Transmigrated as a Little Chef: My Refrigerator Can Refresh Infinitely

Lin Yue, a modern food content creator, transmigrates into the body of a young widow in the Dayong Dynasty. She awakens in a dilapidated mud hut during a storm, facing immediate assault by a village loafer known as Yellow Teeth. Using a piece of firewood, she kills him in self-defense, but the act leaves her and her two young siblings, Gou Dan and Da Ya, in grave danger. The victim belongs to a powerful family of rogues in Huangshi Village, and Lin Yue realizes that staying means certain death or enslavement. With the help of a mysterious system, she discovers that her modern refrigerator has followed her to this era. The fridge contains a vast supply of food, including meat buns, premium meats, and condiments, which refresh periodically. This supernatural resource becomes her primary tool for survival and future prosperity.

Lin Yue decides to flee with the children before dawn. She hides Yellow Teeth’s body in the flooding river to avoid immediate detection. During their escape, a mudslide destroys Huangshi Village, killing the villagers who might have sought revenge. The group travels on foot to Zi Mountain Village, where they rest at the home of Aunt Qu, a kind neighbor who provides them with food and shelter. Lin Yue uses the meat buns from her fridge to feed the starving children, restoring their health and strength. She also unlocks a box of eggs from the fridge by spending copper coins, establishing a sustainable source of income. The system’s mechanics become clearer: items can be unlocked using currency or valuable objects, and the fridge space can store and preserve items indefinitely.

Upon arriving in Mayang Village, Lin Yue seeks out her husband’s relatives, the Guo family. The family has already divided the inheritance, leaving the children with nothing. The uncles are greedy and hostile, attempting to dismiss Lin Yue and the orphans. Lin Yue confronts them, demanding the hunting hut built by her late father-in-law and a share of the land. Through sharp rhetoric and the threat of involving the clan elders, she forces the family to concede. She secures the isolated hunting hut, which provides the privacy she needs to use her fridge without suspicion. The uncles’ wife later attempts to steal from the hut but is driven away by Lin Yue’s assertive defense.

Settled in the hunting hut, Lin Yue focuses on establishing a livelihood. She buys a hen to explain the source of her eggs, which she sells at the local market. She also teaches Gou Dan and Da Ya how to fish in the nearby river, ensuring they have a steady source of protein. The children, once traumatized and malnourished, begin to recover physically and emotionally under her care. Lin Yue’s modern knowledge and the endless supply of food from her fridge set her apart from the impoverished villagers. She plans to build a better life for herself and the children, using the profits from selling eggs and fish to buy seeds and improve their living conditions. The story follows her efforts to navigate the harsh social dynamics of the ancient village while leveraging her supernatural advantage to secure a future free from want.
