Xia Youqing transmigrated into a world with scarce plant resources.
But as a descendant of the Wood God, he had no reason to worry about the lack of plants.
Xia Youqing: With such a cliched setup and coincidence, did I transmigrate into a book? And am I the protagonist?!
But he soon discovered that he was a useless nobody despised by the entire empire, including his fiance, the empire's general Ling Xun.
Meanwhile, his talented younger cousin won over the whole empire with his cooking. His livestream's tip leaderboard was packed with prominent figures from all walks of life, including Ling Xun.
Xia Youqing: Right, it's a novel where readers bet on the love interests, and I'm the villainous supporting character. How exciting.
Natural ingredients were expensive. To win his younger cousin's favor, all the big shots sent him ingredients they'd scoured for at exorbitant prices.
Using his gift, Xia Youqing soon became a supplier of premium ingredients.
Based on his younger cousin's tip leaderboard, he split his ingredients into four equal shares and sold them to four big shots, including Ling Xun.
Xia Youqing, keeping a low profile after his success: It can't be called a love-interest betting novel without a love rivalry.
He gave Ling Xun the leftover crooked and misshapen produce for free, hoping to make up for the favorability score that had already fallen below zero.
One day, the empire's four big shots each bought a batch of fresh, juicy tomatoes from a mysterious seller.
His younger cousin looked at the three bags of tomatoes on the table and frowned worriedly. It was supposed to be Ling Xun's turn to receive ingredients today, but his tomatoes hadn't arrived.
Ling Xun thought Xia Youqing had been behaving well lately. He'd even sent him a bag of precious apples, so Ling Xun decided to treat him a little better.
He carried the expensive tomatoes he'd bought to Xia Youqing's house.
As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Xia Youqing yelling at a familiar livestream:
"Come on, come on, hurry up! Get them fighting! This is so exciting! Damn, where's Ling Xun? Why isn't he here today?! I bought General stock! Ahhh!"

[Reader's Guide]
He hasn't transmigrated into a book. It's all in the protagonist's imagination.
There are tons and tons of original settings!
It's not a love-interest betting novel, and the protagonist isn't everyone's favorite.
A silly, sweet little treat. Don't read if it's not your thing, and please don't give me writing advice!
