Men, Get in the Bowl!

[Two male leads + farming + food + Cultivation + progression fantasy + a (weak) System + snark]

Du Manman was an utterly ordinary (not!) little-restaurant chef in the modern world. Then a gas explosion sent him into the Cultivation realm, where he became the owner of a bankrupt inn?!

Luckily, he brought along his family’s heirloom kitchen knife, has a pocket dimension at his disposal, and even has the bizarre ability to “hear” ingredients speak!

In the “Culinary Star Realm,” cooking is the Dao, and food cultivators are everywhere.

Watch as Du Manman and his adorable assistant Li Ergou “stir-fry” their way through the food-cultivation world:

Spicy crayfish wins over a pure-hearted body cultivator, drunken immortal tofu attracts a seductive fox spirit, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall leaves a repressed food-spirit master begging for more…

What? You say Fuman Restaurant is bullying people? I’ll make you a plate of “Heartbreak Rice” and have you on your knees calling me Dad!

What? You say the Taotie Cult is wreaking havoc on the world? Come on, try my “Origin-Returning Soup.” It’ll clear away all your evil thoughts and turn you into a Buddha on the spot!

Wait… why are these three refusing to leave? And… are they getting jealous over me?!

Du Manman (inner monologue): All I want is to cook in peace, and maybe… become the God of Food, that’s all!

[Power couple, one-versus-many (?) or no CP (I haven’t decided yet). Light and funny, guaranteed happy ending. You won’t regret giving it a try!]
