Flour, Sugar, and Second Chances

ukiduki
Han So-young died with regrets. After being exiled from the prestigious Han Food empire, she spent her last years drowning in debt and loneliness—until her death saving a child's life. But fate offers her a second chance when she awakens as her five-year-old self, back in the family kitchen where her father still lives and the scent of her mother's red bean buns lingers in the air. This time, So-young vows to protect her family, reclaim her legacy, and uncover the truth behind her parents' deaths—with the help of a mischievous kitchen spirit named Jeong, who has been silently guiding her all along. But changing the past isn't as simple as she thought. Her grandfather, the ruthless patriarch of Han Food, still believes women have no place in the family business. Her uncle, desperate to inherit the empire, is already plotting against her father. And the rival Moon & Son conglomerate lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike. Armed with memories of the future and her mother’s lost recipes, So-young must navigate the cutthroat world of Joseon-era baking, where every loaf of bread could be a step toward salvation—or ruin. Can she rewrite destiny, or will history repeat itself?

The Next General

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.
