   This is a must-read for any food-themed novel, but it's not purely a food story. The female lead has no romantic partner; her husband dies shortly after she transmigrates, and she relies on her culinary skills to rise from the countryside to the capital, even raising a younger brother-in-law who becomes a top scholar. She raises her sister-in-law, facing awful relatives and malicious villagers, but the clever and resourceful female lead never lets them get away with it. It's incredibly satisfying to see her deal with the villains. After leaving, the annoying relatives disappear. Later, in the capital, she remains cautious and prudent, eventually gaining the backing of the Crown Prince and becoming a princess. The entire story is well-structured, but there are no plot-driven moments, and the younger brother-in-law never overshadows the female lead. It's still a very enjoyable read!

   A food-themed novel with a film/TV drama backdrop. The protagonist has impeccable morals and runs a small shop in a remote area. Some astute individuals recognize his unparalleled culinary skills and flock to his shop to speculate on land and real estate. The protagonist's shop only sells food he makes himself, so demand always exceeds supply. He pursues culinary perfection, and some dishes, incorporating the spirit of historical figures like Su Dongpo and Lu Xun, possess special, almost supernatural effects. The writing style is simple yet sharp, avoiding filler content, with an engaging plot and logical deductions.

    Although it's about bookstores, the food, descriptions, and portrayals are all very distinctive, and they're combined with contemporary literature. Most importantly, the best part is actually the characters. They are all very unique, and their personalities are vividly portrayed. The literary figures each have their own distinct styles and spirits. The story is full of the warmth and everyday life of ordinary people.
