I Have a Little Restaurant

After graduating from college, Xie Tiaotiao received a will from her long-missing father, requiring her to inherit the dilapidated little restaurant in her hometown.

A remote, desolate village, run-down mud houses, and neighbors with bizarre appearances.

At first, Xie Tiaotiao didn’t want to go.

But then...

A white radish that grew to weigh three hundred jin overnight;

A tomato spirit that could stir-fry itself;

Water from an ancient well, thousands of years old, that could cure chronic illnesses and bring the dead back to life.

And also...

Sweet potato soup that could make people forget all their worries, shrimp and spinach soup that granted superhuman strength, fruit salad that created wonderful dreams, and stir-fried meat from all kinds of mythical beasts, each with its own special effect...

Xie Tiaotiao: This is delicious!

Let me recommend my upcoming novel, The Taoist Temple in the Mountains Has Gained Sentience.

Blurb:

In the age of declining magic, with incense offerings dwindling, Yuan Manyue, a Taoist temple that had gained sentience, had to descend from the mountain and gather the power of faith in order to overcome her tribulation and ascend to immortality.

But her incense offerings were depleted and she had lost all her magic, so she had no choice but to return to her old trade: fortune-telling.

At first, everyone thought she was a lazy fraud because she was young and beautiful. But then...

“Your nanny is a child trafficker. She left your home with your daughter ten minutes ago.”

An hour later, the trafficker carrying the baby was stopped on a long-distance bus.

“Your daughter’s fiancé is legally married to her best friend. They’re working together to scam her.”

Three months later, a man and a woman were charged with fraud and attempted murder.

“You want to know where your father, who ran off with someone, is now? He didn’t run off. He’s right there in your family’s homestead.”

A year later, a murder case stemming from a family inheritance dispute came to a formal verdict. The story of a brother and sister who had spent twenty years fighting for justice for their father went viral on social media.

Years passed. With her accumulated merit, Yuan Manyue successfully ascended to immortality.
