[Little chef x loyal puppy] [Mutual crush, pure sweetness, no angst] When clips from an unexpectedly edited livestream swept the internet, no one imagined that the soft, adorable child actress, cute as a ball of glutinous rice, had hands that could turn wild greens into Michelin-starred cuisine.
Yun Qiao only wanted to keep a low profile while she was still a nobody and finish her mission. But one appearance on a variety show gave away her secret and thrust her into the spotlight. Forced to face the cameras, equipment failures, malicious smears, and a pair of deep eyes watching her from behind the screen, she finds herself under the gaze of Qi Yan, the aloof top-tier star. He quietly clears a path for her, while repeatedly rehearsing in his heart how to get closer to her.
Act One: She falls into the whirlwind of livestreaming while in dire straits, with fame and hostility surging around her. Act Two: At the turning point, she uses the System to make a comeback and become a culinary legend. Act Three: The price is that she must face her feelings, going from playing a character to giving her heart for real.
When food becomes a shortcut to fame and fortune, and love quietly begins to bloom, how should people choose? Should they keep acting behind their masks, or take off the filters and be their goofy, lucky selves again? [There are aliens and a System, but neither feature heavily. Proceed at your own discretion.]
