[Probably a modern-day story about food, romance, farming, and leveling up.]
A naturally laid-back but goal-obsessed recipient with inherited cooking skills & a moody, capricious, shameless, smooth-talking scumbag of a pursuer
Cen Zui is great in every way, except for one thing: his obsession with reaching his goals.
When he was a student, people praised him and said he ought to come first in his class. He agreed, and nearly worked himself to death studying.
When he was acting, he actually wanted to retire halfway through, but he had once said he would win Best Actor... so he had no choice but to keep slogging away.
When he took up farming, he had only meant to come home and laze around for a few years. But he accidentally activated his family's ancestral golden finger. From the start, it had only one drop of spiritual water. The entire pond, along with the river beneath it, was dry.
Crops watered with spiritual water return their spiritual energy, which then condenses into more spiritual water...
Cen Zui tried planting an acre of land... and gained half a drop of spiritual water.
...Help.
My liver is already starting to ache.

Cen Zui had no choice but to take up planting vegetables, trees, and all kinds of greenery... Eventually, he planted the county's mountains, the banks of the Yellow River, and half a desert, becoming the "Earth's Green Ambassador."

Seeing a beautiful man in distress, Cen Zui thought of the fine medicinal herbs he had grown with spiritual water and impulsively promised, "I'll cure you!"
The scummy, green-tea pursuer keeps pretending he isn't cured!
