I Work as a Cook at the Imperial Academy

One day, a pretty young cook arrived at the Imperial College dining hall, a place supposedly so awful that even pigs wouldn't eat there. The students who sneaked a peek all blushed and declared, "Someone this pretty definitely can't cook. I'm never eating here!" * Lin He believes good food can heal anything. Can't memorize your lessons? You're probably hungry and your brain isn't getting enough blood. Come have a bowl of rice noodles to boost your brain! Did badly on an exam? You're probably malnourished and forgetful. Hot pot, grilled meat, skewers, vegetables, meat, and protein, all in one place! Feeling sleepy while studying during the day? Come have some luosifen, stinky tofu, and durian mille-crepe cake. Guaranteed to "cure what ails you" and leave you full of energy! Little by little, "even pigs won't eat here" became "even immortals can't get a seat," and the Imperial College dining hall was packed every day. From graduates of the Self-Discipline Hall to little children in the introductory classes, as well as their parents, everyone tried all sorts of ways to get more to eat. Even one of the Imperial College's assistant directors, famous for being "miserly and mean," came by all the time. He even had his own reserved seat. They say he followed the young cook home for late-night snacks! Lin He rubbed the ever-growing pile of coins in her pocket and blinked innocently. "We're really just friends." A little scene: Lu Shiyu had a handsome face, but a truly sharp tongue. One day, his wife had a day off, and some of her friends came to visit from out of town. Lin He was delighted and cooked them a feast. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, their hostess was nowhere to be seen. When it was time to leave, Lu Shiyu emerged from the back room. "My wife can't hold her liquor. I'll see you all out. Please don't come by at night in the future. It would be improper." They looked at one another. At last, one of them asked, "Brother Lu, why are your lips swollen?" Coming soon: the fantasy novel The Young Masters Go on a Variety Show, and I Become Famous as Their Nanny The young masters in the book were born with silver spoons in their mouths, but for various reasons, they grew up withdrawn, domineering, or antisocial. The System appeared and ordered Yan Ning to become a young master's stepmother, using motherly tenderness to heal his psychological wounds. ? Trying to make someone become a mother is a recipe for disaster. Instead, she applied to be the nanny for ten young masters. Ten jobs, ten paychecks. Make the capitalists go bankrupt without getting emotionally involved. What a deal. The first young master got dumped and drank himself into a stupor. Afraid he'd catch a chill sleeping on the floor, Yan Ning slapped him awake thirty times. The second young master got into a fight. Yan Ning went to the school to sign the paperwork and berated the principal for daring to bully the young heir. The young master promptly received an expulsion notice. The third young lady argued with her parents over her online boyfriend and got headaches from worrying so much. Yan Ning's hearing was so bad she misheard her: "You're looking for an old man?" The fourth young master, a child prodigy, was afraid of the dark and cried at bedtime. Yan Ning installed a motion-sensor light over his bed that lit up whenever he cried. Under her "care," the young masters stumbled through life, getting knocked around by society until, somehow, they all started to improve. System: ??? Yan Ning worked diligently and earned her money conscientiously, making a million a month at a young age. What she didn't know was that the young masters were taking part in a reality show called Metamorphosis, and every move she made was being livestreamed. Viewers: [Oh my god, hahahahaha, "sober up" my ass!] [The world has gone topsy-turvy. The young master is begging the principal on behalf of the nanny.] [This is wild. I got curious and looked up the young lady's online boyfriend. Could it really be an old man pretending to be young?] [Heehee, I won first place in the Guess the Gender contest. Come take a guess too!] [Is it just me, or does this nanny look familiar?] [Replying to the comment above: I think she was the nanny at a few of the other young masters' houses too.] And so Yan Ning became an online sensation for her "cloning technique," her title as "the most rebellious nanny," and her motto, "The highest level of being a wage slave is making your boss die of embarrassment like an animal." The young masters all came to see her as a confidante, family, and a caring big sister. They offered her huge sums of money, each vying to have her look after him alone. Until... [Has no one noticed the nanny is actually quite pretty?] [Ahem, it looks like the CEO uncle of the fourth young master has been sneaking glances at the nanny.] In real life, Yan Ning also noticed the man staring at her. "Sir, is there something you need?" The young man, worth tens of billions, coughed softly, his ears turning red. "Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" Theme: Love and good food are both too precious to waste
