Ye Lingge, a food blogger with a million followers, transmigrates and becomes a pitiful girl from a once-illustrious marquis family. Her stepmother schemes against her and marries her off to Lu Yu, heir to the Duke of Yu's household, as a bride meant to bring him good fortune.
Lu Yu is perfect in every way: born into an eminent family, handsome, and refined in manner. The only problem is that he's delicate and frail, easy to knock over.
Ye Lingge counts her dowry, rubbing her hands together with delight. If you round things off, this is like getting paid to keep a handsome young man.
Then she learns that if Lu Yu dies, she'll have to be buried with him.
Lu Yu has a terrible appetite. Whether it's food or medicinal tonics, he vomits as soon as they pass his lips.
Trembling with fear, Ye Lingge thinks: This won't do. My life is in your hands.
Watching Lu Yu pour out bowl after bowl of bitter medicine and tasteless food,
Ye Lingge slams her hand on the table, rolls up her sleeves, and heads into the kitchen.
Candied crabapples, bright orange and sweet with a delicate tang. Pan-fried pork buns, crisp on the outside, fragrant with meat, and full of savory broth. Shrimp with Longjing tea, tender and delicious, jade-green and snowy white.

Lu Yu was once the heir to the Duke of Yu's household and the top-ranked third-place scholar personally selected by the emperor, the most dazzling gentleman in the capital. But after he was ordered to provide disaster relief and was ambushed on the road, he was first stripped of his post, then worked himself into illness and lost his appetite.
Countless famous doctors and chefs were brought in, but nothing helped. His father, who had always favored his younger son, even scolded him for being useless, then hastily sent him a bride meant to bring him good fortune, as if throwing anything at the problem might help.
Ye Lingge is quite the character. With a soft voice and tears in her eyes, she brings him dishes and begs him to taste them.
In private, though, she saves her money and thinks only of running away.
Lu Yu: You're already my wife. Where else do you think you're going?
Theme: Plan your meals wisely and maintain good physical and mental health.
