Lin Xiang, a renowned food blogger, suddenly finds herself transmigrated into a male-dominated period novel—cast as the despised villainess everyone despises. Abandoned by her father, undermined by her mother's favoritism, and burdened by her brother's emotional trauma, her past self had been intolerable and cruel. To escape this world and return home, she must win over the male lead's affection—her adoptive brother, whose suffering stems entirely from her previous cruelty. She'd dragged him from the streets only to abuse him relentlessly, leaving his favorability at rock bottom. With no other option, Lin Xiang begins lavishing him with genuine kindness and tempting him through exquisite home-cooked meals. Leveraging her food blogging expertise, she secures a position at a prestigious state restaurant, where her pan-fried steak becomes legendary. Progress materializes rapidly. Her brother's coldness thaws, and she focuses on rekindling the intended romance between the leads to preserve the narrative. But when his protective gestures intensify into something far more intimate, Lin Xiang realizes she's unknowingly awakened dangerous feelings that transcend familial bonds.
