Selling Braised Snacks in a Dog-Blooded Novel [Interstellar]

Advance notice: [Playing a Feudal Patriarch? Me?] The blurb is below this novel's blurb. Here is this novel's blurb: This is a new author's first novel, so it's a little rough around the edges. Please consider carefully before buying the complete novel. Jian Tang is a braised-food shop owner with tremendous strength. He transmigrates into a melodramatic interstellar danmei novel, A Lover and His Three Husbands. Jian Tang is bound to a System. While completing the plot points needed to keep the original novel on track, he must also fulfill the original owner's wish and give "Jian Tang" a bright future. Since the protagonist in the original novel has the same name as him, Jian Tang grits his teeth and reads the whole thing. When he thinks back on the plot, his vision goes black. The steamy scenes may be great, but becoming the protagonist is another matter. After all, the original Jian Tang is treated as a substitute by Love Interest One, a plaything by Love Interest Two, and nothing more than a pretty face to Love Interest Three. To finish his mission, Jian Tang decides to follow the plot while opening a braised-food shop! And so... "Boss, I'll take one of everything." "Boss, I've been waiting in line forever. Please save me a piece of braised beef!" "Boss, you have to make braised duck neck today. My pregnant wife is craving it. If I can't buy any, she won't let me come home." "Boss..." Leng Muting: "Has Jian Tang learned his lesson?" Butler: "No. He... he opened a braised-food shop, and business is booming." Leng Muting: "..." Nangong Liujing grabs Jian Tang by the wrist, trying to pull him into his arms. "You little thing, you..." Jian Tang stands as firm as a mountain, without budging an inch. Nangong Liujing: "..." Wen Linyu opens his communicator, intending to keep psychologically manipulating Jian Tang. When he sends his message, the red exclamation mark is glaringly obvious. Wen Linyu: "..." From a street stall to a shop, and then to a braised-food franchise spanning the stars, Jian Tang appears at a banquet once more. Even Leng Muting has to address him as President Jian. Jian Tang: "That feels great." The Imperial Crown Prince, Jiang Yi, is injured in an accident and turns back into a lion cub, losing his memories. After Jian Tang finds him, the proud, bristling cub gradually learns to behave. Then one day, Jiang Yi regains his memories and realizes everything he's done during that time. The mature and dependable Crown Prince Joie Atlante (Jiang Yi), admired by the whole empire, rolls around in front of Jian Tang, begging to be petted... Reader's Guide: One-on-one romance. The real love interest is Jiang Yi, the lion! The livestream only appears in the early part of the story, with occasional appearances later. A little goofy, a little melodramatic. Selling braised food and following the plot each take up roughly half the story. This isn't simply a novel about selling braised food. After Gu Mingyu dies of illness, a System chooses him to transmigrate into a melodramatic novel. He must play Gu Mingyu's role as the feudal patriarch and follow the original plot. Gu Mingyu is the head of the Xiao family. He is truly feudal, a staunch believer in traditional patriarchal rules and rituals. He's also a real patriarch: what he says goes, he's dictatorial, and he has fatherly airs in spades. Gu "Loves to Lie Flat" Mingyu: "Me?" Some System: "Haha, yes, Host." Before he got sick, Gu Mingyu loved three things most: Snacking, gaming, and lounging around like a couch potato. As it happens, those are exactly the things Gu Mingyu hates seeing the younger members of the family do. At meals, sit up straight. Don't talk while eating or in bed. Dress conservatively, in a three-piece suit every day. Live in the Xiao family's old estate, a gloomy traditional Chinese garden. Travel in style, and never open a door yourself. Gu Mingyu feels like the sky has fallen. Gu Mingyu breaks down. Gu Mingyu despairs. Some System: "Haha, good luck, Host!" Song Yanzhou is the adopted son of the Gu family. What he hates most is the family's head, Gu Mingyu, and his old-fashioned, feudal ways. One day, he suddenly spots a chibi figure beside Gu Mingyu's head. Song Yanzhou thinks his eyes are playing tricks on him and rubs them. Gu Mingyu furrows his brow and says disapprovingly, "Mind your manners." As he speaks, the little figure beside him starts moving too. It floats in front of Song Yanzhou, hands on its hips, pointing at him and scolding him. Song Yanzhou: "..." Song Yanzhou suspects for a long time that there's something wrong with his head. Then one day, passing the door to Gu Mingyu's study, he hears a familiar opening line from inside. "Come on, special forces!" At first Song Yanzhou is curious. Then he gradually starts finding it a little cute. And after that... Friend: "Don't you hate Gu Mingyu? You said he was old-fashioned and feudal." Song Yanzhou: "Don't make things up. Nothing like that. He's obviously adorable." Friend: "?" Gu Mingyu diligently plays the part of an old-fashioned, feudal patriarch, unaware that his true self has long since been exposed to Song Yanzhou. Gu Mingyu, after learning the truth: Everybody, make way. I'm going to build a garden like the Gu family estate! Bonus Scene: Gu Mingyu sits upright, eats slowly and deliberately, and behaves with elegance. The chibi figure beside him props its head up on one hand and slumps over the table with a sigh. Then a thought bubble appears above its head: I want to talk! I want to talk! I want to talk!!! Gu Mingyu wears a perfectly tailored suit, exuding an air of noble elegance. The little figure wears a suit too, tugging at it this way and that as if it can't stand it. Thought bubble: This is so uncomfortable. I want to take it off! Theme: Love good food, love yourself
