“Baby, my investment failed, and I'm short 500,000 yuan.”
When Jiang Ran sent that message along with a photo of his abs at the gym, Shen Muqing, Jiang City's most famous professor of psychology, transferred the money without hesitation.
She had no idea that the person on the other end of the internet was a grubby middle-aged man using an AI voice changer.
Meanwhile, the real Jiang Ran, whose photo had been stolen, was wearing an apron spattered with oil as he simmered stock in a shabby restaurant in Qingyi Alley.
The truth came to light when the fraud ring was arrested.
Following the clues, the victims' alliance stormed Jiang Ran's rundown restaurant.
Faced with a room full of gorgeous women denouncing him as a “scumbag,” Jiang Ran sighed and turned up the burner.
“The internet is too murky. The only real thing is the food in this pot.”
He served bowl after bowl of steaming, soul-stirring Yangchun noodles, successfully silencing every woman.
From then on, the shabby late-night diner became the victims' private place to heal.
A haughty biker girl competed to carry the dishes, while a shy, adorable girl helped with the books.
And Professor Shen, cool and intellectual, tried to analyze Jiang Ran with psychology, only to find herself completely falling for the gentle comforts of everyday life.
