I Won by Marrying a Spoiled Scion

Jiang Yun transmigrates into a book and becomes the vicious second female lead in an old-fashioned novel.

Her original self is the proud daughter born to a concubine in the Duke of Dingguo's household. The heroine is her legitimate elder sister.

She tries to seduce her sister's fiance, but fails and ruins her reputation.

Her stepmother then marries her off to the son of a merchant.

Her husband is:

The darling of his family, a notorious young wastrel.

Useless at books, useless at martial arts, useless at everything, and eats everything in sight.

A lazybones so beautiful, he's prettier than a woman.

Others: "She failed to become a prince's concubine and married a useless man instead. She's in for a hard life."

Jiang Yun, beaming: "What? I get to have all that?"

Her in-laws are rich, so she has nothing to worry about. Her husband is doted on, so there's no need for scheming. He doesn't love her, so they don't even have to pretend to be an affectionate couple!

It's the perfect life for someone who wants to lie flat.

Fu Heng: "I don't want to marry you, you awful woman! Waaah!"

Jiang Yun: "All right, then let's have a fake wedding."

Fu Heng: "...Huh?"

*

Men are such a hassle.

All she wants is a lazy life of eating good food and enjoying herself.

Fu Heng: "Hmph, don't think that just because Grandmother and the others like you, you can do whatever you want in this house! I'm your husband!"

Jiang Yun: "Oh. So, want some freshly fried skewers?"

Fu Heng: "Yes..."

*

The capital's noblewomen all wait for Jiang Yun to become a laughingstock: she behaved improperly before marriage, married beneath her station into a merchant family, and her husband is an idle wastrel.

But as they wait, Jiang Yun is pampered to the skies by her husband's family.

Her husband is peerlessly handsome and attentive, and not only that, he passes the imperial exams and rises quickly through the ranks.

What's more, she becomes the founder of a whole culinary tradition, with restaurants opening throughout the land...
