I Follow the Plot in a Dog-Blood Novel Through Food

Ting Wu was the greatest chef in a famous food novel. She started practicing knife skills at three, learned flour-based cooking at five, and set up a food stall at seven that caused traffic gridlock. By the time she was nine, no one in the world could resist the question, "Want some?"

Ting Wu, lonely at the top, transmigrated into a melodramatic interstellar novel and discovered that she'd become its sweet and delicate female lead.

According to the plot, the female lead had a seductive natural fragrance. First, she would spark a drunken romance with her gaming-pro roommate. Then she'd slip in the library and fall into the arms of the handsome top student. On a camping trip in the mountains, she'd end up in the same tent as a wild, wolfish young man. When she bought milk tea, the handsome guy she ran into would turn out to be a rich second-generation heir trying out ordinary life, and spilling tea on him would bring their fates together...

The female lead couldn't resist. She endured it all through tears, and eventually lived a life where handsome men waited on her hand and foot.

Ting Wu looked at the female lead's happy and very satisfying life and pondered for a moment. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad?

Oblivious Ting Wu didn't realize that she hadn't become the female lead of the melodramatic novel, but her evil twin sister.

The younger sister had tricked the female lead into returning to their hometown, then disguised herself as her and secretly moved into the apartment she'd rented, becoming roommates with Shen Manhan, a top-tier esports player.

After repeatedly failing to win Shen Manhan over, the younger sister bought the requisite drug for a melodramatic novel and invited Shen Manhan to drink with her late at night, hoping to take advantage of the situation.

But she didn't know Shen Manhan was livestreaming, with millions of viewers watching her act coy and make a complete fool of herself.

In the end, her reputation was in tatters.

Newly arrived Ting Wu had no idea what her fate was supposed to be.

She glanced at the two glasses of wine on the table, thought it was awkward to sit there with her future boyfriend, and stood up.

"I'll go fry up a couple of dishes to go with the drinks."

Much later, countless viewers rewatched the recording of that late-night drinking session, filled with regret.

[Back then, everyone envied Ting Shen because she got to eat with Shen Manhan. Now everyone envies Shen Manhan because he gets to eat with Ting Shen...]

[I'm dying. I'm an heir to an entire planet, and even I can't get a number from Ting Shen.]

[Shen Manhan can actually finish three whole dishes, three dishes Ting Shen cooked herself!]

[Ting Shen, don't wash the dishes. Let me lick them clean!]

[You jerk Shen Manhan, why did you turn on shared smell but not shared taste!!!]

Ting Wu: The plot seems a little different... but maybe it's not that different after all?

#No natural fragrance? The aroma of food works too#

Reader's guide:

1. The female lead is a lazy, silly beauty. She's six-sevenths socially inept, and put all her skill points into cooking.

2. The female lead's cooking is wildly unrealistic. Think Chinese Little Chef.

3. I'll add the male lead to the blurb once I've decided.

4. To be continued.
