In the twenty-first year since Man Xinghe transmigrated, a prophecy about saving the world led the king to send him to neighboring countries.
When he heard the news, Man Xinghe had just baked a tray of fragrant, crispy little cookies in the kingdom's kitchen.
What? Save the world?
Who, me?
I don't know what's gotten into you, but I'm just a cook who can bake delicious little cookies. I have absolutely nothing to do with being a hero...
The afternoon he received his appointment as a hero, Yu Yuan stood in an unfamiliar forest with a simple pack on his back and a large bag of gold coins in his pocket, bewildered and at a loss.
Half an hourglass later.
A bonfire blazed in a clearing beside a stream in the forest. Sizzling Mushroom-Crested Chicken roasted over the flames.

Saving the world can wait. First, let him save his hungry stomach.
A vampire in an old castle who faints at the sight of blood gets his first taste of what it means to feel full thanks to Man Xinghe's chicken-blood sauce and duck-blood vermicelli soup.
A mermaid who lives by the water makes Man Xinghe listen to him sing at the same time every day, forcing him to pay for it with milk tea.
The elegant, noble elves who seem untouched by earthly concerns eat barbecue, hot pot, and spicy malatang even more ravenously than the werewolves.
The dragon clan, who love glittering gems and gold coins, will even grumble and push a gem toward Man Xinghe if he hasn't made them a cake in ages.
