Clear-Headed Side Character on a Dating Show: Here to Eat, Not to Fall in Love

【Food first, with a goofy dating show on the side. The heroine is all about her career; men only slow down my eating.】 After transmigrating into the body of a bit-part actress who won't survive three days, Ning Meng is packed off to a dating show as the universally disliked foil. Just when she's about to despair, the 【Food Keeps You Alive System】 binds to her! 【Host, you have to eat to stay alive!】 While everyone else is flirting and chasing butterflies, she calculates how many minutes a dish will add to her life. While they put on jealous, dramatic scenes, her eyes light up: “How many days will this top-grade Wagyu add?!” To stay alive, while everyone else dates on the show, she keeps herself alive; while they go on dates, she cooks! At first, the whole internet mocks her as an attention seeker, and the other contestants find her a nuisance. Later... “Th-this is really just a boiled egg? Why is it so delicious I could cry?!” “Ning Meng! Please make that dish from last time again! I'll trade you resources for it!” Ingredient quality, cooking skills, and difficulty all add to her lifespan... Making a dish herself doubles the effect! Sharing it with others and giving them a “taste bud revelation” can even earn her amazing rewards! The dating show goes completely off the rails. Viewers across the internet ask: We were promised handsome men and beautiful women falling in love, so why are we tuning in every day to watch Ning Meng eat? It's strangely irresistible! The picky, aloof best actor Lu Jingchen goes from looking down on her to waiting for his meals right on schedule: “Today's food... is decent. What are you making tomorrow?” When she can exchange her life points for charm, physique, cooking skills, and even rare recipes, Ning Meng's goal is no longer just to survive. She'll conquer the world with food! From a universally despised, drama-loving bit-part character to a culinary goddess with countless fans, whose cooking even gets a top-tier star to roll up his sleeves and make her a meal, Ning Meng has this to say: Romance? What's that? Is it more important than eating to stay alive? (Though getting cozy with handsome men and delicious food doesn't sound bad either?)
