Blurb:

Tang Yuming opened his eyes and discovered he'd transmigrated into a book.

In the story, he was a good-for-nothing who gambled and ran up debts. First, he angered his honest father to death, then abused the young protagonist. Later, to pay off his debts, he even sold the protagonist into a male brothel!

Tang Yuming: This is a textbook setup for a cannon-fodder character!

Sure enough, the protagonist later became the leader of the demonic sect, and the first thing he did upon returning was kill Tang Yuming.

When Tang Yuming transmigrated into the book, he had just beaten the protagonist to a pulp the night before. Now, sober again, he found himself staring into the protagonist's eyes.

"..."

Tang Yuming felt a chill run down his neck.

Luckily, the protagonist was still young and hadn't turned evil or become the leader of the demonic sect yet.

Looking at his obedient, harmless face, Tang Yuming thought he could still turn things around.

Relying on his cooking skills to win over the protagonist's stomach first, then save his own life, Tang Yuming pulled out all the stops.

But he never expected that although he would save his life, he would end up giving himself away.

The protagonist as a child: "Bro."

Tang Yuming: Just one "bro," and I'll be your good big brother for the rest of my life!

The protagonist as an adult: "Big brother."

Tang Yuming: Hey, I'm telling you, don't come any closer!

A few notes:

1v1, sweet story with mutual devotion

Scheming, possessive, beautiful gong x timid, gentle shou with great cooking skills

A slice-of-life food story, with a limited amount of plot

The gong and shou are not related by blood or law

Elementary-school writing, kindergarten logic. The whole story is set in a fictional world, and everything serves the food. Many ingredients are assumed to already exist, so don't worry too much about the details. The author has recently become obsessed with food stories.

All the dishes in the story are based on recipes, encyclopedias, local customs, and everyday experience. In theory, they can all be made, but success is not guaranteed.

Finally, I hope everyone enjoys reading.

Let's keep reading civil. There's no need to announce it if you drop the novel.

Here's the blurb:

Yan Huai is a Bai Ze.

After reform and opening up, demons were forbidden from cultivating into human form, so they went along with the times and began integrating into human society.

Nowadays, demons have all grown used to their human identities, and most are doing quite well.

There is just one problem: finding a partner is hard.

Because of their different lifestyles, the demons' single rate has been rising year after year.

Yan Huai saw an opportunity:

"I'm going to open a matchmaking agency."

The agency opened successfully, but the clients' requirements were all rather unusual.

Bi'an pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. "Ideally, they should be a lawyer or judge, someone who can uphold fairness and justice with me."

Yan Huai: "Sure."

Taotie rubbed his abs. "I want someone who likes staying at home. I can compromise on everything else, but they have to know how to cook. It's not much to ask, just seven or eight meals a day."

Yan Huai: "I'll see what I can do."

Kunpeng arrived, travel-worn, with his luggage in hand. "I love traveling and want a partner who can see the whole world with me. Oh, and they have to be able to fly through the sky and dive into the sea."

Yan Huai: "I'll... do my best."

Pixiu wore an old jacket he'd had for five years. "I have just two requirements. First, they must earn a lot. Second, they mustn't spend money."

Yan Huai: "..."

After working hard for a while, the little Bai Ze boss finally got the good news that a client had found a partner, and was invited to celebrate at a bar.

He got drunk.

The next morning, his friend looked at him with a complicated expression. "Do you remember what you did last night?"

Yan Huai: "What did I do?"

"You kept dragging this handsome guy toward the bar, insisting he sing 'The Smurfs.' You wouldn't let go, and even declared that you'd prove the Smurfs were actually yellow-skinned."

Yan Huai: "..."

Yan Huai calmly replied, "Really? I don't believe it."

So his friend opened their phone and showed him the video.

Yan Huai looked at the extremely dark-faced handsome man on the screen and wished he could dig himself a secluded mansion in Kunlun on the spot, then hide away in the mountains forever and never see another soul.

But the truth was, he couldn't dig himself a mansion, and he didn't have the money to live in seclusion in the Kunlun Mountains, so he had no choice but to dutifully return to work at the matchmaking agency.

Fortunately, business was good today, and a client walked in first thing in the morning.

The handsome man was tall and long-legged, with an imposing presence. Even in a simple white T-shirt, his air of authority was unmistakable, and he seemed to have a touch of kingly arrogance.

Yan Huai thought the man looked a little familiar.

Yazi raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I'm a stubborn man. I only want to find that little Bai Ze who dragged me into singing 'The Smurfs' at the bar the night before last and make him my partner. I wonder if you have any news, boss?"

Yan Huai: "..."

Yan Huai: I don't think so.
