Reborn as a Master Chef

Lu Jian lay on the operating table and looked back on his life.

What a huge joke!

He should have been the pampered young master of the Lu family, but he was switched at birth and raised by another family. By the time he was reunited with his biological parents at eight, there was no place left for him at home.

He treated the adopted son who had taken his place with genuine sincerity, only to be set up and have both his legs broken. He would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Longing for family affection, he carefully tried to please his biological parents, but one day he heard his mother say with his own ears that raising a child was better than giving birth to one. It broke his heart.

Lu Jian thought that if he had another chance, he would never return to the Lu family...

When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn in the tenth year after returning to the Lu family, and bound to a chatty gourmet-learning System!

Lu Jian sneered: You expect him to play the saintly cannon fodder again? Not a chance!

So...

His biological parents: If you don't behave, we'll cut off your allowance!

Lu Jian: Unlocked the basic cooking skill!

The adopted son: Leave the Lu family. I don't believe you'll amount to anything!

Lu Jian: Earned the approval of a renowned mentor!

The other members of the Lu family, watching for a laugh: Do you think there's something wrong with Lu Jian? A chef? What a ridiculous idea!

Lu Jian: Getting ready to open my first restaurant!

Whatever. He doesn't want to care what other people think anymore. This time, he's going to live for himself.

One day, he signed up for a variety show called Star Chef.

After filming wrapped, a certain movie emperor, known in the industry for his cold demeanor, started shamelessly showing up in front of him to get his attention

Lu Jian, out of patience: What do you want?

The extremely picky Bai Wen: I like your cooking!

Lu Jian: ...

Much later, entertainment magazines repeatedly photographed Lu Jian and Bai Wen appearing together at the supermarket.

The CP fans burst into tears: Seeing really is believing!

Lu Jian: ...No! There's nothing going on! It's a misunderstanding!

Bai Wen: Heh.
