No System, no System, no System. Thanks, everyone.
Looking for Stories with a Female Lead Who Can Cook All Kinds of Delicious Food. Thanks!
The female lead can cook all kinds of delicious food, a bit like Chinese Hero. She can explain each dish as she cooks. It doesn't have to be about competing with others or picking fights through cooking; running a restaurant or something is fine.
Give Me Some Food Fiction About Street Stalls or Opening a Shop. No Starting Out With a Kid
No more child-rearing plots. I'm so sick of them. If it's a food story, just make it about food.

Looking for an ancient farming story without too many awful relatives. The male lead shouldn't constantly be a prince, general, or crown prince or anything like that. I'd like a warm, peaceful story about ordinary rural life. Please recommend one if you know any.

Are There Any Foodie Novels on Tomato?
Male- or female-oriented novels are both fine. No harems with three thousand beauties. Either no female lead, or just one. For female-oriented novels, anything goes, since I’m a total hypocrite about this. No brainless characters who get dumbed down!

I Need Ancient-Era Food and Farming Novels!
Looking for stories where the heroine transmigrates to ancient times, cooks, and builds a prosperous life. CP or no CP is fine. Not too many awful characters, and the male lead shouldn’t have too high a status. No palace intrigue, please. Great writing and airtight logic are a must.

It's a very good watch, quite heartwarming. There are no stale family dramas or awful relatives; it's simple and realistic. It would be even better if the male and female leads had more romantic scenes.
●The female protagonist's soul returns to ancient times in the modern world. ●No dramatic family drama ●Inspirational Entrepreneurship ●The romance with the male lead is also normal and not overly dramatic. ●The ending was great, it didn't have a bad ending, it was just too good, I wanted more. ●The final bonus chapter is really commendable; it makes you wonder if similar things happen in real life. ●It's really good, I recommend buying it.
Overall, this book is average compared to other food-related books I've read. The content is decent, the female lead is well-developed, and the male lead is devoted. However, Su Xue is just an unnecessary character—why is she so restless? It's enough to just read about her; she's inexplicably confident, stupid, loves to stand out, and has complicated relationships with different men, yet she…
It's super good, but it's a pity it's too short; the ending is too abrupt. It would have been better if the scenes set in Beijing had been explored in more detail. Some characters, like the older brother, sister-in-law, and Su Xue, felt unexplained. Overall, though, it's still quite good.
This book is absolutely amazing! It's completely different from those typical "strong female lead," "domineering," or "official family" novels. The author's writing is delicate, the structure is coherent, and the descriptions of food are vivid. The female lead isn't portrayed with mindless, exaggerated, or forced advantages; instead, her talents are subtly revealed through clever foreshadowing. If only there were more scenes depicting their married life! Wow, that would be so sweet!!!
It's really good! Although it doesn't have the dramatic ups and downs of other novels, it's the little moments of warmth hidden in the details that touch me the most. Although the female protagonist is mostly focused on her career, her love story with the male protagonist doesn't feel abrupt at all; it unfolds quite naturally if you pay close attention.
The plot is great, I really liked it, and both the male and female leads were great. It's different from other time-travel novels, and the character development is simple. However, the ending felt rushed. Many characters weren't properly developed; you think they had more to their backstories, and then they just appear and disappear inexplicably. Overall, it's good.
It's really good! The writing is excellent, and the food descriptions are very appetizing! The female lead focuses on her career without any palace intrigue or family drama, which is great! Although she has a difficult relative, her parents and brother are very kind, and she always manages to escape danger!
Having read so many books about strong male and female leads, either of noble birth and second only to the emperor, or of impoverished backgrounds and a bunch of awful relatives, filled with stories of fighting scumbags, manipulative women, and all sorts of scheming and plotting, this novel is a refreshing change. The author's writing is truly excellent.
It's a very good and heartwarming story about ordinary, peaceful life without any difficult relatives or neighbors. The writing is smooth and humorous, making it a light and easy read. However, many characters and events weren't explained clearly, such as the female lead's brother's wedding, her uncle's family, and the limited description of the romance between the female and male leads. The ending felt a bit rushed.
