Period-Era Novels, Technological Powerhouse, No Romance
Are there any novels where a modern person transmigrates into a period novel and uses modern technology to defend the country? Either a male or female lead is fine, and secret identities are okay too. No romance or family drama, just serving the nation and being doted on by the government!!

I don't know why this book has such a low rating, but as someone who has been reading online novels for nine years, I genuinely think it's very good. The author's depiction of Xia Yu and Bai Jin's relationship is very delicate, understated, and without many dramatic events. Isn't that just like most of our lives? The author's language isn't ornate, but it has a touching, gentle warmth.
I'd give it 4 stars. It's good for killing time. Did the author switch from a female-oriented fiction genre? The inner monologues and external interpretations are quite delicate. However, there's one thing: perhaps because it's a slice-of-life food story, the writing style is very realistic at the beginning. But once the male and female leads start interacting, oh my god…
My dream love letter—free of any hostility—this is exactly the kind of everyday food writing I've always imagined.
It's a great read. After reading it, I felt calm and peaceful, and my mouth watered at the sight of the delicious food. It reminded me of the feeling I had when reading "Back to the Cat". Keep up the good work, author! Your book will definitely be a hit when it's finished!
A light and delightful story. It's filled with the warmth of everyday life; every character is imperfect, but none are resentful or complaining. They all strive to live and grow through experience, becoming better versions of themselves. The male lead's special abilities are explained reasonably, and the female lead's emotional journey unfolds naturally and logically. A story worth reading twice.
Wow, look how beautiful this simple and understated style is! This is the second food novel I've ever loved. It's always so hard to find this type of story. I hope the author continues with this style and doesn't create unnecessary drama; simplicity is the true essence of literature.
A good book with a smooth plot, a storytelling feel, and delicate emotional descriptions; the author is truly a storyteller. The story revolves around food, interspersed with glimpses of the protagonist's emotional journey. While not all the food items are real-world products, they are not entirely fictional.
There was no dramatic, ambiguous relationship, just a touch of ordinariness amidst the everyday life. In the end, it added a small patch to the relationship between the male and female protagonists, but it also left some lingering regrets...
It's a very enjoyable novel. The only regret is that it wasn't quite what I expected. Perhaps everyone has a different opinion. The female lead I envision shouldn't be like Bai Jin, and the male lead shouldn't develop in this way either. He's a laid-back guy with ambition; because he has maxed-out culinary skills, he can travel the world, experience different cultures, live a carefree life, master the best of Chinese cuisine, spread food culture, and have only one person by his side.
Well written; I rarely see books like this. It interprets the meaning of happiness as finding true meaning in the ordinary, without striving or competing, showcasing the richness of life. It's a very positive and uplifting book, a breath of fresh air among books published in recent years. Keep up the good work, author!
