Chen Yuan scrimped and saved for four years, running a small restaurant in the county town so his girlfriend could finish college.
But after graduating, she turned around and got together with a rich second-generation heir, mocking Chen Yuan in public for being covered in cooking fumes and utterly unworthy of her.
The neighbors all laughed at him for being a lovesick doormat, and he endured nothing but scorn.
Unable to bear the humiliation, the original owner drank heavily every day and eventually drank himself to death.
When he opens his eyes again, a chef god from another world has transmigrated into him, and he gains the [Eternal Chef God System]!
In his hands, ordinary ingredients from the market become peerless delicacies.
The aroma of his pot of red-braised pork fills the whole old street, and one bite is enough to bring diners to tears!
His unfaithful ex-girlfriend returns to town with her rich new boyfriend to flaunt her success, then comes by again to mock him.
Chen Yuan serves them several dishes.
One bite, and their souls are captivated! They both lose their composure on the spot!
He reveals everything he sacrificed over those four years in front of everyone. His once-arrogant girlfriend loses all face and becomes the laughingstock of the town.
His little restaurant goes from nearly going out of business to becoming the city's most popular internet-famous eatery, with lines out the door.
His ex-girlfriend breaks down in regret and begs him to take her back, even lowering herself to her knees.
Chen Yuan gives a faint smile. When I was down and out, you tossed me aside like trash. Now that I've risen to the top, you're not worthy of me.
With a pot and a spatula, he turns his life around! From a small county-town restaurant, he eats his way across the land and rises to the pinnacle of culinary mastery!
