpectedly finds herself transported into the past. By a twist of fate, she ends up in a remote mountain village, only to become the fiancée of a penniless barbarian named Shen Qing.

Everyone urges her to marry someone else, but Xiao Wanling doesn’t even spare them a glance.

Poor?

She’s got two hands, two feet, and the whole mountain behind her. This is practically her field of expertise!

So, she opens a teahouse to earn some cash—and while she’s at it, she treats the villagers to a series of mouthwatering culinary shocks.

From “immortal tofu” and “white jade tofu” that sparks a fiery debate over sweet vs. savory, To “herbal jelly with fruit, sour plum soup, and ice powder soup” that are not only tasty but also help soothe coughs and fill bellies.

She even made popcorn out of wild grasses, completely winning over the hearts (and stomachs) of the local children!

Her humble bamboo stall grows into a wooden hut and then into a trio of blue-brick teahouses—the Xiao Family Teahouse quickly becomes famous across the surrounding ten villages.

Just as she’s riding high, her so-called estranged parents, who once looked down on her, come crawling back, playing the long-lost family card.

Get lost! All of you!
No one’s going to block her path to success!

Shen Qing (pitiful puppy eyes), “Wife, they’re bad—I’m good! Anyone who tries to steal you from me gets kicked out!”
