[Honghuang] A Butcher's Knife From the Start

Jiang Yao: I transmigrated into the primordial world, where gods and demons are locked in battle all around me. As an ordinary mortal, all I can do is hide at home and diligently run my restaurant, quietly waiting for customers. I don't dare take a single step outside. The primordial world is so vast, yet I'm stuck in my restaurant, hiding away for hundreds of thousands of years, like a giant tortoise.

The first customer to enter eats a steaming bowl of instant noodles with isatis root, goes completely mad, grabs the ax by the wall, and shouts, “I want to create the world! I want to Prove Dao by Force!”

The second customer eats a bowl of spicy braised barbecue skewers, and sparks keep flying from her mouth. She breathes flames until half the primordial world turns into a crematorium...

Jiang Yao is a food lover devoted to becoming a master chef, but unfortunately, she has little talent.

A lighthearted, silly food story. Please don't take it too seriously!

Please add my upcoming novel to your reading list: My Dad Fell from the Sky

After the real daughter returns, her adoptive father says he'll still treat Jian Mo like family and keep her by his side.

Jian Mo: So, am I your child bride? Thanks, but no...

Adoptive father: We're a family of paupers. Just wait until you find out how hard life can be.

Her new home is completely bare.

Bio dad: Your old man's useless. I'm getting on in years and still just sweep the streets. But don't worry, sweetheart. I make money to support the family by picking up trash.

Bio mom: Sweetheart, I'm just a cook. I've spent most of my life cooking in the work cafeteria.

Jian Mo, holding tens of millions: Why don't you quit your jobs? I'll support this family.

Bio parents: Sure.

Her bio dad looks dejected. “Sweetheart, the Jade Emperor won't let me quit. I'm the only cleaner in Heaven. Without me, the whole place would turn into a garbage dump.”

Her bio mom: “The King of Hell wouldn't approve either. All the little ghosts are waiting to drink Granny Meng's soup and be reincarnated. He says he can't manage without me.”

Jian Mo: “Wow, you two are really good at humblebragging...”

After awakening the powerful unlucky-star genes inherited from her dad, Jian Mo's bad luck starts piling up.

One day, her dad brings home a dog. “Sweetheart, this is the Howling Celestial Dog. It carries the purple aura of the True Lord Erlang. If you cuddle and sleep with it for three months, all your bad luck will disappear.”

One day, her mom looks at the red iron chain Jian Mo is holding and gives her a complicated look.

Granny Meng: “Actually, your dad used to be the Matchmaker.”

Jian Mo: “What?”

Granny Meng: “Your dad's an idiot who lets dogs into the house.”

Upcoming novel: I Have a CEO Aura on a Dating Show

Qian Qian gets a CEO System from out of nowhere. The System tells her to join a dating reality show to raise her profile.

Producer: How many relationships have you had?

Qian Qian: Zero...

Producer: Sorry, this is a dating reality show where you join with your exes.

Qian Qian: This single dog just took ten thousand points of damage.

A day later, Qian Qian signs up for the show with a freshly minted “one-night-stand” ex-boyfriend.

The day before: Qian Qian spends a fortune to take a man to a hotel so they can get to know each other in depth. (They spend the whole day and night memorizing each other's personal details.)

First day in the house.

Under the influence of Qian Qian's CEO aura, the female contestants all accidentally send her messages.

The male contestants across from them stare at one another all night, waiting in vain for a message.

The production team changes the rules overnight: contestants can only message someone of the opposite sex.

Female contestants: “No, we only want to message Qian Qian.”

The next day.

Qian Qian drags all the male contestants into the gym. That night, they immediately send her messages.

Qian Qian: “I'm a message magnet.”

Male contestants: “No, we don't want to message you at all.”

The male contestants complain to the production team about Qian Qian's behavior overnight.

Qian Qian: “Men, you've successfully caught my attention.”
