Real Missy Relies on Food to Counterattack

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

She is an ancient profound iron ladle from the cultivation realm. Since she has become a spirit, her only obsession is cultivating a fragrant and soft female body.

A sky thunder smashed her into a wealthy family novel, and she became a true missy who had been wronged in life.

The real missy is the opposite of the fake. She loves vanity and lacks IQ. She is married to the half-paralyzed young uncle of the hero. She focuses on destroying the relationship between the heroine and the hero and ends up miserably.

Faced with the plot of a dog’s blood novel, she has only one thought: Great. She can finally be a cute and charming girl.

Later, she shook ten pounds of iron wok in one hand and kicked a big pe*vert to cry and whimpers.

Everyone: Do you have any misunderstandings about the words “cute and charming”?

Tang Qiaoqiao has good cooking skills. She cooks on one show and also on the next show. While filming, she also works part-time as a chef in the crew. She has become popular.

Her black fans turned to love her and only wished to eat her food. Her co-actor would rather freeload her meal. A director strongly invited her to act because she cured his stomach disease…

A certain president who wants to monopolize her: Enough. She only cooks for me!
*
Shen Yue was paralyzed after a car accident. His temperament changed drastically, and his life seemed to fall into the boundless darkness.

At this time, she was the only light in his life. Not only she healed his legs, captured his stomach, but also occupied his heart.

What, if his legs are cured, they will get divorced?

Don’t even think about it!

I LOVE this story to the core. A family that will touch my heart like a lovestruck fool. I completely read it in one day and the ants piled up in sweetness. This story motivates me to work hard in my school and my job at the same time. I love their child at the Bonus Chapter. Her name was Little Toffee and the family of three crush me with their cuteness. The story were amazing, hilarious, romantic and perfect. It's not cringy and the chapter was perfect and not... more>> boring. It has a perfect impact for past time and I can't control my urge to bit my hands by the Couples antics.

I'm grateful for the author and translators for the work. I'm hoping for other stories like this one. Full of liveliness and romcom 😊😊 <<less

Adorable!!!!! We got a cold faced ML here but is always cracked due to MC's silliness 🤣 He be very tsun tsun hehe, kinda cute BUT MC's much cuter 🥰. Comedy is just right up my alley 😌. Angst is just not really present? I mean you got a confident protag here who's very unfaced with her rival's trivalities and also gets back at them at just the right amount. And yes, it's a typical ceo x artist plus contract marriage But I'm okay with it. It's actually on my personal list of okay novels with cliche plots cuz it's not abusive and we have a caring ML in the end. Not really dog-blooded but centers around our MC. I didn't even notice that I reached the ending huhu goddamn short novels, although I always fall for them 😭. Imho I could still continue reading this for another 10-20 chaps or so. MORE CUISINE STUFF PLES

BTW. I love the translator huhu. The descriptions for food was top-notched! Damn I can't wait to try them all. Every food related episode has instructional vids at the very end which is definitely a plus! Especially when I get hungry because of food descriptions in the novel 😭. I salute thee, wonderful work! 🙇🏻‍♀️
Spoiler

I'd like to insert here how I love the plot of another movie in this novel named Cocoon like damn, I don't know if there's a similar plot in movies irl but if there is, I WOULD TOTALLY WATCH IT. I won't spoil what it's about, just that it's more of a suspense one heh 😏

Awww... this novel is comedy gold. It's really funny and the story is great. There isn't any angst and although here should have been a lot of dog blood, instead the story focuses on the positive.

The translator is the same one who translated Bai Fumei in the 70's and you'll be gushing over the extra effort she puts to have pics and links to videos of the food. Excellent translator.

The ML is sweet and the story revolves around food and the fl's journey to fame, as well as how the... more>> leads develop affection with each other after marrying for chouxi.

Hightly recommended. 10/10. <<less

5/5 #Fave An adorable comedy of a strong but caring FL who wants to be a cute girl but is in fact very much boyfriend material HAHAHA. She cares for ML from the get-go as a normal person/friend, and their relationship started off slow and steadily. FL antics lead to humourous results, and ML is grumpy but slowly indulgent once he understood that FL really means well and treats him right (instead of treating him as a money tree). FL's high-level cooking skills are still within a reasonable range, and... more>> there are still food outside that are good (rather than the typical 'protagonist must be the best and make the best food' logic). The showbiz and family drama are just right without being overbearing (or dogblood) and the balance of sweetness, humour and relationship development really makes for an enjoyable novel. Not a plot-heavy novel but a wonderful story of fun and love. <<less

It's a true feel-good novel. Stress-free but not boring, as there are subtle comedic scenes all throughout.

MC is straightforward, hilarious, and grounded, while the ML is a cute vinegar jar (but not in an invasive, restrictive, and annoying way) who wholeheartedly supports MC in all that she does. Their banters are funny and enjoyable, but they care for each other a lot as shown in numerous scenes.

I recommend this one for those who are looking for fluffy and entertaining stories that are not bland nor irritating. All the more if... more>> you are interested in food! <<less

This book was such a good time!

Firstly the translation is outstanding! I felt like I got all the nuance the author was trying to convey. The interactions between the leads was so funny and I felt the love grow between them. The MC is a strong female who is funny, thoughtful and has a good heart - how could the ML resist? The story's themes were also beautiful and well fleshed out. Food and its power to bring people together is a core message. Get ready to salivate over the... more>> vivid descriptions.

There is plenty of fluffy and no angst at all. You won't regret reading this one if you are looking for an easy read that is quality too. <<less

I really LOVE this story! The MC is interesting and the ML guys the ML!! He's not forcing her like other ML. Even shockingly the MC can go through red carpet with a high slit dress. Usually ML forced MC to change their dress. Also this guy really support her work like really support, not cutting her from any work. It's all on MC side to choose.

I love the FL. She is very independent and headstrong. She's very humorous as well 🤣. A must read for those who love light-hearted novels and gluttons.

The FL's family:

they are only relevant in the early chapter but halfway onwards they aren't even mentioned lol.

This is an entertaining novel with a strong FL who wants to be an adorable Princess, but fate conspires against her again and again

And the translator did a wonderful job. I really appreciated the recipe videos, I want to make the Lotus Flower Pastry and the Coral Fish, even though my knife skills aren’t that good

It’s a really fun novel and I highly recommend it

This was light, cute and fun novel to read. No dog blood drama and no unnecessary villains. The description of foods that FL cooked were really made me want to eat it LMAO.

FL (Tang Qiao Qiao) was a funny, straightforward and strong FL, I just felt that she's too OP and her heroine halo was so strong... While our ML (Shen Yue) was tsundere kitten.

I'm glad that the novel didn't focus on OG leads and the family conflict. Also, the author mentioning underlying facts about some issues in entertainment industry.

However,... more>> the whole plot kinda forgettable and no unique points plus some plot holes messily thrown for leads' halo. <<less

A very warm novel that makes you hungry~~~

I like how this novel overturned the usual Weak and Reckless Actress FL x Strong and Overbearing CEO ML cliche lol. FL may be quite reckless but that's because she knows how powerful she is. She is quite a Mary Sue in a sense cause well, her soul's not human but rather a spirit of an iron ladle who practiced cultivation for a long time. She wanted to have the image of a soft and weak beautiful girl but that didn't last long... more>> since she couldn't help but show how strong she actually is. She's very straightforward towards the ML and only got a bit hesitant when she started to be confused about her feelings for ML. Thank God that at that time ML decided to finally pursue her and showed his strong courting powers lol.

ML was very prickly in the beginning and he likes being sarcastic to people. He started as someone who seemed to hate himself and everyone else but then he was quickly tamed by FL's godly cooking. He then became a tsundere who would secretly support FL in an adorable way (unlike a President's way of chasing his wife lol). After realizing that their relationship wouldn't become better if he doesn't move first and that FL planned to divorce after healing his legs, he started to pursue FL. It was very subtle at first then he just started to declare his sovereignty slowly by becoming CP with her lololol.

As much as there were 'villains' in the novel, they didn't pose much threat and easily gave up upon realizing that they couldn't stand a chance against FL and ML (They have brains at least for once lol). Overall, it was just a feel-good novel with lots of descriptions of good food. Man, ML really was lucky with her lol. <<less

Great story, refreshing female lead, none of the brainless drama, and most importantly...

DELICIOUS FOOD ABOUND!

Kudos to the translator (s) for the excellent food descriptions, very mouth-watering.

Overall plot of transmigrated iron ladle (yes... an iron ladle who cultivated into a human body but then got lightning'd into a book) was handled well. Unlike other transmigration novels, MC's background was connected to her personality: straightforward, confident, generous, broadminded person whose bouts of cluelessness about the modern world only added to the comedic elements.

Love the frequent role-reversal the author used for the MC:

... more>>
Spoiler

for example, the ML is frequently the shyer one in the relationship. The MC is physically stronger as well (she even picks him up a few times in a princess carry which is fantastic and hilarious).

[collapse]

MC's personality also doesn't change after the relationship is affirmed:

Spoiler

Her bluntness and straightforwardness continues, even when they confess and sleep together for the first time. No shirking violet blushing 360 personality transplant that happens in other novels.

[collapse]

A few weaknesses in the novel

Spoiler

ML goes through a bit of character development (what a tsundere guy), but MC never does. Her character pretty much stays the same throughout the novel. The relationship development was written pretty well and helps make up for some of that lack.

Author can also get a tiny bit preachy at times (not sure if it was too blunt because of translation). Regardless, I can understand where the author is coming from, just too blunt at times for my preference.

[collapse]

Overally I recommend as a fantastic foodie-read; fluffy and balanced, without crazy idiot side-characters spitting toxic tr*sh. There's still face-slapping, so it's still refreshing. Just pleasant :)

Translation is pretty good, flowed well.

Spoiler

A few things lead me to think it's edited MTL but that's totally fine. Edited MTL can rival "legit" translations in quality if the translators take time and effort to do it properly. This one certainly does.

The female lead halo is strong in this one. But I still gave it a high score because there are honestly funny moments. And MC is not unlikeable. At least she supports girl power, and she helps other females. I especially like that there is very little drama.

She wins at everything too much though, so that's a bummer.

There's no character growth on her side but on MLs side, there's a lot. At first, didn't really like him, as he is very tsundere, but later he opened up, and he supported... more>> her all the way.

Mainly, I will rate this novel 4, because their kid is so cute. <<less

Cliche food p*rn, fluffy entertainment story. If you like this genre really recommend. Really appreciate the translator for the food photos and YouTube information for the food. There’s no dog blood or big face slapping, or s*upid villains, and there also a bit plot holes here n there but this story only revolves around the main cp, so just enjoyed it. The writing is ok so it’s not too boring. Light reading. Thank you

4.5/5

Food focused to just the right degree. The story spends a decent amount of time explaining what MC is making, but not so much that it's boring. Also it makes me super hungry with how the cooking process is described (thank you to the lovely translator who had pictures and videos!).

For the rest of the story:

MC is a brazen and straight forward woman in the best way. She truly doesn't care about the more annoying people around her and does what she wants to. It also reflects well on her... more>> character that it's not really to the detriment of those who treat her kindly or neutrally. She mostly gathers friends and admirers for her cooking skills and fast random acts of heroism. It's definitely not realistic but her progression of ascension in the public eye is fun and well paced.

I actually really liked the relationship between her and the ML. While a lot of reviewers found him rude, I think his personality was a more of a reflection of his poor physical circumstances and self-loathing initially. After he starts to heal and work together with the MC, he goes back to become morenlike a regular slightly tsudere individual. The dialogue between the two main characters is very snarky and grows on you the more the two become friends/comrades working together into having romantic inclinations. I really liked their relationship and found the dynamic between the two pretty fun.

Overall, it's not a very face-slapping heavy novel (though there is some), but the MC is what I would actually consider a stronger female character. She's truthful to herself and it's nice to see her self confidence grow with her career and the ML's growth as a person throughout the novel. <<less

The food descriptions are perhaps a quarter of the entire word count; in that sense, it's satisfying enough. Sometimes the food is strange stuff like boiled turtles, offal and pig trotters... but I can accept appetizing descriptions of these conceptually, even if I'd never actually eat them.

However the amount of food decreases in the second half to focus on drama and romance QWQ

The three stars deduction is completely because of the ML and his family. Their personalities are too bad. ML easily tips over the vinegar, and is also rather... more>> selfish, dishonest and prideful. He's not terrible to the extent of rousing mu*derous hatred; but he truly has a wretched mental state. His mother is also a overbearing person who seems to act only as a plot device to force MC and ML to get closer.

For me, this novel would be more of a relief if MC cured his legs and then cleanly divorced ML like she originally wanted to. Or even better if ML never existed in the first place. He's completely unnecessary.

First half of the novel still readable if you ignore him ♪♪

Anyway, rather than some husband MC didn't even choose, I prefer to ship her with those fair, sensible and loveable movie queens (such as Mao Li and Chen Qing), pity they didn't get much screen time. <<less
