Su Qian transmigrates to a famine-stricken era. Just as she's about to starve to death, a young man saves her, and the two naturally become husband and wife.
Just as they're working the land and weaving cloth, supporting each other through life, Su Qian suddenly remembers that this world is a novel, and she and her husband are the villainous couple in it.
With famine after famine looming in the future, and the two of them on the verge of turning evil just to survive, Su Qian decisively takes Li Hengqiu and flees ahead of time. They open a little eatery in the prosperous capital.
Everyone envies how loving they are as a couple.
Su Qian promptly turns that into a gimmick and goes all in on their husband-and-wife restaurant. Couple's pork offal, Dragon and Phoenix Soup, mandarin duck hot pot, and couples' set meals are all signature dishes.
Their restaurant becomes a popular check-in spot for couples.
Just as life is going well, they run into the male lead, who has also transmigrated here.
From then on, there's an extra pair of eyes watching them.
At first
Male lead: Just wait. These two villains are bound to rebel sooner or later.
Later
Male lead: Why are they secretly helping with disaster relief and poverty alleviation? This is all wrong!
Theme: No matter what hardships you go through, stay true to yourself.
