    Highly recommended!!! The author's writing is superb!! All are completed works with happy endings! The female lead is an excellent cook, and there are many descriptions of cooking. The first book has a touch of humor. The male lead is a charming and somewhat roguish character. Both the male and female leads in the first book have rather tragic pasts, but fortunately, they overcome them together. The female lead's career grows bigger and bigger, from starting at the docks to her triumphant return to the capital. She encounters many difficulties along the way, but they are all resolved one by one.

    First, this is a newly discovered novel. It doesn't have many reviews, so the rating is low, but it's really good, especially the food. Second, it's already completed and available to read, with side stories currently being serialized. The female lead is single-mindedly focused on cooking and doesn't get involved in the apocalypse, but she manages to save the world through her food and gathering ingredients. Her employees are all robots, which are incredibly cute. Third, this is a heartwarming and sweet story without any melodramatic plot twists; it's just about cooking, running a restaurant, and raising children. Fourth, the romance is so-so, but the plot is good, and the food scenes are also well-written. Fifth, it made my mouth water while I was reading it; the main focus is on food, and the cultivation elements aren't extensive.
