On the Road Fleeing Famine, My Villainous Husband and I Thrive Through Food

Su Xiaotang, an ordinary office drone, transmigrates into a sweet romance novel as a cannon-fodder supporting female character who dies horribly right from the start. When she arrives, her husband, Shen Que, is in the middle of “committing a murder” with a knife. In the original story, he is a hidden, unhinged villain: sickly, ruthless, and vicious. As they flee famine, Su Xiaotang only wants to protect herself, so she puts her modern knowledge and portable space to use, farming and stockpiling food along the way. But she discovers that Shen Que always manages to find water and avoid bandits, and that he’s sweet-talking, handsome, and fiercely protective of her. Later, she builds a fortune with her cooking, while he makes a comeback through the imperial examinations. When she starts planning to divorce him, Shen Que, now a powerful official, pins her against the wall. His gaze is tender but disturbingly intense. “Wife, your space is mine, and so are you.”
