Getting Rich by Raising Cats [Gourmet]

Food blogger Su Shiqi transmigrates into a book, landing in the world of a certain interstellar novel.

The book tells the tumultuous love story of a commanding general and his deputy, the one he loves.

Su Shiqi doesn't become the general or his deputy. He becomes the general's fiance.

Everyone says the original owner is lucky to be engaged to a handsome, capable general.

With the general away from home for years at a time, the original owner diligently fulfills his duties as a future spouse, caring for his future in-laws and his underage brother-in-law.

He thinks all his hard work has earned him their gratitude, but as soon as the general comes home, he demands to break off their engagement and marry the deputy who fought alongside him through life and death.

The future in-laws and brother-in-law he has cared for so wholeheartedly turn out to look down on him, too.

All his efforts become a joke.

Then he turns evil, becoming an obstacle to the protagonists' love and, in the end, a thoroughly despicable male supporting character.

After transmigrating into the book, Su Shiqi promptly packs up and runs away.

This isn't an evil supporting character's life. It's a raw deal.

Break off the engagement! He won't play this hapless male supporting character anymore.

Life on his own after the engagement is broken off is still full of flavor, until he rescues a kitten.

The kitten is snowy white and adorable, and absolutely tiny, but it can eat like there's no tomorrow. It's about to bankrupt him.

As a fluff enthusiast, there's no way he'll abandon the kitten, so he'll just have to work harder to earn money.

There's a major cooking competition coming up. He hears the first-place prize is huge.

For the kitten's sake, he promptly enters the competition.

He was a food blogger in his previous life. Surely winning first place will be a piece of cake.

As the competition goes on, he accidentally gets rich.

With money to spare, he feeds his kitten better and better, and the kitten keeps growing.

Su Shiqi holds his 140-pound cat in his arms, nearly crushed beneath its weight and struggling to breathe.

Amused, he says, "You're practically a lion now. Why not turn into a person for me?"

To his astonishment, the cat sprawled over him turns into a man.

That handsome face is familiar: it's the boss of his former fiance, the Empire's God of War, Marshal Huo Xuan.

The love interest's perspective:

The Empire's Marshal Huo Xuan suffers from anorexia, which is getting worse and worse. His spirit form has weakened from a mighty white lion into a kitten small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

That is, until he meets Su Shiqi.

He seems to have an appetite again.

Su Shiqi's cooking smells so good. Su Shiqi smells even better.

I want a taste.
