Chapter 1

I stopped chopping vegetables, my eyes glued to the floating text.

[Once our female lead baby appears, she’ll cook all sorts of gourmet meals for the Male Lead every day.]

[Then they’ll unlock all kinds of kitchen PLAY-kneading dough while he kneads her.]

[As for that Villainess Supporting Character, her core and dragon marrow will be perfect for cleansing the Female Lead’s marrow and tempering her bones.]

[The dragon horns the Female Lead grows will be a delicate pink. One lick from the Male Lead and she’ll…]

[…]

Chang Yuan was right beside me, looking at my hands and then at my face.

He asked cautiously, “Wife, am I still getting dinner today?”

I stared at him for a long time.

Finally, I realized what was wrong!

My husband, Chang Yuan, was born into the Chang Family of the Immortal Sect.

Thanks to an ancestor who earned divinity during the War of the Gods, he was born with a semi-divine body.

Standing nine feet tall and peerlessly handsome, one look at him was like gazing upon a majestic mountain or the highest clouds.

But I had never heard of a semi-divine being who was such a glutton!

Handsome Male Lead, lowered intelligence, obsessed with food…

So this was a xianxia gourmet novel!

I had been so focused on leaching off his immortal aura to ascend that I didn’t realize I’d bet my future on a dog!

Fate had truly set me up!

Originally, I just wanted to give him some medicine to make him lose his sense of taste.

Now, I felt like feeding him Ten-Thousand-Year Realgar and watching him die.

However, the Heavenly Dao imposed many restrictions on my race.

Killing a semi-divine being would bring down heavenly tribulation upon me.

And so…

I said, “Chang Yuan, let’s break up.”

Chang Yuan: “…Huh?”

I turned around and went into the house to pack my bags.

The danmaku was still scrolling frantically.

[The Villainess Supporting Character actually has some self-awareness.]

[But if she leaves, what about our female lead baby? The female lead baby needs her spirit bone and core to cleanse her marrow and temper her bones.]

[The female supporting character must poison the Male Lead, otherwise the plot will collapse!]

[…]

I found it hilarious. I only wanted to give Chang Yuan a little poison to ruin his sense of taste.

Even if I actually did it, did I really deserve to have my bones scraped, my marrow drained, and my core gouged out?

[All the female supporting character loses is her life, but the Male Lead would lose the ability to taste delicious food!]

[The person above, isn’t that a bit much?]

[What’s ‘a bit much’ about it? She was deceiving the Male Lead from the very beginning.]

[Exactly. She’s just a wicked Jiao from the Great Marsh who tormented the commoners. If the Male Lead knew the truth, he’d kill her instantly.]

[…]

Chang Yuan dropped to his knees, hugging me while crying. “Wife, I won’t be a glutton anymore. Please don’t leave, okay?”

[Male Lead, that’s enough. What’s so great about the slop the Female Lead makes anyway?]

[The female lead baby was a gourmet streamer in her past life. She’ll have him completely charmed when the time comes.]

[…]

I pushed Chang Yuan away helplessly. “Our paths are different; we cannot walk together.”

Chang Yuan was bewildered. “But we’ve been together for over two thousand years!”

I said coldly, “Actually, I hate cooking.”

Chang Yuan: “…”

To be fair, a large portion of the danmaku was right.

Since things had reached this point, I decided to be honest with Chang Yuan.

“I hate cooking, and I hate pretending to be a mortal couple with you here.

“I even saved a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Realgar. There were so many times I just wanted to kill you and be done with it.”

Chang Yuan frowned. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t consider your feelings.”

I expected that. His character setting was indeed one of pure kindness.

But it didn’t matter. I still had a trump card.

“There’s one more thing. I absolutely loathe those mortals you protect. I wish I could slaughter every town at the foot of this mountain three times over.”

Chang Yuan: “Wife, stop joking. You’re so kind…”

I sighed. “I am of the Great Marsh Jiao Clan.”

The danmaku went wild.

[Holy crap, the female supporting character just outed herself!]
