The Real Heiress Is a Culinary Master

Food expert Jiang Ningge transmigrates into the body of the real heiress, a cannon-fodder character who was switched at birth.

No one in the Jiang family likes her. They all favor the pampered fake heiress, Jiang Qingli. Even her respected grandfather says, "Ningge never learned music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. There's no need to buy her expensive instruments or brushes. Just make sure she has enough to eat and wear."

Jiang Ningge doesn't care. Give her a kitchen and enough ingredients, and she can live a comfortable, happy life.

The Jiang family sneers, "Just as you'd expect from someone raised on a farm. All she knows is how to hover around the stove."

Jiang Ningge couldn't care less. She makes peach-blossom mandarin fish, crystal pork, Longjing shrimp, mandarin duck steamed chicken, and more, living a wonderfully flavorful life in her own little courtyard.

But... why has the Jiang family suddenly changed its tune, lining up to beg for her food?

Her father: "Ningning, this purple-gold jewelry box is for you. Do you have any more spicy shrimp tails?"

Aunt Xia: "Ningjie, here's a box of Dong'e donkey-hide gelatin for you. Could you make Auntie some seafood soup?"

Her little cousin: "I'll give you all my New Year's money, Big Sis. I want some hot milk pudding!"

Even the elderly Master Jiang comes to visit in person: "Good granddaughter, here's an ancient inkstone from your grandfather. Do you have any more of that snail noodle dish from last time?"

Ningge smiles. "You can come visit without bringing gifts. Just give me the cash equivalent."

With the silver in hand, she opens a restaurant.

Seeing the Jiang family start to take Jiang Ningge's side, Jiang Qingli's mother can't sit still. She goes to the old master and says, "Qingli is the one we raised from childhood. The Jiang family fortune should all go to her."

The old master sneers. "Ningge is already opening her fifth restaurant branch. Do you think she'd care about your little bit of money?"

The Jiang family has a marriage arrangement with Prince Ning's household. Jiang Qingli secures the position of future heir's consort, only to learn later that the heir is a sickly man.

Jiang Qingli refuses the match, and after the engagement changes hands several times, Ningge has no choice but to marry in her sister's place.

The kitchen is bigger than the one at the Jiang residence, and there are more ingredients. She's just moving somewhere new to cook. Why not?

After marrying in, she discovers that the heir to Prince Ning's title is merely weak and lacking in vitality. It's nothing serious.

The heir is rather amusing. One day, he comes by for a bowl of goji berry duck soup; the next, he's there for a cup of nourishing Eight-Treasure tea. Before long, his complexion starts to improve.

One day on the training ground, everyone says, "The heir is in poor health. I doubt he can even ride... Whoa! What a beautiful turning spear strike!"

No one else knows, but Shen Yixiu knows who called off the marriage, who nursed him back to health, and whom he owes his success to.

From now on, he'll cherish and indulge his lovely wife. No one will ever bully her, not even by so much as laying a finger on her.
