Su Yijing, who is bound to a Chef God System, transmigrates into a fake-and-real heiress novel. She becomes the fake heiress who shares her name, a brainless cannon-fodder tool character who brings misfortune upon herself and is hated by everyone.
Su Yijing: Good grief, that description is longer than my life.
The original owner, egged on by a bunch of brainless villains, makes a point of finding creative ways to court disaster with the novel's future big shots. She bullies the bookworm in her class, who will become a scientific genius; mistreats her adopted sister, the real heiress, who will become the most prominent socialite in the country; and humiliates her childhood friend, the future richest man, who has suffered a terrible misfortune. In the end, her adoptive parents throw her out, leaving her with a miserable fate.
Su Yijing: ...Original owner, you've taken a wrong turn.
To forge her own path to success, Su Yijing decides to save herself and become independent.
So she diligently follows the plot while devoting herself to studying how to cook
When the heiresses hold a flower-arranging and appreciation party, Su Yijing grabs a handful of flowers and stews them with pig's trotters.
When the future richest man holds a piano recital, Su Yijing brings a cow to listen to the music.
When the scientific genius works through formulas, Su Yijing loudly reads out The Essentials of Food and A Guide to Home Cooking beside him...
Everyone: Hah, she's just a counterfeit who can't hold her own in decent company.
Later
The pig's trotters stewed with flowers become a symbol of the city.
The cow that listened to the music becomes a beloved mascot and makes a fortune overseas. Su Yijing's contribution to restoring ancient recipes makes her famous far and wide.
People line up outside her high-end restaurant, which takes reservations from members only: This food is so, so good!
Su Yijing is a force to be reckoned with!
Su Yijing: ? I'm just cooking like anyone else.
When the plot reaches the scene where she's about to be thrown out, Su Yijing packs her things and prepares to go to France to attend the three-Michelin-star award ceremony.
Su Yijing: Goodbye, Mom and Dad. I'm sailing off tonight... Huh??
Why are they clinging to her and refusing to let go, each crying harder than the last?
At that moment, the little bookworm and the future richest man each take one of her hands, both insisting on accompanying her.
Su Yijing: ???
If you want to say something, just say it. Why are you getting handsy? Weren't we all supposed to be bros?
The two men look at each other, then speak in unison.
"To hell with being bros!!"
You can only belong to me!
