Lu Yao transmigrated into a book as a cannon-fodder supporting heroine who shared her name.

A fire took her whole family, leaving her with only a four-year-old nephew and an injured voice.

Fortunately, her fiance was in the Northeast. Not only was he fabulously wealthy, he also offered to marry her.

She thought that if she married with her nephew, she'd live a life of luxury. But when she arrived in Harbin, she realized she'd been tricked...

He wasn't some rich young man from the Northeast at all. He was a deadbeat who wouldn't repay his debts, and he'd called her there to hand her over to his creditors as payment.

That day, Lu Yao used the little money she had left to buy two chicken legs to nourish her nephew. She had just brought the pot out when the door was kicked open.

A burly man gripping an iron rod stared at her with a cold, murderous look. "Where's that Shen son of a bitch? He owes me his two legs. What does he have to say for himself?"

Facing the creditor who'd come to collect, Lu Yao tremblingly lifted the bowl of chicken steamed with vinegar and gestured with her hands. "C-chicken legs, will these do...?"

Liao Yanchuan. His name sounded refined, like a decent, honest man.

In reality, he was unruly and huge, and supposedly could kill a tiger with his bare hands when he was young.

A few years earlier, he'd kindly lent money to an old classmate who wanted to start a business. He lost every last cent, and the man ran off.

That day, he heard that his old classmate's family had arrived, so he grabbed a weapon and went to collect.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a beautiful, fair-skinned woman with a graceful figure, looking at him with bright, tearful eyes.

Liao Yanchuan took the two "legs" the mute woman offered him. His Adam's apple bobbed. "Your man owes me money. How are you planning to pay me back?"

A little restaurant had just opened in the urban village.

They said the owner was mute and had opened the place to earn money to pay off her debts. Luckily, she was a wonderful cook. The shopfront was tiny, but there was a long line outside every day.

Crispy pork knuckle, rich but not greasy; spicy red-oil rabbit with numbing pepper; hand-rolled fish balls so fresh they made your eyebrows jump...

A year later, the urban village was demolished and redeveloped. The diners kept wondering whether she'd return to her hometown in the south.

Later, they heard she'd married a major landowner in the village. His surname was apparently Liao.
