Sichuan cuisine champion Fiona Gale transmigrates into a Cruel Mother-in-law in the 1980s. Facing Chloe Su, the daughter-in-law who was tortured to death in the original book, Fiona treats her as her own child and starts from a street stall selling Boboji Spicy Skewers. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law work together to manage accounts, dispel rumors, fight local bullies, expand their business to operate a canteen for ten thousand people, save enough capital to go south to Shenzhen, and carve out a space for women's entrepreneurship amid the wave of economic reform.
