After Ji Qianyi died, she was bound to a System. The System gave her a mission: erase the sin points from her previous life.
From the System, she learned that in her previous life she had been the cruel adoptive mother who abandoned a young villain.
After taking in the young villain, she often beat her and kicked her, and routinely denied her food. Later, she even sold the young villain for money, subjecting her to inhuman torment.
The consequences of offending the young villain were obvious: she died horribly.
After learning what would happen, Ji Qianyi wanted nothing to do with the young villain. But with a mission to complete, she had no choice but to keep her.
At first, she only wanted to finish the mission and then stay far away from the young villain. Later, she did everything she could to figure out what to cook and how to make the young villain a little chubbier.

The young villain's family was wiped out when she was two. She was captured and imprisoned for three years, and her bloodline was used to nourish the spiritual power of a sect as they ruthlessly wrung every last bit of value from her.
Her older brother did everything he could to rescue her. The two collapsed from exhaustion while fleeing, and a woman found them and brought them home.
When she woke again, a voice in her mind was screaming: "Get out of here! There's a wicked woman here. She'll abuse you!"
"Don't stay here. She'll treat you terribly later!"
"You'll have a miserable life because of her!"
As she hesitated, a steaming bowl of lamb paomo appeared before her. She looked up to see the woman from the voice in her head, the so-called 'wicked woman,' carrying it over with a smile.
She fell silent for a moment, ignored the voice in her head, and devoured the lamb paomo.
She thought, anyone who could cook this well
couldn't be a bad person.
