Watch an orphan cultivate the Heavenly Dao through the culinary path. This novel is a slow burn, and staying up late to read it may put you at risk of gaining weight.
Is everything in the world predetermined? All living things, all beings, bloom and fade in the blink of an eye. Life, death, and reincarnation are no more than straw dogs. Only the Heavenly Dao endures, cycling on and on without change.
Ask what the Heavenly Dao is, and the answer is: all is illusion.
Only the balance between Heaven and the Dao remains. When Heaven’s allotment is full, all things perish in chaos. When the Dao’s allotment is full, all things live forever in a cage.
