(The rating just came out, so it'll keep climbing.)
Jiang Chen, a three-Michelin-starred chef, transmigrates into a death-row inmate at the Dali Temple. His execution is set for noon!
At the brink of death, the [Life-Extending Recipe System] activates. If his cooking stirs people's emotions, he can extend his life and earn god-tier rewards!
A bowl of pork lard rice makes a jailer weep; a pot of bone broth brings a marquis back from the dead.
He easily crushes the imperial chefs when they challenge him. When the empress tries to poison him, he turns the tables and gives her unstoppable diarrhea, leaving her utterly humiliated!
At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, a single feast of vegetarian dishes made with winter melon is enough to send three hundred thousand cavalry fleeing in terror.
The four kingdoms of Huangbei, Wunan, Xiliang, and Donghai compete fiercely for him, each offering up their princess!
Who could have imagined that years later, the death-row inmate once awaiting execution
would become Emperor Chen, conquering nations and uniting the world without raising a single soldier, all with one pot and a few dishes!
When the court historian bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you unite the world without waging war?"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "I didn't conquer the world. I conquered its people's stomachs."
One of the most enjoyable novels I've read this year! The protagonist always handles various crises calmly, and his character development feels incredibly natural. The other characters are also all vividly portrayed. Moreover, the author's environmental descriptions completely immersed me; reading the text felt like watching a high-definition movie. In short, it's packed with laughs and satisfying moments! 😄🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This theme is quite novel, and the author updates relatively quickly. The protagonist is quick-witted and speaks skillfully; each character is vividly portrayed. I hope it doesn't have a bad ending.
It's a very smooth and enjoyable read, with excellent descriptions of the details involved in making delicious food. However, it's too short, and the ending feels rushed. There's still a lot to be explained about the other three princesses besides Princess Mingyue. The Empress Dowager, who was so powerful in the court... The princess and the young marquis, who were featured prominently in the early chapters, were never mentioned again later. Let the birds eat first.
The story begins with a death row inmate who gains longevity through cooking, setting the stage for a fantastic start. The cases are intricate and suspenseful, and the female lead's unexpected charm is truly captivating. 🥰 It's getting less and less interesting to watch. It's like an AI sequel, the plot is getting more and more clichéd, like watching a martial arts movie, utterly boring.
Not bad. You can take a look.
Some plot points are illogical, and some descriptions are exaggerated, making them a bit awkward to watch. However, if you watch it without thinking too much, the story is quite good and entertaining.
It's alright, but that Princess Mingyue is really annoying, and in the end, he still has to marry her. It would have been so much better to marry another princess, or a princess from one of the Western Regions.
It's so good, I'm mesmerized, I can't stop watching.
It's really pretty good 🥰
Yes, it's okay, but it's a bit short.
