I Really Just Want to Cook

My new novel, I’m the Male Lead in a Fanfic, is complete and being saved up before release. If you’re a little angel who likes pure campus romance, come take a look~

Synopsis:

The General Dingyuan is a famous golden bachelor in the capital. Whenever a lovestruck girl brings him up, her face turns shy and rosy.

With such a popular son, you’d think Jian Yue’s parents would be delighted. Instead, they’re worrying themselves gray.

Their son is already this old. How come he still hasn’t figured out that sort of thing?

Madam Jian’s eyes shifted. She tricked Jian Yue into going to the grand matchmaking banquet already arranged at the imperial palace.

Watching her son return beneath the cover of night, Madam Jian asked eagerly, “How was the banquet?”

Jian Yue: “Not bad.”

Madam Jian: “Which one was not bad? Which family’s daughter was she? I’ll go ask for her hand tomorrow.”

Jian Yue smacked his lips. “The food was pretty good.”

Madam Jian: “...”

Who was Cai? Which young lady in the capital had the surname Cai?

If he can’t marry one of those gentle young ladies from a prestigious family, am I supposed to find a cook for my son?

Cen Ying returned from cooking in the palace looking quite pleased. At least she could now say she’d cooked in the imperial kitchens.

Who could have guessed that just a few days later, rumors would spread through the city that Princess Changhuan was in love with General Dingyuan and had personally cooked him a dish?

Prince Qing hesitated for a long while before asking, “Daughter, tell me honestly. Have you really taken a fancy to that boy from the Jian family?”

Cen Ying was close to tears. “Dad, I really just wanted to cook a dish...”

Synopsis for the new novel, I’m the Male Lead in a Fanfic:

Ji Xiaohuai wasn’t watching where he was going, and transmigrated.

He became a background character in a campus romance novel he’d only read two or three chapters of.

A boy in his class lamented, “The school beauty and the top student are both in our class. Looks like the rest of us don’t stand a chance.”

Ji Xiaohuai scoffed. “Have you got no ambition? Even if I can’t steal the top student’s love interest, I’ll become someone who can outshine him!”

Later, he became the top student’s love interest, and the one getting pinned down by him.

Classmate: “...Now that’s ambition.”

Ji Xiaohuai: Don’t say another word. I’m the one involved, and I regret it. I really regret it.

Ji Xiaohuai, determined to knock the top student off his pedestal, only wants to study hard.

But after a few days at school...

Why does the school beauty look at me so kindly?

Why is the top student always wandering around in front of me?

Watching the male and female leads orbit around him, Ji Xiaohuai is utterly baffled:

Wasn’t I supposed to be in a romance novel???

Extra scene:

After the first exam

“Tell us! Where did you steal those answers?”

Ji Xiaohuai looks confused and innocent. “...I wrote them myself!”

“Bullshit! It’s all calculus. Who taught you that?!”

Ye Zhe says calmly from the side,

“I did. Is that a problem?”

P.S. 1. Only gets frisky with the love interest. Cool, aloof top student seme x sunny, carefree uke.

2. One-on-one, happy ending, sweet, sweet, sweet, doted on, doted on, doted on.

3. The school beauty won’t have a romantic entanglement with anyone. She’s just a girl who loves shipping couples.
