I Became a Master Chef on a Slow-Paced Variety Show

The star-studded guest lineup for the highly anticipated live-streamed slow-paced variety show Good Food at Qin's Restaurant has been announced! Popular actress Tan Mi, award-winning actor Yang Jingyan... But among the dazzling, high-profile cast, one name sticks out: Xia Nanyu. Xia Nanyu is a B-list actress who has been in the industry for ten years but has few notable works to her name. With her alluring looks and flamboyant behavior, however, she's always making tabloid headlines. Viewers are up in arms, strongly opposing her participation in the show, as they believe her status and reputation don't merit a spot. They're afraid she'll ruin the hidden gem of a variety show they love. But when the first episode goes live as scheduled, Xia Nanyu emerges from the kitchen with dish after dish that's a feast for the eyes and the palate. The comments fall completely silent. From stuffed tofu to silver-sprout rolls, no matter how difficult a dish is to recreate, nothing can stump Chef Xia. And when viewers see the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup that took three days to make, the whole country erupts with excitement. Viewer A: I've gained ten pounds since I started watching this show! Chef Xia, how are you going to make it up to me? Viewer B: With cooking skills like that, why would you ever dream of becoming an entertainer? Chef Xia, if you open a restaurant, I'll be your biggest fan! Meanwhile, Xia Nanyu clutches a gourd filled with Samadhi True Fire and a wok forged from Cold Mountain iron, content to keep her achievements under wraps. Xia Nanyu: Would you believe me if I told you I'm actually just an average cook? Tips: 1. The heroine is mainly focused on her career, so there will be very little romance. 2. Set in the near future, with cyberpunk and cultivation elements. The plot takes some wild turns [not]. Theme: Learn to appreciate every kind of beauty in life.
