[A sweet, flirtatious beauty who knows how to draw people in vs. a cold-on-the-outside, lovesick romantic]
1-
Jiang Mianmian, a beautiful, charming food influencer with millions of followers, gets transported one day into a period novel, where she becomes a cannon-fodder supporting female character.
Before her are her kind-hearted, lucky-charm older sister, the heroine, and their mother, whose favoritism bends over backward for her. Behind her is the hero, who is foolishly devoted to the heroine.
Jiang Mianmian can only stare up at the sky in exasperation. But there's always a turning point.
The good news is that when she arrives in the book, she gets a kitchen of her own, and can improve her life with her cooking.
The bad news is... she has no ingredients at all. Even the best cook can't make something from nothing.
Her one consolation is that, through letters, Jiang Mianmian meets a powerful benefactor.
He's very kind and feels sorry for her situation, so he sends her all kinds of ingredients on a regular schedule every day.
Lively sea fish, beautifully marbled meat, fresh and tender button mushrooms...
With these ingredients, Jiang Mianmian feeds herself until she's plump and rosy-cheeked, and looks forward to meeting her kind (foolish), generous (loaded) benefactor.

One day, Xie Yuzhou discovers that a letter appears on his desk every night. The handwriting is graceful, and the messages are downright adorable.
[Good morning, big brother! Have you eaten? Mianmian's tummy is still so hungry ( ๑ŏ ﹏ ŏ๑ )]
[Your family is so happy, big brother. Unlike you, Mianmian's parents don't love her, and she never gets enough to eat. She only wears the clothes her sister has outgrown. It would be so nice if Mianmian could come live with you (*≧з)(ε≦*)]
[It's so hot today! Mianmian's about to get heatstroke. Take care of yourself at work, big brother.]
After learning about her situation, Xie Yuzhou feels even more sorry for the poor girl on the other side.
When the weather turns cold, he worries she has no warm clothes, so he sends her all his fabric coupons. When it gets hot, he worries she'll faint from heatstroke, so he asks someone to buy her a watermelon to cool her down...
Xie Yuzhou goes all out sending her food, drinks, and clothes. He's practically one step away from sending himself over.

To pave the way for the heroine, Jiang Mianmian's biased mother forces her to go on a blind date.
The man is supposedly an excellent catch: 1.9 meters tall, good-looking and athletic, with an outstanding job and family background.
On the day of the date, Jiang Mianmian meets the supposedly high-quality bachelor.
[Hmm, he's got a lot going for him, but he still can't compare to my kind and generous benefactor.]
Xie Yuzhou looks at the adorable, round-faced girl before him.
[She's a nice girl, but she can't compare to my poor little darling.]
