"How will you live without me?"
Cheng Yang was barely breathing, but his eyes still shone as he gazed at his beloved wife, unwilling to look away.
They already had grandchildren, yet she was still as delicate as a child.
He had to soothe her to sleep, feed her water, and hold her hand as she walked... How would she manage without him?
Back in the 1970s, he excitedly went to find his sweet, delicate wife.
Huh?
Who was this strong woman who never cried, even when she bled, and could knock out a burly man with one hand?
Cheng Yang was dumbstruck. Liu Rourou was frantic.
Oh no! Her persona as a delicate, weak little thing who could be knocked over with one push was about to fall apart in this life!

Synopsis: Chef Su Nuannuan is transported into a period novel, where she becomes a cannon-fodder supporting character whose only purpose is to make the heroine shine.
The heroine is her cousin, and the whole family favors her. The only person who favors Su Nuannuan, her grandmother, is branded the villainous grandma and meets a tragic end.
Su Nuannuan decides to split the family with her grandmother and live their own lives.
Her biased relatives think it's a joke, certain Su Nuannuan will come crawling back sooner or later, begging them to take her in.

She wins the admiration of the state-run restaurant's manager and becomes a master chef everyone clamors for;
She earns the local government's support and opens the whole town's first privately owned restaurant.
Years later, not only have Su Nuannuan's former relatives failed to see her fall on hard times and beg them to take her in,
they instead beat their chests in regret for splitting the family with her and missing out on the glory of having a nationally renowned female chef in the family.
Meanwhile, the cousin they favored has become selfish and constantly fights with them, leaving them with no end of grievances.

People used to say that for a slovenly girl like Su Nuannuan, lazy and ugly as she was, any man willing to marry her would be a blessing from her ancestors.
And yet she had the nerve to reach for the moon, setting her sights on Leng Yan, the village's youngest and most promising village secretary. Everyone laughed at her for it.
But once Su Nuannuan became a chef everyone admired, the men who wanted to marry her were so numerous they formed a line stretching beyond sight.
Everyone changed their tune, saying that whoever married Su Nuannuan would have ancestors whose graves were sending up auspicious smoke.
No one said she was unworthy of Leng Yan anymore.
Then everyone saw Leng Yan, so busy he could barely find time to eat, making time to visit the cemetery every day.
Leng Yan: "I'm just checking whether auspicious smoke is rising from my family's graves."
