   Here's a wave of ancient Chinese romance novels. The early episodes are generally heartwarming, focusing on family harmony and independence, with characters typically having stable careers and a certain reputation before developing romantic relationships. This is essentially a story without any special culinary advantages. 1- A food blogger transmigrates, bringing her mother and sister with her after their divorce. She sets up a food stall and opens a restaurant. She has a special advantage—a kind of spatial supermarket where things only go out and never come back. Her romantic partner is a constable from the county government who comes to her shop later. 2- A young chef transmigrates, disguising herself as a man to accompany her brother on his imperial examinations. Along the way, she befriends a chubby prince who becomes her future husband. Later, she follows her brother to the remote and uncivilized southern region to take up her post. Early on, she supports her family through food; later, she focuses on infrastructure development to support her village. 3- She transmigrates into the body of a poor scholar and landlord's daughter in a remote mountain village in Northeast China. Her family consists of honest, simple men, and she gets to work immediately. The story involves a prince traveling incognito to study, rescuing his third brother, and being injured, temporarily staying with him. Romance develops slowly but early. The story includes greenhouse vegetables, hot pot and barbecue, and incidentally rescuing a young man from the grasslands. The author's writing is excellent, a plus! 4- A chef transmigrates to the Eastern Depot's canteen, suddenly understanding animal language and able to communicate with all animals, practically turning the Eastern Depot's kitchen into a zoo. He spends his days eating and cooking in the factory; no romantic pairing. 5- A food blogger transmigrates into an orphan girl. After her soldier brother dies, the teenage girl is recommended by her neighbor to work in the military canteen. Her simple yet fresh and delicious dishes with limited ingredients attract the attention of a handsome young general; the romantic pairing is confirmed relatively quickly.
