The upperclassmen didn’t believe it, thinking someone was pranking the freshmen, and some even played along as a joke. Unexpectedly, many freshmen responded, sincerely thanking them for the recommendation.

Later, they found out that Cafeteria One was indeed still as terrible as ever—except for one food stall, which stood out with its delicious dishes.

Eventually, this gourmet cafeteria window became so popular that people from outside the university were trying every trick in the book just to sneak into H University for a meal.

Oh well, work knows no distinction of high or low; though being a cook may not be as dignified as dancing, it’s still a skill.

Coincidentally, Gu Qian was a divine chef before crossing over. With a pot and spatula in hand, she works wonders!

Brief Summary:... more>>

An ageless boy who dreams of becoming the number one Chinese master chef is finally "picked up" by a gentle vampire, leading to a sweet story of "partner, kids, and a warm home."

The Zhan family's thousand-year-old motto: "There's nothing a meal can't fix."

Zhan Xiaoyu adds one more: "And if it doesn't work, serve a nourishing pot of Mao Xue Wang."

Taglines:

"I cook for you, but you want to date me?!"

"The whole world wants to eat my food!"

"This doctor (crossed out) vampire is kind of handsome..."

[Please take note of the warnings below—Crossover with Western stories—MPreg]

Plot Overview:

A half-vampire, half-unknown bottom (who thinks he's human) x a gentle, patient, and subtly flirtatious vampire doctor top, who is committed to looking handsome 25 hours a day.

Warnings (Important!):

1. Mixed-race original character (bottom)—Crossover—MPreg. Highlighting that MPreg is not limited to the main characters.

2. The official pairings are broken up (because in the story, the protagonist meets the top first, so there’s no marriage between the top and anyone else).

3. Not only will the protagonist's pairing be broken up, but possibly other pairings too, although the classic CP from two "detective" stories will remain.

4. The story is primarily sweet, with my usual style of idealized fluff and inevitable indulgence. <<less

When Qiu Yuruo had just come of age, her parents died one after another. By some twist of fate, she transmigrated to ancient times; only to once again become a little orphan girl without a father or mother.... more>>

With nowhere else to go, Qiu Yuruo could only rely on her elderly grandparents. To survive, she agreed to marry in place of her cousin to Su Yunting—a man whose parents were also deceased and who had three younger siblings—just to serve as a bride for his recovery ritual.

Facing a household with an unconscious young man, a sickly teenage boy, and two frail little girls…

In order to prevent the whole family from starving to death, Qiu Yuruo rolled up her sleeves and began a life of hardship and perseverance alongside her three in-laws.

None of the four had strength, and none were particularly well-educated. Fortunately, Qiu Yuruo had one valuable skill—her exceptional cooking.

She opened a humble food stall by the roadside. Not only did she manage to support the family and bring prosperity to their days, but she even sent her younger brother-in-law back to school.

When greedy relatives came trying to take advantage of them, she picked up a kitchen knife and fought back without hesitation.

When her little sister-in-law fell ill, Qiu Yuruo didn’t hesitate to spend every last coin they had for treatment.

As for the comatose man who was her husband in name only, Qiu Yuruo never held back her care. After all, it was because of him that she now had a home and three lovable younger siblings.

Just as Qiu Yuruo was finally enjoying the warmth of a home, a stable livelihood, and the joy of raising the children…

Su Yunting, the man she had always believed would never wake up, suddenly opened his eyes!

As everyone around cried out their congratulations, Qiu Yuruo was stunned. She felt nothing but a deep, overwhelming shock. All she wanted was a moment of peace and quiet.

****

Su Yunting had lived a solitary life, alone until his death of old age. Yet when he next opened his eyes, he found himself back in his youth, once again lying in a coma.

He thought he would have to painfully relive each moment as his loved ones passed away one by one. But unexpectedly, the fiancée who had drowned herself in his previous life had this time safely married into his family.

Because of her, the younger brother who was supposed to break his leg and grow up withdrawn, became even more cheerful than before. The youngest sister, who was fated to die early, became healthy and lively thanks to timely medical treatment.

Su Yunting could feel her warmth and hear the joy and sorrow in her voice. More than anything, he longed to open his eyes, to take the heavy carrying pole from her when she went out, to apply medicine to her burned hands, to offer her a shoulder to lean on when she was tired…

This is the story of a “cursed star” and a lifelong loner—two negatives combining to make a positive. <<less

"Anecdotes of a Lady Chef" frankly narrates the encounter between a crazy lady chef and mensao imperial chef, a crafty prince and idiotic girl. ... more>>

The Lin family has a daughter, Wu Niao, who time traveled into the internal strife to become the champion of chefs just as she was cooking some noodles, and she then cooked instant noodles together with the brilliant prince and imperial chef.

Lin Wu Niao was blind in the kitchen and had no ambition. Despite being born in a noble family of chefs, neither her legs nor her arms were diligent. Rather, she was too lazy to practice cooking, and she was only skilled in cooking cup noodles.

By chance, because she was cooking instant noodles, the pressure cooker exploded and she was blasted into a country that did not exist in history - the Jin Dynasty. There, Lin Wu Niao transformed with a single shake, becoming the recommended chef of the imperial kitchen's first chief manager, the imperial Lin kitchen.

Without even the slightest bit of culinary talent, Lin Wu Niao had no choice but to toughen up and participate in the selection for the imperial kitchen. Relying on five packs of instant noodles and a stick of Maybelline lipstick, she was easily chosen.

After entering the emperor's palace, handsome men and beautiful cuisine became the modern-day Lin Wu Niao's romantic undertaking, a double harvest. Not only did she harvest the love of the mensao kitchen chief, she also obtained the title of first of the palace hall's imperial chefs.

Yet, because of the ambiguity of the chief manager of the imperial kitchen, Miao Man Xi, she was drawn into an inner court rebellion. On one side, a beautiful man. On the other, a beautiful career. At the end of the day, which one should she seize?

Hilarious to the point of making one's hair stand up, the crazy lady chef decisively battles the imperial palace with the powerful beauty of the kitchen-blind. She challenges the imperial kitchen with pots, bowls, ladles, basins, battling to the summit. <<less

“Are you eating in this situation?”... more>>

“Of course! I’ll have to keep savoring the taste until I die. Do you want one?”

She was reincarnated in a novel as Luana, the abandoned princess.

And her death was already decided.

She just wanted to let people know about her cooking talent, but she was misunderstood as a witch because of her cheese jerky!

The General of the conquering army, Duke Legion, who had lost his sense of taste, took her to the Empire for her extraordinary jerkies and to break the curse that had come down from generation to generation.

“It is delicious, isn’t it?”

“Prepare the same for the dinner.”

She was happy to be able to cook and eat as much as delicious food as she wanted…

But now, she also wanted to look after Legion.

‘Eat three meals a day, and make sure to make dessert. I’m sure he will be able to gain some weight…!’

–

The Duke took the jerky from the princess. On the surface, it was no different from any beef jerky.

But when he took a bite of it, it felt like a new world had opened up.

The jerky, made by the princess, felt more tender than the others as he gently crushed it with his teeth.

The taste of condensed meat smudged his tongue as he chewed on. It was just as she said.

He could feel the savory taste of the spicy meat, and at the end of the day, he wanted to have more.

The desire that he had, faded for a while.

“I didn’t really want anything, but now I think I do.” <<less

Li Xiangfu returned after traveling through the Nuzun Kingdom!... more>>

Life’s pressures molded him into a polymath, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting during his years of adventure. His embroidery and culinary skills surpassed all, and he assumed the role of the household manager.

The ambitious young master of the Li family, fixated on seizing the family fortune, faced exile abroad. Upon his return several years later, everyone anticipated his mischief. However, instead of chaos, they witnessed him playing the guqin in the morning, engaging in double-sided embroidery at noon, and preparing soup after washing his hands in the evening.

Li Xiangfu mused, “People resemble pale chrysanthemums, tranquil and content, devoid of desires. Let’s not disrupt this tranquility.”
