Lin Mo's Path to Becoming the God of Food

In the bustling modern metropolis of Haishi lies a hidden culinary world unknown to outsiders. The traditions of the ancient Eight Great Cuisines are more than just cooking techniques: they conceal secret recipes and resources powerful enough to overturn the modern dining scene. The protagonist, Lin Mo, is the last heir to Lin Family Private Kitchen, a century-old restaurant. At a five-star hotel, he is a lowly kitchen worker, bullied by his superiors and ostracized by his coworkers, left with nothing to do but quietly prep ingredients. He remembers his grandfather’s dying wish and vows to protect the family’s nearly lost secret art, the Eight Treasures of the Imperial Kitchen. But when he refuses to sell the recipes to Zhao Tianhao, the hotel’s executive chef, who has coveted them for a long time, Zhao frames him for stealing ingredients and has him fired. Lin Mo’s career hits rock bottom.
