The Fake Heiress Only Wants to Open a Shop and Make Money

Wen Ying transmigrates as the fake heiress of the Marquis's household, just as her true identity is exposed.

The original owner cried and made a scene, refusing to leave, and ended up driving herself to death.

Wen Ying, however, leaves the Marquis's household without looking back,

returning to the home where her biological parents died, leaving her only a younger brother, a younger sister, and a shabby restaurant.

Some people pity her for losing a life of luxury, while others wait to see her make a fool of herself.

But Wen Ying, part-time food influencer and eldest child since childhood, knows exactly what's what:

The old madam favors boys over girls, her scumbag father dotes on his concubine, and the Marquis's household is full of restrictions. How could that compare with running her own business and making money?

She sets up a street stall, fixes up the old shop, and makes delicious food. The "Come for the Aroma" restaurant gradually makes a name for itself in Bianjing.

Her once-quiet, timid younger siblings grow plump under Wen Ying's care and become the most envied children in the neighborhood.

Wen Ying, once gossiped about as the fake heiress of the Marquis's household, becomes the celebrated Madam Wen, the restaurant's proprietor.

The very people who'd waited to see her fail now come knocking every day, eager to do business with her and build connections.

Xu Xing is forced to run an errand at the Marquis's household, where he grows curious about the fake heiress who has fallen from grace.

Where does she get the confidence

to be certain she'll have a better life than she did at the Marquis's household?

Then he tastes the food made by this young Madam Wen and immediately agrees with her wholeheartedly:

Madam will put that shabby Marquis's household under her heel before long!

Later, people all call him shameless.

He took advantage of Madam Wen's humble beginnings to court her every day and win her over early.

Xu Xing reflects on this for just a moment before forgiving himself.

After all, who wouldn't want to be the first to eagerly gobble up food made by Madam Wen?

It would be even better if he could marry the all-capable Madam Wen!

Wen Ying's life after transmigrating is going quite smoothly. The rare disruptions are mostly connected to that young nobleman Xu Xing.

The day she leaves the Marquis's household.

Xu Xing: Is this shabby place supposed to be any good?

She asks him to try a new dish.

Xu Xing: Did you make this just for me, or does everyone else get some too?

He catches her on a blind date with someone else.

Xu Xing: If I'd known he'd be coming, I wouldn't have come.

Wen Ying: ...
