Feeding the Sickly Heir (Gourmet)

Food blogger Li Yuan transmigrates into the role of a vicious cannon-fodder character.

In the novel, the original character finds the injured second male lead, takes a fancy to him, and forces him to marry her and consummate the marriage. When he refuses, she tortures him day after day, leaving him half-dead to vent her anger.

What she doesn't know is that the second male lead is actually the moody heir to the Prince of Zhennan, known as the "Jade-Faced King of Hell."

After reclaiming his identity, the first thing he does is peel the original character's skin and strip her bones, then drag her into prison and torture her to death.

When Li Yuan arrives, the second male lead is hanging beneath the ceiling with his hands tied. His clothes have been roughly torn open, revealing shocking wounds, and she is straddling him.

Li Yuan hurriedly helps him get dressed, then awkwardly tries to explain: "If I told you I wasn't the one who hurt you, would you believe me?"

To save her own life, Li Yuan decides to treat the second male lead like a revered deity, hoping that once he returns home, he will see her sincerity and spare her.

First, she's hungry, so she needs to find something for them both to eat.

Unfortunately, their home is dirt-poor. After searching everywhere, she finds no more than ten copper coins.

She can't die, and she certainly can't accept starving to death. If she wants to survive, she has to make money.

So Li Yuan rolls up her sleeves and sets up a food stall.

Scallion pancakes, omurice, hot pot, spicy hotpot, grilled skewers... With one novel dish after another, Li Yuan grows her little stall into a chain of restaurants that everyone clamors to visit.

She also feeds the once gaunt second male lead until he is rosy-cheeked and pleasantly plump.

At last, her job is done. Li Yuan gives him some travel money and sends him home.

"You don't still hate me, do you?" she asks cautiously as they part.

The second male lead looks puzzled. "Why would I hate you?"

Great! Certain that he won't come back for revenge, Li Yuan can't help imagining a free and happy future, living the good life and making a fortune.

She takes out the divorce agreement she prepared long ago, barely able to hide her delight. "Could you please put your thumbprint here?"

That day, the horse that was supposed to leave town turned around and came back. The revered deity had decided to stay with her and refused to leave.
