A cozy everyday-life story about raising a child and good food
The little prince, whom the entire empire had awaited for more than thirty years, has finally been born!
From that day on, the people of the empire added a new part to their daily routine: checking the empress's personal account at the same time every day to watch the little prince's everyday life.
Then they discovered that their little prince seemed a little strange?
# Cyril grabbed a handful of leaves from the garden and, while we weren't looking, tore them up and tossed them into the soup. Somehow, it really did make the soup taste much better. (Picture of a little hand holding leaves.) #
# They seem to be ordinary leaves, but when put in hot water, they release a wonderful fragrance. His Majesty says they help him stay alert, and he's already fallen in love with drinking leaf-infused water. Cyril was a great help today (?) (Picture of bright green leaves.) #
# These vivid fruits were meant for decoration, but Cyril grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth. It scared me half to death. But after testing it, we discovered it was a new food ingredient. How did the little one know? (Little Cyril with red juice all over his face.) #
To Cyril, this was an ordinary day. While his mother was taking him around the garden, he spotted some red fruit.
Wow, tomatoes!
Hmm, how did he know that? Never mind, it's always been like this. He just knows. That's not important. What's important is that tomatoes are delicious!
He accidentally sprinkled sugar over a sliced tomato, and a mechanical voice rang out in Cyril's mind.

Cyril: Huh? What? Wow!
The people of the empire had started following the empress's account to see Prince Cyril's everyday life. But before long, they found themselves learning to cook along with the little prince. Those strange-tasting plants were actually delicious? There were so many ways to cook meat? You could cook with fruit, too?!
Imperial Academy of Sciences: Hurry, hurry! The little prince has discovered another new food ingredient. Add it to the cultivation program at once!
System: Collect entries in the guide, recreate delicious food, and save the food desert!
Cyril: Hooray! Leave it to me, Your Highness, to build an empire of delicious food!
Here's a preview of my upcoming no-romance, historical-to-modern story: My Pacifier-Sucking Junior Martial Uncle Is Super Strong
Blurb:
He took his master's surname. Found in the bamboo grove behind the mountain, he was named Zhu Yi. He joined the Daoist sect and was given the Daoist title Yuxuan.
Now, five-year-old Daoist Yuxuan is a little bewildered.
He had simply gone to Zuosi Peak, as usual, to complete his daily meditation. How had the place changed the moment he opened his eyes?
This is still Zuosi Peak, but it looks completely different from the place he knows. And why does that shabby-looking Daoist temple in the distance look so much like his master's Xuanyang Temple?
Shen Yuzhou, the hidden heir to the Shen family, joined the entertainment industry, only to become a barely known, B-list celebrity. His agent signed him up for a variety show about raising kids.
Twenty-three-year-old Shen Yuzhou said, “But I don't have a kid! Who am I supposed to take on the show?!”
Then his dad handed him a child.
The five-year-old wore a little Daoist robe bearing a Taiji symbol and had a small wooden sword strapped to his back. With a serious expression, he cupped his hands and said, “Young nephew Shen, I am the Daoist Pei Zhuyi, title Yuxuan. I look forward to your guidance.”
As he spoke, the pacifier in his mouth slipped out. The boy quickly caught it and put it back in.
Shen Yuzhou, looking completely baffled, turned to his dad. “Huh?”
The look on his dad's face was unlike anything he had ever seen. “Anyway, this is... Just call him Junior Martial Uncle. I'll leave him in your care for now. Treat him well.”
It was the first time his dad had ever made such a solemn request of him.
Shen Yuzhou: “Sure.”
At first, Shen Yuzhou was skeptical.
A junior martial uncle who sucked on a pacifier? That outfit was pretty convincing, but the little wooden sword had to be a toy, right?
Then his junior martial uncle jumped two meters into the air and kicked away a flowerpot falling toward Shen Yuzhou's head. He swung the little wooden sword and split a boulder rolling down the hill. Shen Yuzhou immediately dropped to his knees and offered him his pacifier.
Junior Martial Uncle Yuxuan! Please teach me! I want to learn, too!
The production crew and the livestream audience: We want to learn, too!
Theme: Love and good food are both too precious to waste.
It really came to an abrupt end.
It's okay, the cub in the front is cute.
It feels like I haven't seen a big article in a long time.
