Rich heir Huo Yanshen is flipping a wok in his own kitchen when he opens his eyes and finds himself back in time, turned into “Huo the Fool,” the laughingstock of the whole village.
Mockery explodes in his ears: “Huo the Fool went to fight the dogs for buns again!”
“My son has his eye on your wife. Jiang Xuerou must marry him!” The village chief’s son flings cash at his face. “You’re not even fit to live in a doghouse!”
No one expects him to sneer and say, “That day the mountain floods hit, you pocketed the disaster-relief funds. Was it enough to buy your whole family’s lives?”
But love brings no miracle.
His eyes full of devotion, he says, “Jiang Xuerou, I love you. I miss you.”
But she is cold as ice. “You can’t give me anything.”
His heart twists in agony. “I’ll make you happy, I promise...”
She spits out just one word: “Get lost.”
In his previous life, he was a culinary genius who dominated the food industry. In this life, armed with a wok and a few ladles, he livestreams his way to a comeback.
On camera, he uses fluent English to clap back at a foreign internet celebrity who looks down on Chinese cuisine, and the whole internet erupts:
“This chef’s English is insane!”
“Holy crap, what a legendary counterattack!”
As he sets the internet ablaze, he also carves out a place for himself in the culinary world. Within three years, he builds the Huo Yan Group and sees his fortune soar.
Three years later, Huo Yanshen takes center stage with an imposing presence in a televised interview.
And Su Wanning, the sexy woman who once suffered from severe anorexia, now clings to him with pleading eyes. “Why didn’t you cook today, honey? I’m starving to tears!”
On the TV screen, he smiles with ease.
Jiang Xuerou regrets everything. Eyes brimming with tears, she says, “I still love you. Can we start over?”
He smiles faintly. “Get lost.”
Cooking, livestreaming, and business warfare: he crushes it on all three fronts!
See how he goes from a laughingstock and a loser to turning his life around with a single wok and rewriting his fate!
