[Rebirth, romance, getting rich by selling boxed meals, funny heroine x picky-mouthed, sharp-tongued hero]
For Gu Qingbei, a wage slave with no chance of getting ahead, her greatest dream is to become a head chef. Who could have guessed that she'd work herself to death from overtime before ever making it?
Luckily, fate gives her another chance. Gu Qingbei is reborn in the body of someone with the same name but a completely different face. From the start, she's an orphan, and after paying off her student loan, she's saddled with loan-shark debt. Aside from her phone, she seems to own nothing of value.
She curses the heavens for giving her such a rough start, nearly gets struck by lightning, and decides to behave. These problems are nothing she can't handle. She'll just go back to her old line of work!
Then a middle-aged production assistant tries her boxed meal and is blown away. Does that mean she's made connections in the entertainment industry?!
Ji Chenzhou: He's your connection in the entertainment industry? Then what am I?!
Gu Qingbei: (Patting the shoulder of the guy about to lose it) Oh, come on, we're all buddies here. Don't be so touchy, handsome!
Ji Chenzhou can't take it anymore. He pins her against the wall and kisses her fiercely, asking after every kiss, “What am I?”
Gu Qingbei, still clueless, struggles and shouts, “Pervert! You're a huge pervert!” Then she aims a vicious kick at his family jewels!
Ji Chenzhou: What the hell! You're trying to murder your own husband!
Gu Qingbei: ...
Ji Chenzhou finally reaches his limit. He drags the clueless Gu Qingbei to the registry office to get their marriage certificate, and on their very first day as newlyweds, leaves her unable to get out of bed.
Holding her aching back, Gu Qingbei curses the man who's had his fill.
