Snow Phoenix

In this world, there are people who, despite having both talent and luck, always fall a step short of happiness, and Lin Xiaoguai, unfortunately yet fortunately, is among them.
Born in the sixties as the beloved youngest daughter in her family, Lin Xiaoguai was both beautiful and intelligent. However, she was burdened with four mediocre and weak older brothers and four formidable sisters-in-law. Her family background was initially poor, dimming her prospects, but just at the right age, she encountered the restoration of the college entrance examination and succeeded in entering university. Her father, overjoyed by the occasion, went to sleep never to wake again, leaving Lin Xiaoguai devastated and ill. During her high fever and delirium, her greedy in-laws married her off. Fortunately, she met a decent man, but his family proved to be a relentless headache, ultimately costing her the ability to become a mother.
Disheartened, she divorced and moved far away. On her own, she carved out a new world in the city, living comfortably and leisurely with money and leisure, but unexpectedly, in her later years, she suddenly acquired a powerful ability that should have appeared decades earlier. Thankfully, her broad-mindedness prevented her from succumbing to depression.
When calamity struck, she thought her end had come but woke to find herself back at the beginning.
Considering her past, Lin Xiaoguai realized that if she wasted this second chance, she would truly be foolish.

My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn

Jiang Xiaomei was not truly clueless in the kitchen, she could manage simple tasks like steaming rice or frying a basic dish, but that was about the extent of her culinary skills. Anything more complex, like braised pork or steamed fish, was beyond her.


"Uh... it should be fine, I guess. My parents can both cook, and they're both retired, so they have plenty of time," Yi Feng reasoned after some thought.


The others weren't as optimistic, especially Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. In their eyes, no matter how easy-going a mother-in-law might be, it was not acceptable for a daughter-in-law to take being looked after for granted.


"In that case, starting from tomorrow, Xiaomei, you will begin learning to cook with me in the kitchen," Mr. Jiang decided with finality.


It was their oversight, too. Because they both knew how to cook and Xiaomei was competent in other areas, they had neglected this particular aspect. Thankfully, there was still time to rectify the situation.
