Synopsis:
Overworked office drone Lin Xiaoman stayed up all night finishing a melodramatic angst novel. When she opened her eyes, she had become the vicious supporting female character who wreaked havoc in the story. Her mission was to redeem the obsessive, sinister second male lead, Pei Yan, within three months. The System warned her that if she failed, she would be struck by lightning and turned into a roasted chicken wing!
To stay alive, Lin Xiaoman serves up sweet-and-sour ribs with one hand and spicy hot pot with the other, determined to soften the handsome lunatic who will one day turn dark and slaughter an entire city with the comforts of home cooking.
However
Pei Yan expressionlessly chews on the fried chicken she gave him, then sneers, “Run away again, and I’ll lock you in the kitchen and make you cook for the rest of your life.”
Lin Xiaoman: ??? Wasn’t this supposed to be a redemption story? How did it turn into coercive love?!
(Silly, sweet romance + healing food + a yandere who can’t resist. Also known as I Opened a Food Stall in Ancient Times to Keep a Lunatic.)
