Genres: dystopian, magical realism, absurdist dark fiction
A cold, abstinent law enforcer × a gourmet from the underground black market
The male lead transmigrates into a utopian alternate world where desire has been turned upside down, but he's a food streamer. As soon as he starts streaming, he's branded the number-one criminal for “publicly obscene gluttony” and thrown in prison, where his cellmates include a “forced-feeding offender” and an “illegal food-peddling maniac.”
After getting out, he has an epiphany: if the light of righteousness can't reach the cafeteria, don't blame me for making it big on the black market!
And so, jianbing guozi becomes underground hard currency, a recipe for spicy hot pot triggers gang warfare, and one bite of fried chicken is enough to make the wealthy and powerful spend a fortune...

[The story is complete! Hooray!] I've finally finished writing. It was like having a grand dream. A very grand, long, and oppressive dream. This feeling is truly wonderful. Even later on, when I closed my eyes, I could almost see Mengchang and Hanshi, floating in mid-air, glowing, holding hands tightly, being pulled by the vortex of fate. Some felt relieved, while others felt a sense of loss.
It's great! The romance is progressing so fast 🤭 I was stunned when I saw the "freak who bakes bread late at night" part 🤦
It's very creative, and the two of them have a sweet relationship, but it feels a bit dark and gloomy.
It's quite interesting. Although it seems to follow some absurd logic, it also reveals some truths about human nature.
This book has a very unique subject matter and writing style. Although the excessive psychological analysis in the dialogues makes it a bit difficult to read, its greatest strength is its unconventional approach.
