I Recreated the Flavors of Chinese Cuisine and Shocked the Internet

[Food + no female lead + everyday life + perfect with a meal + heartwarming + healing + cooking competition]

In an era dominated by premade meals, food blogger Fang Yuan is determined to recreate lost Chinese dishes.

Phoenix Skin, Jade Dragon Tendons, Hibiscus Crab Shells, Imperial Palace Ten-Thousand-Blessings Pork…

He could enter any one of them in the little Thousand Chefs' Showdown and win by a landslide!

Just as Fang Yuan is trying to decide which famous dish to compete with, he unexpectedly binds himself to a food System.

Fang Yuan: All right, I'll come clean. I'm China's number-one God of Cooking… Wait! Why is the preliminary round asking me to make plain steamed buns???

Xie Fengwei: The buns were good. I hope you'll show your real ability next time and show the judges and the production team some respect.

Fang Yuan: Sure! I'll make a creative dish with the laughing mushroom. You'll be seeing little people before you even taste it.

Viewers: Please, Fang Yuan, open a chain of restaurants across the country. If we can't eat your food again soon, we'll blow up Blue Star.

Fang Yuan: Fang Yuan's cooking class is now in session! Say no to premade meals. Cook for yourself and you'll have plenty to eat.

Kitchen disasters: What?! I actually made Wensi tofu!!!
