The divorce contract between gods and mortals can cut off not only the marriage, but also the last trace of fireworks in the world.
Seven years ago, the Kitchen God Lu Jin signed a divorce agreement, gave up his godhead, and disappeared from the top of the clouds. Su Zao Niang guarded Leng Zao and the yellowed contract, waiting for someone who would never come back.
Seven years later, seventy-two city stoves went out simultaneously. A child named Dou Ya'er picked up an unburned fire from the stove ashes - she could laugh, get hungry, and swallow the stove fire in her dreams, but she never spoke.
Baiwu stood in the clouds and ordered "Clean the stove". He said that emotions are pollution, tears are disease, and God should not have a heartbeat.
But Su Zao Niang remembered: Lu Jin panicked the first time he cooked and added too much salt to the porridge. She cried after drinking it and said - "It's so salty, but warm."
That was the first lie in the world and the first tear of the Kitchen God.
Today, seventy-two empty stoves are waiting for someone to come back and light a fire. And that child is the final living testimony of the contract.
