Splendid Brocade at the Humble Gate

A culinary goddess from Huaxia transmigrates and finds herself in the body of a 200-jin chubby girl. Her younger siblings are all pale and painfully thin, with barely a scrap of flesh on their bones. As the eldest sister, Nie Ling'er can only cry out at her own overly plump figure, “I'm so ashamed, as your big sister!” Luckily, she has peerless cooking skills, so she decides to focus on building a career. She gets her start with ease, selling pickles and opening a restaurant, while also winning over a legion of loyal foodie fans. At the Great Zhao Culinary God Competition, she crushes the opposition at every turn, trouncing both the Northern and Southern Culinary Kings and claiming the title of Great Zhao's number-one “Female Culinary God.” From then on, she has both fame and fortune, and her career flourishes. But wasn't her career supposed to soar straight to the heavens? How did a romance suddenly get mixed in? Nie Ling'er: No one could possibly see past my layers of fat and notice my inner beauty. Qin Jue: I can! Nie Ling'er: ???? Qin Jue: But I still think you'd be better off thinner. It's healthier. Nie Ling'er: Is that any way to talk to a lady? [One-on-one romance, both leads have no past relationships, gorgeous heroine VS the handsomest hero, career focus early on, sweet romance later]
