Summary:
Tao Ti, a little taotie* cub, transmigrated and became the bride of the sickly crown prince who was meant to chase out his ill fortune, but ended up committing suicide by ingesting poison.

Met by the disgusted gazes of everyone in the Eastern Palace, Tao Ti was a little flustered.

Just then, the crown prince who was rumoured to soon die from illness comforted her, “Don’t be scared, I’ll give you a letter of annulment before I die, and return you your freedom.”

Tao Ti was stunned, “A-alright.”

Inwardly, she thought, “A gentle and beautiful man; I’m fine with this!!!”

Later——

When the crown prince was ridiculed, Tao Ti rolled up her sleeves to defend him.

When the crown prince was sick with a high fever, Tao Ti boiled the medicine herself.

When the crown prince’s appetite was poor, Tao Ti cooked, fried, steamed, and baked.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace: Safeguard the best crown princess in the world!

~

The prince of the outlying tribe was muscular and bold; he planned to abduct Taoti to the grasslands once the crown prince died.

The crown prince broke the prince’s leg, then, in the middle of the night, blocked Tao Ti.

Tao Ti’s voice trembled, “Your… Your Highness?”

The crown prince’s eyes were dark, and his smile was warm. “If I had known that you liked wild ones, I would’ve stopped pretending.”

*T/N: Taotie are ancient Chinese mythological creatures with an insatiable appetite, commonly emblazoned on bronze vessels. It’s now used as a term to describe gluttonous people. Written as 饕餮, it’s pronounced ‘Tao Ti’ in Chinese, which happens to be a homonym of the FL’s name, 陶缇 (Tao Ti).

Review:
The story is easy to guess and have common plot. Overall there's no big conflicts only a small conflicts, the villains are easily defeated more like they are jumping clown in ML's hand. MC job is feeding all the other characters and be good to ML. While ML is busy working as crown prince and emperor then pet the MC. Mtlnovel.com is not finished, there are some extra chapters, just googled it.
MC transmigrate when OMC wedding. MC felt ML is kind and gentleman, since he is sick, she took care of him. She cook and fed the other characters who will love her food and love her too.
ML mother died when he was young. ML father loves ML mother so he made ML as crown prince. Current queen thought ML will die soon so her child can become the next crown prince. When she found out ML is not sick, her son rebelled and died because ML provoke him to rebel and prepared to kill him. The queen said that ML mother suicide because she never loved ML father so she left ML and ML father. She said to ML mother that her childhood lover was killed by ML father that's why she chose to suicide.
ML father knew that ML mother has childhood sweetheart but he forced ML mother to marry him. ML mother eloped with her sweetheart before agreed to marry ML father. She gave birth to eldest prince. ML father thought it was the child of her childhood sweetheart. Later MC mother said the eldest prince is ML father child. ML mother never had relationship with the childhood sweetheart. ML father devastated and got sick. Truthfully I was more interested with ML father and mother story than MC and ML. Sadly there's no extra about them.
MC and ML had twin, daughter and son. ML retired after 20 years as emperor. MC and ML live in mountain where MC died due to old age. ML followed MC. MC is back to modern world and missed ML. Then her bestfriend said the bell she gave her can capture human soul. MC found out the bell is missing. MC uncle went to underworld and found out that ML is the old phoenix who slept. The phoenix just wake up. MC is sulking because ML didn't come to her.
ML find MC when she is eating outside. They make up and have wedding again. The end.
