The Villainess Brews Her Own Fate

One moment, brewmaster Zhuo Lian was falling into a dry well in modern China, certain of her death. The next, she woke up in the body of the infamous villainess from a webnovel she'd read—a woman destined for a miserable end, skinned and boned by the very man she was currently holding arsenic for: the future Duke of Zhen, Huan Shen! He was tied up, glaring at her, having just witnessed her attempt to poison him. Armed with complete, horrifying knowledge of the novel's tragic plot and her own unparalleled brewing and culinary genius, Zhuo Lian refuses to be a sacrificial lamb. Her only path to survival hinges on fundamentally changing her fate, protecting the innocent sister-in-law she's grown to care for, and reviving the crumbling family wine shop that holds the key to their future. But as she diligently cooks delicious meals and crafts exquisite wines, the suspicious Duke's gaze shifts from burning hatred to something far more dangerous… a possessive intensity. Can she truly escape her cruel destiny when the man who's supposed to destroy her starts to desire her instead, trapping her in a different kind of perilous fate?
