[Transmigrate into a Book] [Green Tea] [Food] [Mystery Solving] A top student from the modern era unexpectedly transmigrates into a book, becoming Bai Qiurui, the useless daughter of the Bai family and the female lead who has been bullied for years by her green-tea half-sister and is destined for a tragic end.
To change the story's ending, Bai Qiurui decides to become a green tea herself.
When her green-tea half-sister starts spouting insincere sweet talk, Bai Qiurui promptly pulls out some classic lines from the modern green-tea playbook:
"Sister, you look so pretty today. Unlike me, I don't even know how to do makeup."
"Sister, I didn't mean to. It's all my fault. Go ahead and hit me."

With top-notch cooking skills and a thorough knowledge of the novel's plot, Bai Qiurui uses a bowl of soup on the very day she transmigrates to give her father a new lead in solving a case, drawing everyone's attention.
From then on, there's no stopping her. She cooks at key plot points, helping to advance the various cases in the novel.
