When Jiang Yanyi, heiress to a traditional hotpot family, opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated into an ancient romance novel as the villainous supporting character. After framing the female lead, she was exiled to a border military camp, where she was treated as mere entertainment for the soldiers.

As a minor character, she figured she had no need to follow the main plot. The soldiers in the Western Zhou military camp all said that the new cook's skills were unparalleled. The noodles she made could be eaten dry or, with a bit of hot water, became a delicious bowl of soup-essential for soldiers on the move! Jiang Yanyi: "No, this is just instant noodles." The tea she brewed had bubbles rising from it, a slightly sweet aftertaste, and even a hint of strong alcohol. Jiang Yanyi: "No, this is cola!" The hotpot she prepared had a red broth with ingredients from the land, sea, and sky that could be thrown in to cook-its taste was divine! Jiang Yanyi: "... This is really just a common hotpot from the modern world." The fiancé who once broke off their engagement wanted to rekindle their relationship, but the famously ruthless King of Liaonan, Feng Shuo, threw his spear and declared, "Back off, this is my wife!"
