【Main story complete, extras currently being updated!】 Culinary artist Meng Yuning transmigrated into a book, becoming the cannon fodder original wife who abandoned the male lead in his time of crisis.
In the book, Crown Prince Qi Jingyan lost favor, became crippled in both legs, was stripped of his position, and was exiled with his younger brother to a remote fiefdom. The Empress Dowager, doting on her imperial grandsons, insisted he complete his marriage before leaving.
The original body didn't want to suffer with him and found an opportunity to escape on the way to the fief. She encountered bandits, fell off a cliff during the escape, and died. Meanwhile, the male lead bided his time, endured for years, and eventually returned to the pinnacle of power, becoming an omnipotent regent.

When Meng Yuning transmigrated, she had already stolen a horse and fled some distance. In the desolate mountains and wilderness, with no one around, she unhesitatingly turned back.
Upon returning to the campsite, she saw the man sitting in a wheelchair, holding a baby, looking at her with a frosty expression. Meng Yuning dismounted and presented a handful of wild vegetables she had casually picked by the roadside to him: "Your Highness, if I said I went to pick vegetables, would you believe me?"
Qi Jingyan glanced at the bundle on her back, said nothing, and turned back. --- It's unclear if he believed her or not, but the dish Meng Yuning made to prove her innocence was completely devoured by him.
From then on, no matter what Meng Yuning cooked, he would eat it all. Miraculously, his legs, which had been paralyzed in the previous life, slowly recovered.
Qi Jingyan's career gradually got back on track, and they barely saw each other once every three to five days. Feeling that it was a good time to leave, Meng Yuning subtly brought it up: "Your Highness, I have now taught the household chefs all the dishes you love. It's not right for me to simply idle here and eat for free all the time. What do you think if..."
Qi Jingyan interrupted her: "When do you think is appropriate?"
Is he really that easy to talk to? Meng Yuning happily said: "How about today?" "As you wish," Qi Jingyan turned and left. Meng Yuning joyfully packed her bags, but before she could leave, she was dressed in a crimson wedding gown and sent into a meticulously decorated bridal chamber.
Meng Yuning: "...?"
