MC started selling chinese pancakes when she arrive at T city it was nice and all until scum ex bf came and destroyed MCs pots. The parents were meh irritating with how they think the sole purpose of MC is to get married and get pregnant. There's also her ex roommate, I dunt know her deal but she's just so jealous of MC she slandered MCs business and hook up and got pregnant with MCs ex. Later on the ex-rommate was jailed and expelled from school thanks to ML.

The FML has appeared in just a few scenes (im only at 76) and she immediately felt that MC is a force to be reckoned and wanted her out of their city, she proposed a cooking challenge where if the MC lost she shouldn't appear on D city anymore. With mouthwatering description on what MC cooked she won the challenge but still left the city, she won a million cash.

the MCs business started growing and later on the ML offered partnership where he provided the restaurant, which MC bought using the money she won from the challenge.

The FML appeared again but theres not much screen time the orig leads created trouble with the MCs chili business but it backfired, orig female lead got fired by orig male leads father, since shes prideful she left then oML followed they havent appeared after that.

MCs parents took MCs graduation cert (?) Which is needed to find corporate work, hoping MC would come back.

Forgot when this happende but the parents went back to the hotel and dreamt about MCs past life, where they forced MC to give up what she wants (listening to cd, playing with cooking toys, painting) because they thinks its not good for her. They saw MC married scumex and live a miserable life of working for the ex and mother in law wllike a dog and then she divorced the scumex but tdied after that.

When parents woke up they were scared and thought back to what they did, they went back to MC restaurant with cds, paint supplies, and knife set apologizing to her.

Making it short, they regretted their actions and they gradually accepted and supported what kc wants.

MC went abroad with ML and parents to taste foreign cooking since she wants to join god of cooking contest. She got hacked in weibo again but it was resolved.

The later parts where mainly about MC preparing and finally joining the elimination round 9f the cooking contest.

After the 3rd elimination round (i think?) She used a dark soup base she made abroad but then again on weibo someone revealed tlit wasnt her recipe and stole it from foreign restaurant, after that some black fans started saying shes always with ML being driven by luxury cars in every elimination round and she's a whitelotus.

Of course it was resolved when the foreign restaurant ownerwl was interviewed by one of MCs fan and was told that MC made the soup base on her place and left her some.

This is when ML actually confessed on weibo saying that it was him chasing the MC.

The MC was shocked but not repulsed and when she went to the next round of the contest with ML picking her up, she accepted his confession.

Not much changed on their interaction imo, aside from ML saying shameless things and holding her hands at every opportunity.

MC gained more points since her food became better to the point that she got 100 in cooking and other stas inc vision, beauty, stamina, speed etc.

The systems interface also change since she levelled up she gained a virtual farm and instead of exchanging the food directly for points it became like a store where she post her food and different system users from all galaxies can browse and buy it using point.

At one point she get to know a user with code 0007 from same place and galaxy but is a user from ancient times, her ancestor (not direct line ancestor)

Niways 007 is high level and can travel through space for 2 hrs, he requested to go to MCs restaurant with his "friend" so called friend is female and is a transmigrator from a parallel time on earth (shes from modern era just like MC but some things there developed dufferently from the MCs own time) of course MC and her hit it off she cooked so many things after hearing the girl that they dont eat beef on ancient times and how she missed cake. MC keep cooking but found out that 2hrs had passes and the two ancient people disappeared.

Thats the only major happening on system aside from leveling up so far

It begins with how MC separates from her useless parents and pathetic boyfriend, starts selling her own food stuff from a tricycle to setting up her own gourmet restaurant. No romance till now coz MC is literally working at her restaurant + improving her cooking skills to join some fancy god of cooking competition show from sunup to sundown. Her business partner (some bigshot who has lots of businesses and decides to go into food industry with MC's recipes) is showing romantic interest except he has never dated before and is a dullard at displaying interest. MC has no interest in anything other than cooking for now so she is blind to his over-the-top protectiveness/ good behavior towards her.

Some uh system thingy going on too. A system contracts her - she has to sell her food for points and can buy super high/ highest quality stuff from the system which she uses in her cooking for eg. Oil, peppers etc. She is not the only one using the system. In her plane, there are more than 8000 others using the system just like her (not necessarily for food though as system can exchange a lot of other stuff too). There are multiple planes too. Her only contact to another system user is 0007 (lol author seems to be James Bond fan) from the ancient times. She sells her dishes, wine etc. To him and he gives her reviews too.

Ex-bf smashes her tricycle in anger but she uses this opportunity to become better and buys a food truck instead while getting a lot of compensation from him. She also deals with her parents at the same time. She kicks out the b*tchy ex-best friend too. Some online weibo drama of fake news about her etc etc.

MC gets invited to a final dinner at graduation at the hotel that belongs to oriML - from the book - and when her classmates asks her the reason why she isn't eating at all, she answers honestly and says she isn't really into the food. Cue green tea ex-friend that in order to get revenge on her, incites Mary Sue heroine by telling in front of her that MC said "The food is bad".

ori!FL gets offended gives a speech that makes MC look like a bad guy and oriML, as the owner of the Hotel, supposed to be the child of heaven and smart literally just turns full Karen on the MC and demands an apology.

What. the. hell.

As someone who worked in restaurants and catering industry, I've met several arrogant bosses but no matter how much of an ass they were in private, in front of clients as long as they didn't do anything that crosses the line everything is tolerated. Even if dismissing complaints of food and being condescending, they are never disrespectful without a reason. If you have the same business policy as Amy's Baking Company your business is bound to fail regardless of how preppy your family background is.

So, no even if the Jiang guy is a Mary Sue hero, he would be smart enough to smile politely and ask what is the problem with the food and if she needs anything else then proceed to screw her up in private. So yeah.
