Summary:
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!

Review:
The translation is on wattpad, you can search the title. It is a good novel, I suggest you read it while eating since there's a lot of food's description. The food tempting is really good, I often got hungry while reading this novel.
MC is a foodie then she transmigrated as unruly noble's daughter. OMC was drown and saved by ML, she forced to suicide in order to marry ML. Since OMC aunt is an imperial concubine, ML family could only accept OMC as ML's wife. MC transmigrated when they are married.
MC is too OP on cooking skill and too innocent as modern person. Everyone will like MC's food and regard her as kind and warm. There's no villain or big conflict. I like the story of ML's second brother more than MC and ML. ML's second brother marry a north general's daughter, Zhou shi. She learnt martial arts and live freely before she married. Then ML's second brother keep getting concubines which broke Zhou shi's heart. She met MC and felt it is pointless to keep thinking about her husband. So she start cooking to distract herself. She want to go back to north but she thought about her daughter. ML's brother realize he lost Zhou shi's love and regret it. In the end he gave a separation letter, he moved to a city near Zhou shi's hometown. He said she can go back home, he will move to north with their daughter so she can meet with the daughter. He won't pester her anymore. Zhou shi is happy and went back to her hometown.
