[Food-themed story + cultivation + slow-burn growth + lighthearted and humorous writing style]

[The female lead is intelligent and slightly goofy, while the male lead is obsessive, neurotic, sarcastic, soft-hearted, and arrogant.]

Yu Guiwan, living in the apocalypse, had thought about all sorts of ways she could die, but she never imagined that she, a top-notch chef, could be poisoned to death by a pot of mushroom soup!

She was filled with humiliation, only to discover that she had traveled through time.

Even more humiliating was that, as soon as she came back to life, her heart was stabbed by the original owner's husband, her immortal bones were removed, and all of them were given to his innocent and virtuous disciple, euphemistically called a sacrifice of love.

Yu Guiwan: You scoundrel, you know how to use a CPU!

But what she didn't expect was that she could transmigrate again. When she opened her eyes again, there was still a year before her immortal bones were taken away... She decided to cultivate diligently and hold on for the time being!

She made a comeback, taking cooking as her path, and became known as an unambitious culinary practitioner.

Yu Guiwan: I'm not afraid!

With a flick of the spatula and a toss of the pot, she can make everything from boiled pork slices and spicy crab to snail rice noodles—if you can imagine it, she can make it! Doesn't that smell amazing?

Joined the poorest sect? No problem!

Is it just about earning spirit stones? She does mukbangs, delivers takeout, and even the Sword Sect's top experts have become her delivery guys. Why would she worry about going broke?

Before he knew it, he had won over many powerful figures, and even the cold and aloof Demon Lord had the audacity to come and freeload a meal.

[Female-oriented + Interstellar Sentinel + 1vN + Battleground of Heroes] Xia Yu, a botany graduate student, was caught in a landslide while conducting research in the mountains. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in interstellar space, becoming an arrogant S-rank guide despised by everyone. Before she could improve the original owner's interpersonal relationships, her spiritual core was ripped out, shattering her spiritual sea. But what awaited her was not becoming a cripple. The "plant sample" she held in her hand before transmigrating transformed into a sapling that took root in her spiritual sea, replacing her spiritual core. Jianmu, recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, is a divine tree that connects heaven and earth. She became an F-rank guide. But because of the existence of Jianmu, she completely disregarded her rank. The S-rank red-haired Sentinel knelt before her, lightly grasping her fingers. "Xia Yu, give me your pheromones..." The silver-haired Commander spoke gently, cupping the back of her head with one hand. "Xia Yu, can we form a contract?" The wolf-like boy gritted his teeth. "I was the one who confessed to my sister first..." The black-haired young man narrowed his long, narrow eyes, gently holding her fingertips. "Xia Yu, tell me what kind you like, I can learn." The curly-haired Sentinel, who claimed he didn't like her, glared with eyes that were slightly red without him even realizing it, yet he feigned composure. "What's so good about a stinky lion and a stinky wolf..."

The servant looked at the grieving princess. “Your Highness, the Regent Prince sent your scholar fiancé to the Western Butcher’s daughter!”

The princess gritted her teeth, speaking to her servant that it matters not as she has other suitors in line. Many days later, much to her dismay, the servant ran in a hurry. “Your Highness, the Regent Prince expressed his intention of becoming your suitor! All other men in line were sold to Gou Lan Red District!”

The princess was distressed. She said to her servant it matters not. She’ll soon be married to Prince Fuma. Then the uneventful came. The servant once more ran to her, almost tripping in the process. “Your Highness, Prince Fuma was imprisoned at home! Meanwhile, there’s a red sedan chair waiting at your residence for your marriage! It was led by the Regent Prince!

The princess was stunned. For a day such as this to come, it seemed impossible. This nothing but a sad story of a female boss crossing back in time to hold the thick thighs of the big boss. But while raising him, she was eaten in the process.

One night. An unwilling sacrifice. That is all it takes for Lan Qianyu to become pregnant with his child.

For the sake of her flesh and blood in her womb, she is forced to marry him and step into the limelight as Mrs. Ye. To the public, he is a gentle, handsome, rich man who takes care of his family. In private, he is a cold, heartless, and domineering Devil Husband.

He bans her from interacting with any men other than himself. Even making eye contact with other men can set him off into a jealous rage.

Yet, he brings the woman he loves back home, and dotes on that woman right before her eyes. If their marriage is but a cold, empty shell, why is he refusing to let her go? In this marriage, she has to be on her toes every step of the way.

One final day, she refuses to continue this game of love with him and dashingly walks away from him. “Devil Husband, I’m done!”

Lin Yan is a professional car racer who fell from grace after her sister set her up. She becomes an actress for the sake of her boyfriend, who later cheats on her with her sister. Her life, career and relationships reach a slump.

Enter Pei Yucheng, the president of the JM corporation—a multinational conglomerate. He is unfathomable, cold and aloof. At random, he would mysteriously lose control of himself, and Lin Yan is the only one who is able to calm him down. The first time she meets him, she feels an indescribable fear deep within her soul. Unbeknownst to her, they had met each other a long time ago, but she had chosen to forget him…

Soon, something puzzling and strange begins to happen to her. Occasionally, she loses consciousness and ends up in Pei Yucheng’s room the next day, completely unaware of how she ended up there. She suspects that something has possessed her…

The worst thing that happened to Song Xi after time-traveling to the interstellar era?

Getting kidnapped and forced by a male creature.

Then came the insults, contempt, humiliation, and personal attacks from that creature’s fangirls, friends, or mortal enemies—pushing her to the brink of death.

In the end, she was falsely accused of mu*dering some noble and got exiled to a penal colony for mining!

No big deal. She’s the laid-back type who knows how to survive anywhere.

But on the way to exile, she found out she was pregnant.

And every advanced race in the galaxy found out too!

She lost her cool!!

Those high-tier races completely lost it as well—racing to apologize, fighting to take her back, begging her to have their children, and even threatening to use force if she refused.

Song Xi: “Get lost, all of you!”

—

“You dragon clan hurt her. What makes you think she’ll willingly stay with you?”

“You’re the hope of our Alliance. How dare they try to keep you to themselves?”

“If I could destroy the Alliance and kill you, I gladly would.”

…

“Not a single one of you ever asked for my name. Not one.”

Notes:

In this setting, humans have the lowest status.

Higher races have long lifespans and go through heat cycles, but all are c.

Every world has its chosen ones, destined to stand at the pinnacle, looking down upon all others, yet their fates are fraught with hardship due to the loss of their destiny.

Lou Zhuang was told that all of this was because she accidentally blew up the system bureau.

So, Lou Zhuang was packed up and sent to the small world to redeem the chosen one.

The switched-at-birth heirs of a wealthy family;

The War God Prince in a Wheelchair;

A genius whose spiritual roots were extracted;

...

Having successfully redeemed the chosen one and helped him return to his peak, Lou Zhuang prepared to run away, but was locked down by the chosen one.

"If you don't love me, then I can only keep you locked up by my side."

Career-oriented female lead vs. love-obsessed male lead

Jing Wushuang encountered the hot first nobleman in S City three times, and watched him use a hammer to knock his invincible heart into a big hole…

She said, “Mr. Mu, give me a decent home, right?”

He said, “Okay, let’s go.”

“Where to go?”

“Civil Affairs Bureau.”

“But it’s Saturday today.”

“Someone will work overtime.”

Since then, Mu Jinchen has embarked on the road of no return to beloving his wife…

The short drama has been released.

[Long-awaited reunion + reconciliation + the superior bowing down for love + both partners being virgins]

Li Mai had no idea that her ex-boyfriend, who had disappeared for five years, was actually a mysterious heir to a prominent Beijing social circle.

...

While accompanying her boss to a dinner party, Li Mai met her ex-boyfriend, Zhou Songyan, whom she had been searching for for five years.

Zhou Songyan has transformed into a princeling of the Beijing elite circle.

Back then, the company the two worked for was a branch of Zhou Songyan's family business, and he went there to train without revealing his identity.

However, even though they had been together for over a year, Zhou Songyan hadn't revealed a single word to her.

Zhou Songyan wanted to test her.

Unfortunately, the test results disappointed him.

So he erased all information and disappeared from her world.

Zhou Songyan publicly mocked her: "Li Mai, didn't you want to marry a rich man? Have you married yourself off yet?"

Li Maiqiang forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, President Zhou. It will be ready soon."

At the bathroom door, Li Mai wanted to explain what happened back then and also wanted to tell him that they had a child.

Zhou Songyan coldly replied, "Miss Li regrets finding out my identity? Trying to use this trick to get close to me?"

Li Mai knew that explaining was pointless.

She put aside all her thoughts and turned to leave.

She thought she would never cross paths with Zhou Songyan, since Zhou Songyan hated her.

But this man kept appearing in front of her.

When Zhou Songyan learned the truth about what happened five years ago, that Li Mai had been looking for him for five years, and that they had a child.

He waited outside her house, humbly begging to get back together.

[Historical setting + military marriage + sweet and satisfying romance + arranged marriage + wife-chasing drama!] Song Shengsheng had a nightmare, only to discover she was a cannon fodder female supporting character in a historical romance novel—the male lead's vicious ex-wife who died young. In the book, she was useless except for her beauty. To get rid of her husband, she wrote a letter of denunciation, accusing her military officer husband of having questionable social standing. Not only that, but when her husband traveled a long way to pursue her and beg her to return home, she rejected him without hesitation, even adding insult to injury by mocking him for never being able to recover. Ultimately, her husband's entire family was exonerated, and his father and brothers were reinstated. He himself rose rapidly through the ranks, becoming a high-ranking official after returning to the capital. Meanwhile, she, the vicious female supporting character who abandoned her husband and children, met a tragic end by committing suicide. Song Shengsheng, upon waking: ??? To avoid a miserable ending, she had no choice but to try her best to be a good person. She waited for the turbulent years to pass before peacefully divorcing the male lead and pursuing their own happy lives. Life went on. Just like in the book, her husband's position rose higher and higher. Song Shengsheng waited and waited, but he never initiated a divorce. Song Shengsheng, however, didn't want to continue. Once she felt she had the means, she declared without hesitation: "Fu Cheng, I want a divorce!" Fu Cheng, who had tirelessly cleaned up so many messes for her over the years: ??? The female lead is a good actress; her love is all an act. The male lead's love is genuine; he's ruthless and doesn't talk much.
