Yan Chuxin, heir to a family of imperial chefs, survives palace intrigue and bloodshed to rise to the position of head chef in the imperial kitchen, despite being a woman. Just as she gets a taste of the pinnacle of her career, she transmigrates into the entertainment industry as a cannon-fodder supporting actress with the same name: a C-list nobody who gets blacklisted after appearing in fewer than a hundred words.
With just two coins left in her pocket, Yan Chuxin pushes a cheap little food cart out into the world.
At first, netizens mock her:
"Isn't this that actress who got blacklisted?"
"Couldn't make it in showbiz, so now she's running a street stall? Hilarious!"
"How could a shabby little stall like that have anything good? I bet those customers are paid actors!"
Then a famous food blogger comes by on a recommendation and takes one bite...
"Holy crap! What kind of heavenly deliciousness is this?!"
Next, an award-winning actor who vanished for half a year appears at her stall, elegantly slurping noodles;
a big shot who frequently appears in financial magazines sits on a plastic stool in his suit, wolfing down food;
a rich second-generation playboy who's been around the block nearly gets into a fight over the last Yunnan ham mooncake...
Yan Chuxin's little stall goes viral overnight!
The haters all switch sides:
"Big sis, I was wrong. Please save me a bite!"
"I was blind before. Now I just want to kneel down and eat!"
"Boss Yan, are you opening a chain? Can I invest?"
Even more absurdly, the head of the company that blacklisted her personally comes to apologize, and offers from all kinds of variety shows pour in.
Yan Chuxin: ???
I just wanted to run a stall and make a living. How did I accidentally reach the pinnacle of my career again?!

Coming soon: The Real Heiress Goes Viral in the Underworld with Her Food Livestreams
Yan Xiaoyu is a civil servant in the underworld who slacks off at work. After angrily ranting about the plot of a melodramatic novel, she transmigrates into the novel as the real heiress, a universally despised cannon-fodder character.
In the Cheng family, only Cheng Xinxin is the princess. To everyone in the family, Yan Xiaoyu, the real heiress, is an "impostor."
"Remember your place. Don't covet Xinxin's things."
"In my heart, Xinxin is the only one I consider my little sister."
"Xinxin is so delicate. You need to make allowances for her."
Yan Xiaoyu: "..."
My fists are clenched!
When Yan Xiaoyu transmigrates, the Cheng family has already taken her back in, and she's also been forced to bind herself to a "Food Merit System."
Food Merit System: Dear user, your merit points are insufficient. If you Go Die right now, your civil servant position in the underworld will be automatically revoked, and you'll only be able to reincarnate as a cockroach.
Yan Xiaoyu: "!!!"
Damn! What a vicious System!
To return to her civil servant job in the underworld and avoid the miserable fate of reincarnating as a cockroach, Yan Xiaoyu has no choice but to start a food stall and earn merit points.
Once they enter the underworld, ghosts can no longer smell or taste the aroma of food.
On the day Yan Xiaoyu starts her food livestream, all the ghosts in the underworld smell the long-lost aroma of delicious food.
All the ghosts in the underworld: "!!!"
That night, countless people receive dream visits from their friends and relatives in the underworld.
Billionaire grandpa: "Send money! Buy me those red-oil wontons! Otherwise, I'll tell you ghost stories in your dreams tonight!"
Top-tier star dad: "I want ten servings of egg fried rice! Otherwise, I'll let the paparazzi expose your hair transplant records!"
Deceased movie-star daughter: "Mom, I want strawberry cake."
Overnight, Yan Xiaoyu's snack stall becomes a sensation in both the world of the living and the underworld!
Trending topic in the human world: #BillionaireTopTierStarAndMovieStarGatherAtMysteriousSnackStall#
Underworld headline: #Shock! Black and White Impermanence Fight Over Sausage. Is This a Distortion of Ghostly Nature or a Collapse of Morality?#
By the time the Cheng family comes to their senses, Yan Xiaoyu has become someone they can't reach, even standing on tiptoe.
The family members blame one another, and the family falls apart.
Later...
Yan Xiaoyu, now riding high, is photographed going on an outing with an unfamiliar man.
Human-world big shots: Who is that?
Everyone in the underworld: ?!! Isn't that Black Impermanence? Damn! So it's an office romance!
