[My Second Marriage to the Male Lead's Older Brother] is now underway. Everyone is welcome to add it to your reading list! -- 4.18

Blurb: On her fourteenth birthday, Jiang Yuru suddenly dreamed that the world she lived in was actually a book.

In the book, Jiang Yuru's birth mother died a tragic death, and Jiang Yuru turned evil overnight. She smiled sweetly to people's faces, then secretly reported them behind their backs, determined to fight her legitimate older sister to the bitter end.

But she was always outmatched, constantly crushed by her older sister's heroine's halo. After scheming and plotting, all she got was a fate of being left to rot in the wilderness.

Knowing that no matter how hard she fought, she would never win, Jiang Yuru nervously took her birth mother away and did her best not to antagonize her older sister.

"With no other choice," she followed her older sister's wishes and married far away to an obscure young scholar who coughed blood after walking a few steps.

With no one around who knew her, Jiang Yuru let herself go. She ate and drank as she pleased, and made sure to give the young scholar his medicine.

Who would have thought that the young scholar in her household would work his way up from a lowly prefect to a high-ranking minister and tutor to the crown prince, then earn a marquisate through his own efforts?

Jiang Yuru, now a first-rank marquis's wife, looked down "from on high" at her older sister, who had become a prisoner and was about to be executed: ... This isn't how the story is supposed to go!

This is the story of a bronze-ranked nobody who somehow rises to become a king~

A timid, cutesy, ridiculously powerful heroine x a pretend weakling of a hero with a dark heart

[Reading Guide:

1. Sweet, satisfying, and heartwarming. The author treats her characters like her own children.

2. A slow-paced story focused on food.

3. The setting is very loosely based on history, so don't nitpick.]
