This is a xianxia fantasy novel with a touch of angst and a goofy, sweet, feel-good romance. (A devoted one-on-one pairing; most of the story is told from the heroine's perspective and revolves around her. The hero makes his proper entrance quite late!)
Message: Life is unpredictable, so enjoy the present! The most important thing in life is to figure out what you really want!
When two foodies meet:
Bai Yaoyao: “I want to mooch off everyone and do nothing till I die. Want to join me? We can do it together!”
Sun Fan: “A kindred spirit! My soulmate!”
How to go from orphan to illegitimate daughter in the time it takes to eat a meal: Just get yourself a master who talks nonsense.
Zhao Xinglu: “Yaoyao, actually, you're my illegitimate daughter!”
Everyone from Wanli Sect: What a juicy piece of gossip! Master, how many more “surprises” have you been hiding from us? Out with it!
Bai Yaoyao: “I only snuck into the dining hall for a bite! Did you really get so mad that you started talking nonsense?”
When a foodie meets an arrogant fool:
Bai Yaoyao: “Since I'm going to die sooner or later, I'll choose to eat myself to death!”
Qian Cang: “I am a mighty demon emperor! How could I lose to a glutton like you?! No! I refuse to accept this! Again, again!”
It's lighthearted and interesting, I really like the character of the heroine hahaha.
