[An adorable little Taotie × a scheming, sweet-talking Lingzhi spirit. A refreshing, sweet romance. The upcoming novel's blurb is at the end.]
Bai Tang accidentally transmigrates into a brainless cannon-fodder character in a feel-good xianxia novel. Later in the story, the original Bai Tang will suffer a cultivation backlash after practicing a secret technique and die when the heroine pierces her heart with a single sword strike. Just as Bai Tang arrives, the leader of the Hehuan Sect is urging her to seduce the male lead and improve her cultivation. This is exactly how cannon-fodder Bai Tang's tragedy begins.
Hearing the cheerful notification of a dessert System suddenly ring in her ears, Bai Tang refuses the sect leader with righteous conviction.
Forget cultivating immortality! She wants to make desserts!

"To make delicious rainbow ice cream bread, you need to train on the Heavenly Lotus Snow Mountain and comprehend an ice-element spiritual root."
"The soul of a strawberry cream cake lies in the cream's soft, delicate texture. Host, please increase your spiritual power and transform milk into whipped cream."
"Mango pomelo sago must be made with giant mangoes grown in the Mysterious Rainforest. Host, please evade the monsters in the forest and successfully pick a giant mango!"
To make desserts worthy of the ages, Bai Tang becomes a god through tears.
And so...
When the outstanding disciples of the various sects are chased by the Azure Spirit Beast King, running for their lives, Bai Tang flicks a finger. The Beast King immediately clutches its face in pain and spins around on the spot.
The disciples: "Whoa! What secret technique is that?"
Bai Tang grins. "Lotus seed mochi. It's really sticky~"
The ancient Demon Venerable returns from the dead in another body and laughs triumphantly at the sky. Bai Tang pulls something from behind her and lands a blow to the head, leaving the Demon Venerable seeing stars.
Everyone: "Damn! What kind of weapon is that?"
Bai Tang lowers her weapon and sneers. "A dried baguette, specially made to deal with big idiots."
From then on, the world gains a new legend: the God of Desserts.

Gu Xiangduo is a once-in-a-generation prodigy of the Tianyan Sect, but after being sabotaged, he not only becomes expressionless, but also finds himself unable to advance his cultivation. Only the desserts made by Bai Tang, a food cultivator of the Hehuan Sect, can help him improve a little.
So his master packs him up and sends him to the Hehuan Sect overnight, where he becomes the sect's only male disciple.
Life as a kept man is so happy that Gu Xiangduo tosses aside all his sword manuals and studies the Hehuan Sect's secret techniques by lamplight, all to keep his senior sister's fickle heart firmly tied to him.
Reading Guide:
An optimistic, energetic dessert-making cultivator × a cold on the outside, warm on the inside, expressionless sword cultivator. (Little Gu can handle the Hehuan Sect stuff, and little Bai Tang can handle the desserts. Everyone has their own job~)
His expressionless face is only temporary. He'll be cured!
Cultivation stages: Body Tempering - Foundation Building - Core Formation - Golden Core (Nascent Soul Transformation) - Nascent Soul - Deity Transformation - Void Returning
Most of the worldbuilding is based on Zhihu's Space Cultivation.

The Beloved Daily Life of a Mukbang Little Taotie
A food blogger called "Xiao Tao Tie Tie" goes viral overnight.
Xinjiang fried rice noodles, Beijing braised offal rolls, Yanji cold noodles, Northeast barbecue, Liuzhou river-snail rice noodles...
All kinds of delicious food take on a whole new life in her videos. Her adorable looks, refined table manners, and astonishing appetite also win her a huge following.
Having won the love of human children, the little Taotie blinks her eyes. "Mukbang videos are so much fun!"

Why does Bai Ze, the famous aloof professor at University A, always have cheerful laughter coming from his office?
Why does the decisive, domineering CEO of Pixiu Co. always spend lavishly during her late-night livestreams?
Why does Captain Qiongqi, the pride of the police force, always carry a good-luck charm shaped like a little Taotie?
The three smile. "You wouldn't understand the joy of raising a little one."

Xiao Tao, who has a million followers, is tricked into joining a variety show by the director's promise of "all expenses paid meals."
And so, what should have been a perfectly ordinary challenge-based reality show becomes Xiao Tao's beloved daily life.
The Grand Slam-winning actress smiles and pinches Xiao Tao's cheek. "I'll definitely win this round and get you Peking duck, okay?"
The stern, old-fashioned singer secretly brings a huge bag of candy to every show to give to Xiao Tao.
The director, who says he respects the rules even as he does the opposite, secretly asks someone to buy Xiao Tao the shrimp dumplings she didn't get to eat.
*
Viewers notice that Xiao Tao gets along with everyone, but turns timid and huddles up whenever she sees the popular star Ye Linzhi.
Ye Linzhi smiles gently, though he can't hide his disappointment. "I don't know either. She used to cry and make a fuss every day, saying she wanted to marry me."
Xiao Tao looks aggrieved. "Brother Linzhi smells so good, I can't help wanting to eat him."
The day after this interview airs,
#Ye Linzhi Xiao Tao# shoots straight to the top of the trending topics.
An adorable little Taotie × a scheming, sweet-talking Lingzhi spirit
Theme: The most important thing in life is to be happy.
Is the male protagonist's senior brother's guide written for girls?
Hahahaha, I tried to use scientific explanation but was blocked by metaphysics.
Wuwuwuwu, how could Xueer be so miserable? She has always been a child.
Gu: What a coincidence. If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come.
The reputation of Hehuan Sect is about to be harmed in another form
Kissed!! Rounding it all off is getting married!
Hahahahahahahahaha, the male protagonist still has times like this.
Contactless gas transfer? With this progress, when will the innocent junior brother evolve to the point where he can seduce his senior sister and practice dual cultivation? Hahahahahaha
Emmm, it's harmful. Dead bugs are not cute at all. Hurry up and get your lunch box. It's unappetizing.
Woo woo woo, can you give Xue'er a chance to be reborn? Anyway, it's in the almighty world of cultivating immortals.
