Zhu Xinyu had harbored a crush on Jin Yu for many years, and to her dismay, had watched someone snatch him away at the last minute—and that someone was a woman superior to her in both beauty and ability.
Though she was reluctant to admit it verbally, she knew in her heart that she had truly lost to Xu Niannian.
She made delicious food, spoke with a gentle voice, was so beautiful, and even knew how to make money.
Left with no alternative, Zhu Xinyu could only gracefully bow out.
When Jin Yu and Xu Niannian got married, she was there. She watched from a distance for a little while before leaving.
Not long after that, Xu Niannian returned to the capital with Jin Yu.
Zhu Xinyu was a typical food lover, and while Xu Niannian was still around, her pride wouldn't allow her to show her face.
After Xu Niannian left, Zhu Xinyu found herself at Xu Niannian's family's small restaurant every few days, eating butter noodles.
Despite so many visits, she still loved it.
