Su Wanqing thought her life ended with exhaustion and regret. But when she wakes up in a parallel world, she discovers her hard-earned one billion yuan savings have followed her—only here, everything costs ten-thousand times less. An entire luxury apartment? ¥3,000. A villa by the sea? ¥10,000. A skyscraper? ¥300,000. Her billion makes her the wealthiest woman alive. But Su Wanqing isn’t interested in flaunting her fortune. She uses it to shield her loving parents, support her younger brother, and quietly build an empire. When she crosses paths with Gu Yichen, a sharp, domineering yet principled CEO, their rivalry turns into alliance, and then into something deeper. Marriage, power, jealous relatives, and eventually the laughter of twin children fill her new life. She isn’t just backed by billions—she’s building a legacy of love, family, and empire. A story of wealth, romance, and a warm home.

At thirty-two, Shen Yichen had everything people envied—a prestigious position as an executive chef, a generous salary, and recognition from the culinary world. Yet every day felt emptier than the last. After walking away from the luxury restaurant that consumed his youth, he rents a tiny twelve-seat eatery hidden in Lotus Lane, an old street where time seems to slow down. There are no extravagant dishes, no celebrity guests, and no dreams of Michelin stars. There is only one promise. Every morning, he buys the freshest ingredients. Every day, he serves a single homemade menu. And when the last bowl is sold, the restaurant closes. As the seasons change, Today's Table quietly becomes the heart of the neighborhood. A retired engineer who always arrives ten minutes early, an exhausted nurse coming off night shifts, a talkative taxi driver, a shy university student, a little girl who fills the walls with drawings, and a florist whose gentle smile slowly becomes part of his daily routine—all find warmth within its wooden doors. Some come hungry. Some come lonely. Some come carrying burdens too heavy to share. But everyone leaves with a full stomach... and a lighter heart. This is not a story about becoming the greatest chef in country. It is a story about ordinary people, simple meals, changing seasons, quiet love, lifelong friendships, and the little restaurant that reminds everyone that no matter how difficult today has been, there will always be a warm seat waiting tomorrow. "One bowl of soup. One familiar smile. One ordinary day at a time."
