[The male leads are together now. Updates are irregular, TT, so it's best to wait until it's complete!]
1.
Wen Xiang was a piece of ginger.
Yes, ginger. He had gained a spirit form.
And he was the first of his kind. He had become a spirit several hundred years after foxes, rabbits, and tigers had already cultivated human forms. With no ancestors to pave the way and no powerful connections, figuring out how to successfully pass himself off as a human was a major problem.
But pretending to be someone with a personality, a temper, feelings, and preferences...
Wen Xiang, pinching the corners of his mouth as he practiced smiling: Good. The flaws aren't too obvious.
It seemed that with a little more practice, he could finally venture out into the world and find the benefactor who had helped him become a spirit.
But an accident led the young master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Xu Mudan, to try a dish Wen Xiang had cooked, which contained a piece of ginger from Wen Xiang's own body.
...The result was that the young master was utterly captivated, and became convinced that Wen Xiang had some secret recipe that gave the dish its unique flavor.
So what could possibly be different about ordinary ginger and spirit ginger?
Wasn't it just a little spicier?
Wen Xiang, now under close scrutiny: ...This person might expose my identity. He's dangerous.
But.
He has good taste.
Wen Xiang admired him greatly.
2.
Xu Mudan's loss of appetite was alleviated for the first time after he ate a dish made by Wen Xiang.
But no matter what he tried, he couldn't get the so-called "recipe" out of him. He begged nicely and even threatened him repeatedly, all to no avail.
Worse, he developed withdrawal symptoms from that flavor. After tasting it once, he couldn't live without it. It had ensnared his stomach, leaving him obsessed, lovesick, and tossing and turning with longing.
But what was even worse was that he had threatened Wen Xiang not long ago.
Xu Mudan: ...Why not just put me out of my misery?
To get the recipe, he hid his identity and secretly followed Wen Xiang. He even took up residence on Wen Xiang's roof and exchanged notes with him, becoming the penniless, kindhearted, but mute wandering hero who couldn't afford a meal, as far as Wen Xiang was concerned.
But before long, Xu Mudan noticed something was off.
Wen Xiang always seemed to have some strange people hanging around him.
Wen Xiang seemed to be very popular with them.
And when Xu Mudan saw Wen Xiang spending time with them, everything felt wrong.
Xu Mudan, unable to talk to Wen Xiang directly because he was pretending to be mute: ...Tch.
He'd dug himself into this hole.
He couldn't take it anymore. He really couldn't.
3.
For all this time, Xu Mudan had assumed it was Wen Xiang's secret recipe that had won over his stomach. So even after they got together, he could understand why Wen Xiang still wouldn't share it with him.
It wasn't until they kissed and someone tasted ginger in his mouth that he finally realized something was wrong.
Looking at Wen Xiang, the newly appointed martial arts alliance chief, breathing hard after their kiss, Xu Mudan smacked his lips and savored the flavor. "...This tastes familiar."
Wait. What exactly was Wen Xiang's true form?
Xu Mudan, who had always thought Wen Xiang was a fox, rabbit, or tiger spirit, stared in shock.
No wonder Wen Xiang had never asked whether Xu Mudan had first fallen for him or his recipe. Xu Mudan had been feeling nervous and guilty about that for ages, and now he understood.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Seeing Xu Mudan's stunned face, Wen Xiang wiped the moisture from his lips and blinked.
"The seasoning you put in your food every day is me, after all."
#He sure ate it with gusto#
[Devoted top x Scheming bottom]
P.S.:
1. The bottom is one of the first vegetables to successfully cultivate a human form. His goal is to blend into human society and reach the top of the food chain.
2. The top has a red birthmark near the corner of his eye that resembles a peony. He usually paints a peony over it with gold liquid. His love of beauty is maxed out.
3. In this world, animals, vegetables, and humans can all cultivate into spirits.

Theme: Treat others with kindness
Ah? Did you solve v? It's very well written, I'm willing to wait.
You can't do this to my partner, I'm already protecting him.
Whether you want to step out of your comfort zone or use your strengths, it's no problem. If you want to write, just keep writing. If you don't want to, just stop. It doesn't matter. Just let nature take its course. I like Da Da's consistent sweet writing style, which is very enjoyable to read. This article has a lot of dark and painful plots, and I was worried at first that it would be painful to read, but I was able to write it in a very hopeful, warm and happy way, and I felt relieved. Sure enough, the author who wrote the warm, healing and lovely "Who Lives in the Vampire's Upper Bunk" is very reliable. I also love the lovely Wenxiang Peony and their brothers and subordinates Just let nature take its course and everything will fall into place. Mwah
Don't put too much pressure on yourself (??ω`?) I believe you
Come on come on!!! I'll wait for the day you finish
Why don't you write a few more versions and release them to try? You don't need to scrap the manuscript. Finally, pick the version you like best and continue. The uncontinued version can be left as an if line or something. If you are interested in writing it, if you are not interested, just chat with us.
Poor Peony was bled, and Wenxiang still had to pretend Mo Ci's heart is too dark, and Mo Xiaoxiao is not a good person either. Human Pavilion should be overthrown as soon as possible.
I like this article very much, please write it down with confidence [Compare your heart] (ps: I have used up the number of chapter reviews for the last chapter, so I have to comment on this chapter)
How do you solve v?
Why did you change the cover? The previous one was really nice.
