[Food + System + satisfying revenge + building a career + punishing scumbags]
Lin Qiuhe transmigrates into a melodrama novel as the substitute heroine, destined to have her liver and kidneys removed and her blood replaced. The System wants her to follow the plot.
The domineering CEO Gu Tinghan tosses me a check in front of everyone and says coldly, "She's back. You can get lost."
What a joke. Does he really think I'm some helpless pushover?
I'm done being the heroine in this misery novel!
Lin Qiuhe swallows her tears, then sells every luxury item he ever gave her.
She trades a diamond necklace for a tricycle and a Hermes bag for a barbecue stall, setting up a street-food stand in the night market called "Beat the Scumbags."
At first, diners complain that street food is unhygienic. But soon, Lin Qiuhe's stall becomes the setting for scenes straight out of a surreal comedy every day:
A Michelin chef gets caught red-handed trying to copy my recipes.
A financial tycoon gets into a fistfight over the last pancake.
Scalpers resell Lin Qiuhe's oden for a hundred thousand yuan.
Even the president of the United States begs Qiuhe to open a branch in America.
Lin Qiuhe looks at the countless zeros in her bank account. "System, who was it you wanted me to grovel to again?"

To avoid the male lead's pursuit, Lin Qiuhe has to move her stall every few days. The diners wail about it.
When Gu Tinghan sees the sign on Lin Qiuhe's stall that reads "No purchases for the CEO of Gu Group or dogs," he completely loses it.
"Qiuhe, I know I was wrong…"
Lin Qiuhe slaps him across the face. "Apologize to me? Sorry, you're not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"
The diners watch the drama unfold:
"We'll help you beat up that scumbag. Can you give us a little extra food today?"
