The Butcher’s Little Chef

Bai Ning had struggled to survive in the apocalypse for years. Then he lost a mission, and just when he thought he was about to die, he transmigrated to ancient times. Ancient times were great. No zombies to fight, and no stomachs rumbling with hunger. Bai Ning thought this transmigration had worked out wonderfully, especially since the little guy he'd raised for years had transmigrated with him. Nothing could be better. And then there was the butcher next door, with broad shoulders and a slim waist. He looked like he could really deliver. I recommend the author's other novel, Growing Crops in Ancient Times, about discovering agriculture after transmigrating to ancient times. This story is a slow burn. Quite a bit has been written, and it may be updated later. I recommend my friend's danmei novel, Record of Cultivating Spirits in the Demon Realm, by Feng Yue Jiutian! One-line summary: My nemesis and I ended up with a happy ending! Blurb: In the Eighteenth Layer of Hell, there is a kind of being that can never take human form, no matter how many tens of thousands of years it cultivates. They are called spirit cultivators, survive by consuming souls, and are classed among the ghosts. When Wujiu awoke from cultivation in the Infernal Prison, he was already the Ghost King, the first spirit cultivator to take human form. He had mastered the Ghost Eye, which let him see the six paths of reincarnation. He saw his own future: ten years later, a young immortal cultivator named Min Chengyi would kill him by detonating his spiritual power. So Wujiu infiltrated an immortal cultivation sect, disguised himself as a divine historian, and tricked the boy into going to the Demon Realm. He called it training, but was really trying to make him fall to the demonic path. To his surprise, the boy made it out alive, holding a Zhu Luo Fruit that countless cultivators had dreamed of picking but never could. He smiled at Wujiu with guileless innocence. "Wujiu, I promised you that I'd help you get whatever you wanted." Wujiu: ... The bottom is single-mindedly trying to kill you, but the top can think of nothing but cultivating together with him. Theme: Work hard and strive for a better life.
