Jiang Shuyao transmigrated and became a vicious lady with a flamboyant appearance and gaudy clothes. She married the most charming young man in the capital by relying on a scheme.

The husband disliked her, mother-in-law loathed her, brother-in-law despised her, Jiang Shuyao wanted to cry without tears.

However, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by a hot and spicy meal. If there is, then add hot pot, iron plate barbecue, skewers, milk tea, grilled chicken wings, custard wrap, shrimp dumplings, fried chicken, hot and sour noodles, curry rice, hand cake, fish cake stew, mashed potatoes, preserved eggs, lean meat porridge, and shrimp porridge.

After a period of time:

Picky mother-in-law: Shuyao is indeed a filial child.

Sisters-in-law: Younger sister-in-law is really cute.

Stern eldest brother-in-law and second-brother-in-law: Hard work, sister-in-law.

……

Looking at the people who have been defeated because of food, Xie Xun hates the iron for not becoming steel. Jiang Shuyao’s mind is very cruel and bad, I will… definitely not eat it… so fragrant!

Warning! Slow romance, cute relationship, annoying ML at the beginning of the story.

This novel should not be read in the middle of the night! It will trigger serious case of hunger and uncontrollable drooling.

The foods are well described to the point that you can picture it with your own imagination even if you have never know it beforehand.

Story was cute and the food descriptions made me extremely hungry. As for the three stars, personally I don't enjoy characters who are so unrestrained in transmigration novels. Mc's aware she stands out but she gives no care to it. Thank goodness she was stuck in a somewhat decent situation because if her family was malicious like other novels, she wouldn't survive past the first few chapters. I get that you can't eat everything elegantly but the discription of her gnawing and sucking on a marrow bone was really off... more>> putting. In addition, I wouldn't say she's a foodie but more food obsessed to the point where she gets punished (closing up her kitchen) but then resorts to stealing food, sneaking around, and finding loopholes. Really sets a bad example for the kids. <<less

I probably gained several pounds during the times I was reading this story.

Every chapter had something new and delicious, and it wasn't limited to just Chinese cuisine. The translator did an excellent job describing the different foods, making them sound mouth-watering.

I highly recommend reading this in bite-sized (hah!) amounts where you can take time to enjoy your own food and read the food that they are enjoying.

... more>> A novel that is definitely lethal to foodies.

I really enjoyed the lack of melodrama and how reasonable everyone was. Even the old stick-in-the-mud grandma gets some character development.

Overall an excellent food-oriented story that delivers on its promise of really focusing on the food and restaurants and improving quality of life instead of on pettiness, jealousy, backstabbing random sh*t that usually clutters up these types of novels.

Translation was overall not bad, just could use a proofreader or grammar person.

Spoiler

Granny's obsession with "the rules" could be better translated as "propriety." It's more of that old-styled ettiquette, how people should behave to exhibit their class, not some kind of rule-book that she's quoting from.

Very sweet, I really enjoyed reading this novel! I love all of the characters, not just the MC. Each one felt very real, with their own personalities, flaws, and interests. The romance between the main couple was extremely cute but also the relationships, both romantic and platonic, between the side characters were so well done. Not only is this novel about food, the novel itself is like a wonderful home cooked meal with lots of tasty ingredients!
