[Career]

When the apocalypse comes and her family is brutally killed, the once-spoiled Shen Qian has to survive by scavenging garbage. It's hard to find anything worth eating, and as she starves, she can't stop thinking about the taste of crawfish.

When she opens her eyes again, a giant creature is prodding her with its tentacles. Shen Qian is stunned: Isn't this unusual little thing a crawfish!

[Ding! Food System bound! Host can turn their life around by cooking and consuming delicious food!]

[First mission: Turn the giant crawfish into spicy crawfish to earn 100 star coins!]

Shen Qian immediately summons a mech to take down the crawfish, sets up a pot on the spot, and cooks it, earning the first pot of gold since being reborn.

Later, Shen Qian finds a new way to make money. Food is scarce in the interstellar world, so she opens a restaurant.

At first, the citizens of the interstellar world ask, "Can you eat this stuff?"

Later, they say, "It's so good!"

The restaurant becomes a hit, with interstellar citizens flocking in to eat. Shen Qian quickly climbs the Interstellar Forbes list.

Mu Beiqing, the interstellar chief executive, comes to her restaurant after hearing about it.

Mu Beiqing: "I'll offer you a salary of a million a year to be my personal chef, Boss Shen."

Shen Qian avoids him. "Sorry, I only want to serve the public." (Running my own restaurant leaves more room to grow.)

[Romance]

Recently, Shen Qian, the famous gourmet chef, has become a sensation in the Xingyao Empire. Suitors keep coming, but she seems to care only about her culinary career.

Then one day, a paparazzo photographs chief executive Mu Beiqing in the underground slums, carrying a huge sack on his back as he holds hands and chats with Shen Qian.

[Shocking! Boss Shen is taken! Her partner is the chief executive!]

After learning the truth, Shen Qian says, "What, you were scavenging garbage to get by? You couldn't afford food? Was it fun to lie to me?"

Mu Beiqing: "Qianqian, I'll give you all my money. Please don't ignore me."

The next second, Shen Qian receives a System notification: [Congratulations, Host. You are now the richest person in the interstellar world!]

[Survive by Kissing After Reincarnating as the Villainess]

After waking up, Xu Ruyi finds herself as the villainess in an old-school tragic romance. She's from a wealthy family, beautiful, and her blood has miraculous detoxifying properties. Unfortunately, she's blind to the truth and can only serve as a plot device to keep the male and female leads apart:

She diligently stirs up trouble, drugs the villainous big shot with an aphrodisiac, and even sends the heroine to his bed. In the end, one of the big shot's underlings kills her with a single kick.

When she arrives, she's pinned beneath someone's foot. Behind her is an unfathomably high cliff, and the villainous big shot stands with his back to her, not even looking her way. His voice trembles slightly as he says, "Get rid of her."

Xu Ruyi shouts, "Wait! I have an antidote!"

-

Shi Huan has long heard that the pampered young lady of the Xu family is using every means to pursue the second young master of the Zhang family, even though he's already in love with someone else.

But he never expected this young lady to turn her sights on him. The Xu family's medicine-making skills are second to none, and their aphrodisiac is colorless and odorless. It really did the trick on him.

He has never cared for beautiful women, but when Xu Ruyi kissed him, he was bewitched.

Later, the beauty curls up in a corner, her eyes blurred with tears. "I really did cure your poison!"

Shi Huan: "It didn't work. How are you supposed to cure this aphrodisiac?"

The beauty's voice trembles. "Kiss... no, just drink some of my blood."

Shi Huan leans in and taps his lips. "Here."

Xu Ruyi is close to tears. Why did I have to go and bite my tongue so I could transfer the blood mouth to mouth?

Couple: Demon King x sweet little darling

Both leads are virgins

Theme: Spread kindness and warmth throughout the world
