    Food-themed healing + card-collecting sprite raising + farming management + no romance. Reborn in the interstellar era, renowned chef Su Miaomiao is burdened with enormous debt, guarding a desolate, abandoned planet. Until she activates her ancestral bracelet—a spiritual spring irrigating the barren land, the ancient Earth's seed bank reappears, and unexpectedly, she is bound to a food card system. Every dish that brings happiness generates a unique card, randomly dropping seeds, interstellar coins, and rare ingredients... As the space upgrades, even more magical creations are born—round, plump berry sprites hum songs while watering the orchard, soft, fluffy bread sprites crawl into the oven to control the heat. They replicate dishes, purify pollution, and assist in cooking. From then on, Su Miaomiao's interstellar restaurant becomes a hit, and her food cards sweep the universe. Major powers offer sky-high contracts for cooperation, and food lovers cross galaxies to check in. Only Su Miaomiao calmly holds the newly born sprite in her arms, looking at the walls full of glittering food cards.
