Pastry chef Li Zhi died suddenly after working overtime. When she opened her eyes, she had become the least favored illegitimate daughter in the Li household.
Her mother, Su Wantang, had married into the Li family with her excellent cooking. After her mother left, her daughter became a punching bag for her legitimate stepmother, Madam Wang, and her elder half-sister, Li Wan.
Going hungry was routine, and she could never escape beatings and scoldings.
She had barely transmigrated when a basin of cold water jolted her awake. Facing two scolding faces, Li Zhi decisively played the coward and shrank into a corner: survive first, settle the score later.
