   The protagonist, Bai Tao, is an optimistic, cheerful, and thick-skinned cook who encounters numerous mishaps upon arriving in the countryside, with his meeting with Pei Zheng being both awkward and hilarious. From the "groping" incident at the hot springs to Bai Tao later establishing himself in the countryside through his culinary skills, their interactions are full of charm and humor. Pei Zheng, seemingly cold and aloof, is actually gentle at heart. Faced with Bai Tao's enthusiasm and "shamelessness," his feelings transition naturally and smoothly from helplessness to attraction. There are no power struggles or intrigues, only rural labor, home-cooked meals, and sweet romance.

    Yang Qing's life was filled with misery. Her husband, Old Man Li, was a violent and abusive man who frequently beat and verbally abused her; her children were cold-blooded and selfish, ignoring her completely; and her most beloved youngest son had lost his life on the battlefield. In despair, she ended her life with a rope. After death, her soul drifted to the underworld, where she unexpectedly encountered an orphan girl with the same name. By a twist of fate, the girl was reborn into Yang Qing's body, becoming the "cowardly daughter-in-law" of Old Man Li's family, who had been bullied her her entire life. Upon opening her eyes, she was met with Old Man Li's fists and kicks, her children's cold stares, and a house full of menacing "relatives." The girl sneered—since fate had given her this body, she would live well for the original owner! The vicious husband wanted to lay a hand on her? She'd make him suffer a fate worse than death first! The ungrateful children wanted to leech off her? She'd take them all down one by one! Since this family didn't treat her like a human being, she would show them what a true "wicked mother-in-law" was!
