Upcoming story. I’m currently saving up chapters for the full release. Please add it to your collection!
Beautiful, kind-hearted young chef x gluttonous general with maxed-out combat skills. A pseudo Sentinel/Guide setting. You can enjoy the story without knowing the lore.
Food blogger Xiang Tao transmigrated, bringing her beloved kitten, Chunjuan, along with her. When she opened her eyes, she had become the “Tofu Beauty” selling tofu in a border town in the ancient Great Liang. The original owner couldn’t do anything, and relied on low-cut clothes to attract customers.
Xiang Tao: “Time to clean up this industry!” She threw a basin of brine over every Tom, Dick, and Harry who came to bother her.
Before long, the tofu shop had been given a complete makeover and turned into Xiang Tao’s Kitchen.
Yuanbao cabbage, emerald kiln-roasted chicken, five-colored dumplings
Creme caramel, strawberry milkshakes, cheeseburgers
Enjoying a meal made by Xiang Tao at her restaurant became an occasion more exciting than New Year’s.
Business took off, attracting Shao Bin, the Marquis of Zhenyuan. People said the marquis had a violent temper and could go berserk at any moment.
The mad marquis even brought a huge wolfhound with him to dinner. Xiang Tao scooped up the bristling Chunjuan and nervously approached. “What can I do for you, my lord?”
Shao Bin looked irritable. “You’re a Guide, and your spirit animal is a cat? Hurry up and give me a mental stabilization!”
Xiang Tao: “What?”
Shao Bin was a minor Sentinel character in a Sentinel/Guide novel. After being betrayed by his Guide, he went mad and died young. Unexpectedly, he transmigrated into Great Liang, where the people had yet to evolve and there were no Sentinels, let alone Guides.
Facing the prospect of another painful end in madness, the despairing Shao Bin suddenly heard that the proprietress of Xiang Tao’s Kitchen was a “Guide.” Everyone who ate at her establishment left refreshed and smiling.
Shao Bin: “This time, I absolutely won’t let her get away!”
The Marquis of Zhenyuan became a regular at Xiang Tao’s Kitchen, eating, drinking, and snuggling up to her from winter through summer.
Shao Bin grew paler and fatter, and with a cat in his arms, he seemed like a completely different person.
Shao Bin gazed at Xiang Tao with tender affection. “Thank you, my Guide. Your mental stabilization is the source of my life.”
Xiang Tao: “You make it sound so dramatic. You’re just a glutton who keeps coming here to satisfy his cravings.”
Shao Bin: “I am willing to enter into a permanent bond with you, and never leave your side for the rest of my life.”
Xiang Tao held her forehead. “Huh? How did you end up deciding I’m on the menu?”
