A down-and-out chef was framed by her peers and lost her job. No hotel would hire her, so she had no choice but to set up a stall at the night market. Her love of cooking couldn’t be snuffed out, no matter where she worked. Who would have guessed the aroma of her food would attract the dead!
Moved by compassion, Meng Po of the Underworld was tricked and lost all her magic. The soup of forgetfulness stopped working. Hating herself for trusting the wrong person and causing chaos in the Underworld, she killed her enemy and then voluntarily asked the King of the Underworld to let her endure the trials of reincarnation, so she could make amends and regain her powers.
Meow!
Some punishment that was supposed to be! I just couldn’t leave my wife to suffer alone, so I got dragged along to endure hardship in the human world too!
The author has a truly imaginative mind, combining the Classic of Mountains and Seas with folk legends to create this incredibly creative book, which I really enjoyed. However, the author's writing style is a bit too plain; it would be even better if more rhetorical devices were used.
It's quite good, but it's a bit short; some of the scenes explaining the truth went by too quickly.
It's too short Not enough
It's a pretty good short story, quite pleasant to read.
