Landlady's Diary

[Complete. Thank you all for supporting the official version!] [Coming soon: The Little Taotie Becomes a Viral Mukbang Star. Completed: My Braised Food Shop Made Everyone Drool. I hope you'll support them too!] Blurb: The apocalypse arrived, and everyone was in danger. One-third of humanity awakened supernatural abilities, with powers over wind, fire, thunder, lightning, and all sorts of other things. But the hopelessly weak Fang You inherited only an old, run-down apartment from her grandfather and a notebook. Fang You threw down the notebook. What good is this supposed to do?! A day later, supernatural ability users returning from killing monsters saw a petite young woman. She had an old book tucked under her arm, and her eyes lit up whenever she spotted someone. She would sneak over and whisper: "Hey, friend, want to rent a place? It's really cheap." Everyone who survived the apocalypse believed that supernatural ability users were battle-hardened powerhouses, capable of finding a chance to survive even in the harshest conditions. But the ability users living in an apartment building near the outskirts of District 44... Tenant A: "Sleeping rough in terror? Scraping by in a safety zone? No, no. I rent a place. It has running water and electricity, and the bed is nice and soft. Staying home all day is so comfortable, hehe." Tenant B: "What? Killing monsters and hunting, never knowing when you'll get your next meal? Not really. The food in our building's cafeteria is pretty good. The auntie's sweet-and-sour ribs are delicious! I wonder what we're having today." Tenant C: "The hardest thing after the apocalypse? The other people in the building think I sing terribly, and they won't let me use the mic in the karaoke room. Is that a good enough answer? They're so mean, boohoo..." The other ability users: Soft beds? A cafeteria? A karaoke room? Those things can all exist in the same building?! Are we really living through the same apocalypse?! Reader's guide: 1. An ordinary post-apocalyptic farming-life story, without much love or hate. A little sleepy read (not really). 2. Also known as Life's Little Pleasures: Eating and Drinking in the Apocalypse, Everyone Else Is Thinking About Their Next Meal, and So Am I, and Danger Is for Other People, Happiness Is for Me. 3. There is a male lead, but he's just a plot device (guaranteed). Not much romance. 4. The most important rule for reading: just have fun! 5. The adorable cover was created by the artist Yuan Mu! Love her! Coming soon: The Little Taotie Becomes a Viral Mukbang Star Blurb: The little Taotie Bai Tao was cast down to the human world by the heavenly realm for eating too much. The heavenly realm even thoughtfully made her an identity as a well-respected actor, hoping she could turn her appetite into acting talent and focus on filming instead of thinking about food all day! Those were the Heavenly Emperor's exact words. Bai Tao rubbed her little belly, feeling wronged. That old miser of a Heavenly Emperor really was stingy. If he had people send her delicious spiritual food every day, she wouldn't have gotten so hungry that she gnawed on a mountain. But although the human world restricted her spiritual power, it couldn't restrict her appetite. By chance, Bai Tao discovered that human food was damn delicious! Steamed chicken, roast goose, glutinous rice, fried chicken, barbecue, spicy hot pot, braised snacks, guokui flatbreads, grilled cold noodles... Bring it all on! No, ten or a hundred servings still wouldn't be enough! By the time her agent remembered that Bai Tao was on vacation, it was too late. She was thriving as a mukbang star on a video platform, having so much fun she had forgotten all about going back. Her agent clutched her heart and yelled: "Do you still want to act?! You eat all day, every meal, and so much each time. You're going to get fat sooner or later..." Wait, how come she hadn't gained weight? Bai Tao sheepishly spat out a chicken bone and said, "Quite a few people came to me recently hoping to work together. Could they have been scammers?" Her agent: "Actors can't accept work offers on their own! Show me right now!" A brand-new variety show from a genius producer whose every show was a hit, a food program everyone in the industry was desperate to join! An invitation to become the sole global brand ambassador for a famous food brand that was a household name but had never hired an endorser before! An invitation to serve as a food judge on a national television cooking competition, with a big shot who had personally overseen state banquets on the panel! Bai Tao said worriedly, "But I still have to act, right?" Her agent waved a hand. "Why act at all? Keep doing mukbangs for me!" Theme: A positive and uplifting outlook on life
