The Divorced Wife Gets Rich Through Food (Transmigrate into a Book)

My first book wasn't very good. I know it has lots of flaws, and I'll keep working hard, but I still don't recommend reading it because it's really, really, really bad. [Bows deeply]

Fake aloof, actually tsundere, pure-hearted hero x fake frail, actually powerful, straightforward heroine

Li Yueming transmigrates into an ancient romance novel and becomes a cannon-fodder supporting female character. In the story, the woman is beautiful and wealthy, and has a considerate, gentle, perfect husband. Her life should have been smooth sailing.

Who could have known that his thoughtfulness and gentleness were all a disguise? Beneath that handsome exterior was a two-faced scoundrel who was always plotting to seize her family's fortune and take her life.

By the end of the story, the woman's family is ruined. Her husband schemes away the entire family fortune, built up over decades, then uses her money to marry a pretty young bride.

When Li Yueming arrives, her father has died of illness, her mother has been angered to death by her husband, her husband controls the entire family business, and his mistress has moved right into the house. Even the mother-in-law whose living expenses she pays has started ordering her around. Yet she remains devoted to her husband, hoping he'll change his ways...

Li Yueming: A person shouldn't, at least not like this.jpg

Her urgent priority is to escape this nightmare and save her own life. To leave with her life intact, she's forced to give up the family business and walk away with nothing, all for a little peace and quiet.

To make a living, Li Yueming carries on her family's trade. She starts with a little food stall by the city gate, then opens a restaurant. Eventually, she has a grand restaurant and an inn, and even launches a home-delivery business to bring delicious food straight to people's doors.

With her superb cooking skills, Li Yueming rises from a penniless divorced wife to a legendary culinary goddess.

And just as she becomes a wealthy culinary goddess, her ex-husband's family falls into decline. His concubine runs off with what little money they have left. Reduced to utter desperation, her ex-husband is nearly forced to beg in the streets. With nowhere else to turn, he can only kneel before Li Yueming and beg for forgiveness.

Li Yueming doesn't even look at him. She just tosses him a coin: "Get lost. Don't get my clothes dirty."

When his attempt to get back together fails, her furious ex-husband goes around ruining her reputation, saying she's unfaithful and doesn't know how to behave as a wife. But then he's dragged before the court, where the prefect seated in the magistrate's office smiles faintly:

"I hear you've been going around saying my wife doesn't know how to behave as a wife?"

Ex-husband: "Y-Your Excellency must have misheard. I meant I'm the one who doesn't know how to be a husband. I deserve to be beaten..."
