Wu Wan, the heir apparent to the title of the world's greatest chef, falls asleep and wakes up inside the cultivation novel she's reading. She's transmigrated into Wu Wan, the cultivation world's brilliant prodigy, a senior disciple famed as an ice beauty for practicing the Heartless Dao.
In this age of spiritual decline, no one has ascended to godhood for ages. When Wu Wan was born, she triggered celestial phenomena, and ever since then, all three realms have pinned their hopes on her becoming the first true god in ten thousand years.
The story has reached the moment just before the Foundation Establishment disciples step onto the Myriad Stars Platform to summon their bonded artifacts.
The most anticipated senior disciple, Wu Wan, is about to summon the divine-grade Fierce Cold Bow. Her delicate hand closes around it, her fingers white as jade seeming to blend seamlessly with the divine weapon. She draws the bowstring until it forms a full moon. Even the sunlight dims, and ice covers a hundred-li radius. Wu Wan actually forms her Golden Core right there on the platform! The elders...
A moment later, Wu Wan steps onto the Myriad Stars Platform with a tense expression and summons a huge iron wok, black from top to bottom.
She thinks, "Well, would you look at that." This Myriad Stars Platform has some real tricks.

The supporting character Wu Wan has the crucial roles of tool character and foil. With her maxed-out build, she provides all the satisfying plot beats: first, she becomes the female lead's idol; in the middle, she repeatedly picks fights with the female lead and helps her advance; then she loses faith in the Heartless Dao and falls for the male lead; finally, she comes to her senses and sacrifices herself to complete the Heavenly Dao, helping the male and female leads ascend to godhood.
Wu Wan has to admit, it was really satisfying to read.
If only she weren't the one it was happening to.
But Wu Wan doesn't want to steal the original female lead's man, and she doesn't want to work hard at practicing the Heartless Dao. Besides...
Her bonded artifact is a huge iron wok!
The huge iron wok has no rank or grade. Wu Wan, senior disciple of the world's greatest chef, returns to her old trade. She spends her days in the little courtyard, stir-frying side dishes in her wok, sipping wine, and feeding her senior and junior fellow disciples...
Her junior disciples pretend to care while actually mocking her, so she stuffs each of them with a hot, freshly fried Erduoyan dough cake, shutting their unkind mouths.
The crust is crisp and fragrant, the filling tender and soft, with a lingering sweetness. They gulp the cakes down, and every one of them advances a level?
The junior disciples, who hadn't advanced in years: ???
Wu Wan: ???
Wu Wan: !!!
The next person slated to "ascend to godhood," Wu Wan, has a bonded artifact that's a rankless, gradeless iron wok, making her the laughingstock of the three realms. Even the Tianyan Sect, which still treasures the useless Wu Wan, doesn't escape ridicule. Everyone assumes the ice beauty Wu Wan will hide away on her peak to wash vegetables and cook. But then they see:
During the illusion trial, Wu Wan charges at the front of the disciples from every sect, her wok on her back, and gathers every last spirit herb deep within the illusion.
In the Ten Perilous Lands of the Demon Realm, Wu Wan rushes in with a knife, taking down one enemy after another. Her junior disciples follow behind, expertly packing them up to serve as laborers.
In the chaos of the Demon Realm, several factions are locked in fierce battle. Wu Wan calmly heats oil in her wok...
The three realms: ???
Wu Wan and everyone from the Tianyan Sect: Burp~
