The Culinary Heiress: My Necklace Connects to the Modern World

Megrie is one of the world’s top chefs in the modern age. A successful entrepreneur with a chain of restaurants, she is a woman who controls both her career and her life. Then one day, without warning— she is transported to another world. A world where fatness is considered beauty. There, she bears the same name: Megrie. But the life she inherits could not be more different. Once the beloved daughter of a city lord, this Megrie lost everything after her father died of a mysterious illness. Her stepmother and step-siblings seized her status, stripped her of dignity, and reduced her to a servant. She was denied proper food, worked relentlessly, and slowly starved. The pampered noble girl died of hunger. And so— the modern chef Megrie awakens in a dead girl’s body. Hunger becomes her first battle in this new world. To survive, she sneaks out of the castle and breaks into a house in town, desperate for a kitchen where she can cook a single bowl of hot noodle soup. She is discovered by the three men who live there. Between being turned in and staying alive, a deal is struck— she will cook their dinners, and they will keep her secret. She believes this is the beginning. She is wrong. The silver necklace she wears holds an impossible power— it allows her to access her modern-world kitchen. Ovens. Mixers. Fermentation chambers. Using techniques unknown to this world, she conquers its palate and unsettles its people. Potatoes, flour, soup, bread— ordinary ingredients, transformed into dishes that quietly change destinies. But just as she begins to carve out a new path for herself, the shadows close in. Her stepmother’s long-hidden schemes surface. The truth behind the city lord’s death grows more sinister. And the emotions entwining those around her are no longer simple acts of protection or exchange. This is not merely a story about food in another world. It is the story of a grown woman— armed with experience, resolve, and choice— who navigates腐ted power and tangled emotions, and slowly, deliberately, reclaims ownership of her life.

The Second Lead is Mine to protect

She cried for a fictional man the world forgot. Every night, curled around a book already memorized, she prayed for him—the second lead no one chose. The man who stayed when everyone else walked away. The one who smiled through abandonment, swallowed his pain, and clapped the loudest at the wedding that shattered him. In Enchanted, he was never meant to win. The male lead—arrogant, rich, untouchable—got everything. The female lead—soft, kind, endlessly forgiving—proved her worth and got her forever. And the second lead? He stood by them. Protected them. Loved silently. Then, on the night they married, he went home alone… and ended his life. He didn’t get a happy ending. He got a fandom. And she was its most broken member. She mourned him like someone real. Cursed the author. Cursed the leads. Cursed herself for loving a man who never existed. Until she woke up. Not in her world. But in Enchanted. And not as the heroine. Not as a side character. She woke up as the villain. The woman destined to be hated. The obstacle meant to be crushed. The one who, in the original story, played a small but crucial role in pushing him closer to despair. This time, she refuses to follow the script. She doesn’t care if the male lead hates her. She doesn’t care if the female lead misunderstands her. She doesn’t care if the entire world turns against her. Because this time— She will stand by him. She will see his pain. She will choose him when no one else does. And if the world insists on calling her a villain for it? So be it. She didn’t wake up to steal a love story. She woke up to save a life. Indian Version.

Working behind the scenes, unnoticed by others, had always been part of her daily life, dwelling with medicine and toxins. So, it's no surprise she wasn't exactly turning heads.

Now, Kairi must navigate not only the quantum uncertainties and her blossoming relationship, but also a treacherous game of power where her unique position could either be a weapon or a target.
