Nian Family's Mountain-and-Sea Garden Restaurant [Gourmet]

★ Completed novel: The Late-Night Diner at the End of the Alley [Gourmet] ★

★ Coming soon: Jiang's Restaurant [Gourmet], Getting Rich by Running a Floating Bookshop

After her grandmother Nian Sui passed away, her life came with an old breakfast shop, a ledger recording a debt of a million, and a System claiming to have been sent by a higher-dimensional world.

Bound to the System, she enters the Shan Hai Space, a world of unspoiled mountains, forests, and grasslands... Complete tasks, and she can get the freshest, purest ingredients.

Sheep raised free-range on lush mountain pastures have firm, richly flavored meat;

Wild fruit picked in fragrant forests is crisp, sweet, and refreshed by the dew.

Fish caught in crystal-clear lakes are rich but never greasy, their flavor mellow from the first bite;

Golden fields of wheat sway in the warm sun and gentle breeze, their kernels plump and full...

When she brings these fine ingredients back to the real world, diners are blown away. The food is so delicious they can hardly stop themselves from biting their tongues.

The Nian Family Eatery soon becomes packed with customers. The breakfast shop gradually transforms into a two-story garden restaurant, and Nian Sui goes from a million in debt to earning a million a day. She can shop without looking at price tags and vacation in the Shan Hai Space every day.

Nian Sui rides a horse across the grasslands and encounters a wild rabbit with brown-and-black fur.

She harvests wheat in the fields and encounters a little bird with rosy cheeks.

She gathers wild plants in the forest and encounters a little wolf with a tuft of blue fur on its face.

Later, she discovers that all those animals are the same person.

The little wolf with a tuft of blue fur transforms into a handsome young man with a beauty mark at the corner of his eye. He has a wild air about him, yet his gaze is so pure it holds not a trace of impurity.

His clear, spirited eyes gaze steadily at her. "Could I have all my meals with you from now on?"

The new novel The Late-Night Diner at the End of the Alley [Gourmet] is now being serialized.

[New Novel Blurb]

Five-star chef Pu Rui is bound to a business-management System and a late-night diner that spans the worlds of Xichuan and another realm.

Every night at nine, delicious aromas drift out of the diner: crispy and fragrant, soft and sweet, smooth and springy, rich and savory...

The food here doesn't just taste so good it leaves people dazed. It also has all kinds of special powers.

A balding man eats a chicken wing crisp on the outside and tender within, and a few days later, thick black hair grows back.

A woman who's never dated takes a bite of peach blossom cake and meets more than a dozen handsome men who want to pursue her within a day.

A hapless soul disliked by both cats and dogs takes a sip of mint mojito, and every cat and dog they pass comes over to rub against them and beg for pets.

The late-night diner quickly becomes a sensation in both worlds.

Long queues stretch from noon until opening time, all for a bite of savory roast meat over rice or a steaming bowl of pork bone broth noodles.

A double-crown-winning film star and a top game streamer come to blows over a bite of candied sweet potato, while dog monsters and cat spirits fling special attacks at each other over a few meat skewers.

At first, Pu Rui simply doesn't want to be a wage slave anymore. In the end, she becomes a laid-back millionaire and a collector of late-night stories.

*

The System binds another person to work alongside her as co-owner.

Her "co-owner," Li Muzhan, looks gentle and refined, with charming peach-blossom eyes that shimmer with light and always seem to be smiling. Anyone who sees him is liable to be enchanted.

Only after some time does Pu Rui realize that, beneath his refined demeanor, her co-owner is also a bit of a rascal.
