Transmigrated as the Older Brother of the Female Side Character in a Period Novel [Gourmet]

Chen Jianglin, one of the top 100 food bloggers, spent several late nights working on a cooking video for his next release. He finally finished editing, but the moment he uploaded the video, he dropped dead.

When he opens his eyes again, he's transmigrated into a period novel as a namesake cannon-fodder character who doesn't even qualify as a supporting character.

His parents died young. In their teens, the original Chen Jianglin worked like an ox to raise his three younger siblings, only to die of illness and exhaustion before turning forty.

His younger sister is a tragic female supporting character in the book. From childhood, she's jealous of and targets the female lead, who lives in the same residential compound. As an adult, she falls for the male lead and takes a dangerous gamble to harm the female lead, only to bring about her own tragic death.

His third younger brother tries to avenge their sister and impulsively attempts to make the female lead die with her. The male lead foils his plan, and he is sent to prison, where he spends the rest of his life.

His second younger brother suffers one loss after another and dies by suicide while still young.

Looking at his three younger siblings, who obediently call him big brother, Chen Jianglin thinks about the events that have yet to happen and resolves to rewrite all four siblings' fates.

Fortunately, his newly renovated studio has come along with him, complete with a portable kitchen. Starting with a street stall, Chen Jianglin continues his culinary journey.

Chen Jianglin: I may not be able to become one of the top 100 bloggers in this era, but I can aim to open 100 chain restaurants!

Before long, people in the residential compound notice that the four pitiful Chen siblings are thriving, their faces growing rounder by the day.
