Amazing! The pastries I make turn into beautiful girls? The System says that collecting all sixteen food spirits will make my life's dream come true...
[Farming + Food + Spirits + Short Story Arcs]
Lin Wan was a modern orphan who transmigrates into the body of a young farm girl. Scarred and living in a house bare of everything, she unexpectedly binds to the [Creekside Cottage] System. Following its guidance, she builds a little courtyard in Qingxi Village, clearing land to farm and splitting bamboo to build a home. Little by little, life begins to improve.
When curling wisps of cooking smoke awaken the sleeping food spirits, a sweet and refreshing green bamboo pudding transforms into a girl in green. Only then does Lin Wan realize that every piece of traditional Chinese cuisine she makes by hand holds a living soul. The sixteen food spirits keep her company and not only infuse her pastries with magic, but also come to her aid when she is in trouble, punishing evildoers with illusions and protecting her home with their fragrance.
She pushes her bamboo cart to the West Market in Chang'an. A bowl of green bamboo pudding cools the summer heat, while a piece of flower-shaped mousse delights the palate. Before long, the name of “Creekside Cottage” has spread throughout the capital. When restaurant owners make things difficult for her and neighbors pry into her affairs, she has the food spirits at her back, friends by her side, and delicious food to help her hold her own.
No melodramatic love entanglements, just comforting everyday life filled with the warmth of home. See how Lin Wan uses food to warm people's hearts and works alongside the food spirits to turn her little Creekside Cottage into the safest haven in this fictional dynasty.
