Series details Remy Voss, twenty-eight, the top chef in all of America, a James Beard Award winner. On the night of the award ceremony, the steel cable of the giant LED screen above the stage snapped—and it crushed her to death on the spot. The next time she opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into the serialized comic *The Daily Life of the Vicious Female Supporting Character*, becoming the vicious female supporting character who shared her name—Remy Voss, weighing two hundred pounds, with a waist like a bucket, layers of double chins, and hair greasy and matted. The original host had mortgaged her shop to borrow money to buy speakers for the free-spirited band player Rhett Miller, and was now being blocked at the door by debt collectors; she beat and scolded her husband Wade Colton, skimped on the milk money for her five-year-old son Tucker Colton, and even carried on a secret affair with Rhett Miller behind Wade Colton's back. On the very day she transmigrated, Remy Voss was doused with slop and humiliated by having her shoulders stepped on by Darlene Cash—the mistress of Rhett Miller and the owner of the town's big restaurant—right in the middle of the street. Gripping her top-tier culinary skills and the entire plotline of the comic, Remy Voss resolved to turn things around: within three days, make ten top-tier private dishes and land the fifty-thousand-dollar contract from the daughter of a distinguished family, Clay Boone; shed all the extra weight in two months; pay off the thousand-dollar IOU; and make Wade Colton, who was on the verge of divorce, see a completely transformed version of herself. Yet when a collapse struck at Wade Colton's construction site and rebar pierced straight through his right forearm, the rescue team demanded fifty thousand dollars as an advance and threatened to saw off his arm with a chainsaw. Remy Voss rushed over with fifty thousand in cash, shouted the chainsaw to a halt, and saved Wade Colton's hand—then fought for a three-hundred-thousand surgical fee for him, hired the state's best physical therapist, tore up the divorce papers, and built the Voss restaurant step by step into a chain brand. When Rhett Miller cut off the town's entire ingredient supply, Remy Voss stormed straight into Garrison Farm, made a single dish in ten minutes, and signed an exclusive beef supply deal. When Darlene Cash stuffed spoiled meat into her cold storage and forged false accounts to frame her, Remy Voss used local surveillance footage and the original underlying order slips that Wade Colton had organized to expose her in public, and the investor Harlan Thorne signed on the spot for a two-hundred-thousand incubation fund and three years of cold-chain logistics across the whole state. Peregrine Sterling, heir to a real estate fortune, came to her with a prime location in the central business district and offered cooperation; the two cooked side by side and moved in elite Washington circles. At the chamber of commerce tasting event, Darlene Cash stole Remy Voss's signature recipe and turned the tables by accusing her of stealing it—but Remy Voss exposed her in public with the original delivery receipts, frozen samples, and an on-site cooking duel, taking home the tasting event's gold award and an invitation to develop a flagship restaurant in Washington. Washington uncovered Wade Colton's past: he had once been a top-tier quarterback who swept the NCAA and won three MVP titles, and ten years earlier he had torn up his contract for Remy Voss's sake and broken with his parents. Peregrine confessed his love in public; Remy Voss handed over her signed divorce papers, and Wade Colton tore them up in front of everyone: "As long as I'm not dead, don't even think about settling things with me." The scaffolding at the flagship restaurant was sabotaged by someone, and Wade Colton found it used the same method as the broken leg he'd suffered four years earlier; Remy Voss set a trap, used a recording pen to make Rhett Miller confess with his own mouth, and played the recording publicly at the National Chefs' Summit, where Darlene Cash and Rhett Miller were arrested by police on the spot and both sentenced. Surrounded by investors from across the nation clamoring for her, Remy Voss made Wade Colton a vow: bring her a medal of the nation's highest honor. Wade Colton made his comeback with his left hand, fought his way to the Super Bowl, hung the championship medal around Remy Voss's neck, and reconciled with his parents. The system's glowing screen offered two choices: return to reality and reclaim the pinnacle of Michelin, or stay in the comic world. Remy Voss chose to stay: "This place has long been my home." Together with Wade Colton and Tucker Colton, she turned Voss into a nationwide chain.
