A Top-Tier Culinary Spirit Root, but I Have to Transmigrate into a Book and Work

[A cast of diners from different worlds + everyday food and feasting]

Food blogger Wen Shuling was bound by an evil System to the Ultimate Culinary Spirit Root. To return to the real world, she had to transmigrate into books, switch settings, take jobs, and complete the tasks assigned by the System.

Wen Shuling closed her eyes. “I'm not doing it. Find someone else.”

But when she opened them again, the System had already kicked her into her first workplace.

Wen Shuling: “...”

[An international bilingual kindergarten]

It was as if this place had gathered the world's pickiest children. The teachers looked utterly exasperated. Just how fussy could these little young masters and misses be?!

The parents were discussing switching their children to another kindergarten, saying this one was making their precious darlings thinner and thinner!

But ever since Wen Shuling arrived,

all the children suddenly had hearty appetites. They ate until they were chubby and begged to go to school every day. Even their parents wanted to repeat kindergarten, and some even wanted to pay for a job at the school just to eat the staff meals.

Everyone chased after Wen Shuling. “Chef Wen, we'll pay you a hundred thousand a month. Could you come cook for our family?”

Everyone else: “I'll pay a hundred and fifty thousand! I'll pay two hundred thousand...”

[Working at the imperial palace]

A eunuch came trembling out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, carrying a plate smashed into pieces. The imperial kitchen's cooks knelt outside the palace, banging their heads against the ground. “Please calm your anger, Your Majesty...”

Wen Shuling swallowed and asked, “Will I be beheaded if I can't do a good job?”

System: “Yes. The emperor in this book loves his empire, but he loves good food even more...”

But no one expected that the emperor, who had been furious because he couldn't get anything delicious, would beam with delight after eating her crab roe tofu. He was even less severe at court and more willing to listen to advice. From then on, the country was stable and the people lived in peace.

The consorts in the harem stopped fighting for the emperor's favor, too. They didn't care whose name he called that night. They only wanted to know what they were eating today!

The emperor, carrying the date paste cakes Wen Shuling had made, invited a certain poet for the nth time to take an official post. The poet didn't want to serve in court, hid among mountains and rivers, but loved good food.

Emperor: “Just agree to become an official, and whatever you want, I'll give it to you.”

After tasting the date paste pastries Wen Shuling had made, the poet said, “I want Chef Wen!”

[The greatest animal city in the universe]

Over tens of thousands of years, animals evolved into more advanced forms and came to live in the same city as humans. Unfortunately, most animals disliked the two-legged creatures. Animals and humans kept to their own sides and lived without interfering with each other.

But ever since Wen Shuling opened a little restaurant in Animal City...

To get a hot meal, a fearsome Northeast tiger rolled around on the ground and acted cute! Lions, leopards, and polar bears even got into fights over it.

One day, the headline of Animal City's front page read: Shocking! The meal that made countless furry creatures fight was...

Netizens:

[!!! I don't even dare get close to a Northeast tiger, but the owner actually dares to pet it!!]

[Why are these mighty, murderous animals acting cute for the owner! Is it just because her food tastes good?!]

[This is the first time I've thought a leopard was so adorable, like a kitten... Okay, it only looks like one when it's cuddling up to the owner. It's still so fierce and scary with us!]

Wen Shuling: “Who says these animals are scary? They're obviously adorable. When they eat something delicious, they even rub their heads against my palm.”

Later, Wen Shuling also transmigrated to an interstellar world where people relied on nutrition fluid because supplies were scarce, a martial arts world of vendettas and adventure, a fantastical world of magic...

Basically, it's the story of a heroine who thrives on delicious food no matter which story world she transmigrates into, winning everyone over.
