When Wen Yi wakes up, she has transmigrated into a tragic historical romance novel, becoming a low-ranking daughter destined for a miserable end. She is ready to tread carefully, avoid trouble, and survive the dangerous household schemes. But she never expected to stumble on such a huge surprise: her marquis father, the principal wife, and her legitimate older brother are all modern people who transmigrated here too!
Her father is a private-kitchen chef, her stepmother specializes in desserts and baking, and her brother once sold marinated snacks at a street stall.
The family tosses out the original story's bloody household-intrigue plot. With everyone a talented cook, they take turns stuffing Wen Yi with food.
Braised beef brisket, marinated chicken feet, osmanthus milk pudding, and boneless spicy chicken: dishes she once never even dared dream of come steaming out of the marquis estate's kitchen one after another.
Second Concubine and Wen Yao, her half-sister, are always looking for ways to make things difficult for her. They scheme to embarrass her at poetry gatherings and family banquets. But Wen Yi has no interest in competing with them. While everyone else fights for the spotlight, she focuses on eating, easily getting out of trouble every time.
Xie Yanci, the icy young heir who was born without a sense of taste, is lured in by the steady stream of delicious aromas from the marquis estate. He comes by every day just to smell the food at Wen Yi's home.
There's no need to walk on eggshells or scheme against anyone. While others transmigrate just to survive, she transmigrates to enjoy life. Her family takes turns feeding her, and eating is her top priority. Together, they dodge their deadly ending and make a life full of flavor in the ancient world.
