Renowned chef Yu Fengchi discovers that she has transmigrated into a melodramatic period novel, becoming the cannon-fodder best friend of the female supporting character.
The cannon-fodder best friend is kind and naive, and treats the female supporting character like family, but the latter only thinks about using her.
Whenever the female supporting character wants to make snide remarks at the heroine, she sends her friend to the front lines while she watches from behind. Whenever she wants to frame the heroine, she tricks her friend into charging ahead while she hangs back. After all that scheming, the friend successfully becomes her scapegoat and ends up at the police station.
After transmigrating, Yu Fengchi can't help wondering how the original girl could have been so foolish.
She decisively dumps the female supporting character and goes home.
Back home, Yu Fengchi sees her parents, troubled and worried about being laid off, yet still making sure to prepare hot meals and water for her; her earnest little brother, who obediently calls her Big Sister; and her two little nieces, who run over and call her Auntie. She decides to grab a wok spatula, lead the whole family to prosperity, and build a better life together!
After a flurry of preparations, the Yu family's steamed bun stall opens for business.
The neighbors don't think much of it, shaking their heads. "Has that Yu girl gone crazy? Instead of taking a factory job, she's become a private entrepreneur?"
"Who's going to buy such expensive buns from a street stall? I'll give it a few days before it closes down!"
A few days later, a crowd has gathered around the Yu family's bun stall. "Boss, give me ten! And you in front, no cutting in line!"
The neighbors bite into their big meat buns. "Mmm... delicious!"
Later, the bun stall becomes a small restaurant, and the small restaurant becomes a grand hotel…
The female supporting character returns from the big city, seething with resentment. She can only console herself that at least she's found a rich man to rely on. But then she sees the lofty Hong Kong tycoon speaking gently and cautiously to Yu Fengchi.
