Once he traveled through time, Gu Yunxi became the false daughter who was mistaken in the ancient story of true and false daughters.
The Gu family didn't treat her as harshly as in the novel "True and False Daughters", but they didn't care about her either. They only arranged a small courtyard for her, told her not to cause trouble, and left her to fend for herself.
Gu Yunxi didn't care. In her previous life, she was a chef at a star-rated restaurant. She worked exhaustingly for half her life. Now she could finally rest. She just wanted to eat and drink in this secluded place and retire in peace.
But someone wanted to disturb her peace.
First, she disliked her cheap second brother as soon as she walked in. He accidentally took a bite of the food cooked by Gu Yunxi, but was beaten out by Gu Yunxi and still persisted in asking for another bite.
Then there was the fake daughter of the eldest lady, who had always been wary of her. He would not hesitate to quarrel with the girls from other families and break up their friendship because of her over a plate of mille-feuille.
In the end, even the Gu family's master, his wife, and the always aloof young master came to her remote little courtyard.
"I asked my little sister to leave this for me yesterday."
"Who asked you to come on duty so late? We thought you wouldn't come back."
In the end, at the banquet hosted by the Queen Mother, someone made rude remarks to the young lady whom the Gu family had just recognized. They thought they were trying to please the eldest lady of the Gu family, but they were attacked by the entire Gu family.
"Who gave you the courage to accuse my little daughter\little sister!"

As for the down-and-out young man who had been engaged to the Gu family a long time ago and was disliked by the original owner because of his family's downfall, Gu Yunxi looked at him quite handsomely.
