*The blurb for the upcoming novel "Seeking Spring Colors (Rebirth)" is at the end.
Shi Xiu only found out her mother had secretly signed her up for a dating show when the production crew called.
Unable to afford the steep cancellation fee, Shi Xiu was forced to board a flight to Haishi, comforting herself that she might as well treat it as a vacation.
Shi Xiu had always had a knack for blending into the background, and sure enough, she became the invisible one on the show.
Not only was she assigned the smallest room in the corner, but her camera operator also came down with a stomach bug. When the first episode aired, Shi Xiu barely appeared on screen.
As the show gained popularity, viewers started shipping the contestants, but none of the pairings involved Shi Xiu.
After all, for three nights in a row, she hadn't received a single romantic text.
"Oh, wasn't Xiu Xiu supposed to go on a date with Xiao Ran today? Why did the text come to me again? Did he send it to the wrong person?" The first female contestant stepped gracefully out of her room, which had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea.
On the fourth day, everyone boarded a yacht for a trip to an island. Sun, sand, waves, coconut palms, and a beautiful, deserted island, except...
"What? There's no restaurant on the island, and the production team isn't providing food?"
"Then what are we supposed to eat? There's no food delivery here!"
"We have to dig up bamboo shoots in the mountains, catch fish in the sea, and cook for ourselves? If I knew how to do all that, why would I be on a dating show? I'd have signed up for a survival show instead!"
As everyone groaned, Shi Xiu, squeezed into a corner, reluctantly raised her hand. "Um, how about letting me try?"
Fish head with scallions, prawns with garlic, oyster omelet, crab with rice cakes, stir-fried spinach, braised bamboo shoots, and a huge pot of coconut chicken soup.
When the six dishes and a soup were served, everyone looked at Shi Xiu differently.
That night, Shi Xiu received a romantic text from every male contestant.

Gu Sheng sat in front of the television, watching Shi Xiu take a walk in the rain with contestant number one, get into contestant number two's sports car to go to the supermarket, and finally watch a movie with contestant number three. His frown grew deeper by the minute.
Five minutes later, Gu Sheng turned and called Shi Xiu. "How about I pay the cancellation fee for you? :)"
*Reader's Guide:
1. Dating show x food. The dating-show format draws inspiration from real-life dating shows, and there will be plenty of food.
2. The male lead will join the show later as a surprise contestant.

In her previous life, Jiang Chunyi found a boy in the snow and brought him home.
The boy had a tragic background, yet he was neither servile nor arrogant, and he was exceptionally talented. The Duke of Ning trusted him and groomed him with care, while Jiang Chunyi treated him like her own younger brother.
Who could have known she was letting a wolf into their home? In the end, the Duke of Ning's household was falsely accused of rebellion, and every member of the family was killed. The person who led the imperial guards to confiscate their home was none other than her so-called "good little brother."
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Chunyi had been reborn on the day she found Jiang An.
Winter snow covered the ground, and sure enough, a boy was lying outside the back gate of the Duke of Ning's residence.
She coldly raised a hand, about to order her servants to dump him in the wasteland outside the city, when she happened to catch a glimpse of half his profile.
She was stunned.
The person lying there wasn't the treacherous Jiang An after all, but Gu Xiuran, the future powerful minister who would stand just below The Outcast and above all others!
"Quick, get him inside!"
Jiang Chunyi remembered that in her previous life, it was this very minister, Gu, who eventually cleared the Duke of Ning's name.
Gu Xiuran once had a dream.
In the dream, he rose to the highest rank in the court, earning the new emperor's deep trust. He could turn clouds with one hand and rain with the other.
He pacified the Western Xia, subdued the northern barbarians, and cleared the name of the loyal Duke of Ning.
But when the dream ended, he was still alone, never having married.
Every year during the Ghost Festival, he would light a Kongming lantern and let it drift into the sky. The paper lantern bore just one character: "Seek."
He woke up, but he couldn't understand what the word "Seek" in his dream meant.
Until the day someone ambushed him, leaving him collapsed outside the Duke of Ning's residence, where he was carried inside.
In his hazy unconsciousness, he seemed to hear someone calling the Duke of Ning's daughter, who had saved him, "A Xun."
*The female lead is reborn, while the male lead has precognitive dreams.
Theme: Embrace love with an open heart
Although I hate people like Zhao Yan in real life, having such people in the show can make it more interesting.
Hahahaha~ interesting
It's impossible to get a wife at this pace.

Have you finished reading? I like it so much and it feels so warm.
I don't usually post comments, but when I saw the author's message, he seemed to like the readers' comments. I first read the completed novel in ancient times, but switched to this one before I finished it. I have read a lot of food novels, and my real hobby is cooking and baking. The recipes in the last novel can feel that the author has done a lot of homework, and they are not just random recipes or Internet celebrity quick recipes. The reason for abandoning the article is also very simple: it is like a cookbook, not like a food novel, and it lacks some novel plots. Because the author is serious about recipes and still unwilling to give up, I read this book again. It is obvious that the plot of this novel has been increased a lot, and the recipes have been integrated into the "life" in the novel. Although I have only read the beginning, I am very happy that the author is making continuous progress.
When is the extra episode?
My mouth watered when I saw the delicious food at night.
Is this a romance novel or a food novel? I feel like most of the more than 60 chapters describe the taste and cooking methods of those foods.
I have written more than 60 chapters, but I still don't have a rough idea. The progress is too slow!!
