I'm Done Being an Actress: I Sell Lunchboxes and It's a Frenzy

My new book, The Real Heiress Only Wants to Repair Mecha, is out now. Please check it out and show your support. [Foodie fiction · Random gig work and the search for flavor] Urgent search! Su Yingxue, code name “Retired Culinary Goddess”: Formerly a promising actress, now the leader of the citywide “Gourmet Guerrilla Squad,” followed by foodies everywhere! She tore up her contract and tossed aside the spotlight without a second thought. Then the “save Grandma” KPI turned her into a kitchen workaholic: She cooked fried rice in the film crew’s cafeteria, leaving extras scrambling for seconds. A top-tier star who hadn’t eaten in three days got his appetite back after a single bite of noodles. She set up a stall selling savory sauce pancakes at a hospital, and the line stretched all the way to the inpatient building. She snuck into an apartment block late at night to sell mini wontons, bringing night-shift family caregivers to tears with their warmth. She sold fried chicken legs during the afternoon karaoke sessions, and even the singing champions were willing to pause their songs to place an order. Even the night-shift staff at the funeral home secretly stocked up on her fried eggplant sandwiches for midnight snacks! She even became the boss of an advertising agency. Why are her employees volunteering for overtime just to get sweet-and-sour pork ribs? Important warning: This woman is all about “hit once and move on.” Just as the delicious aroma spreads halfway down the street, her stall has “mysteriously relocated”! So the entire city’s foodies have switched into “chase the flavor” mode: “Any tips on where to wait? Where is Sister Su setting up her tomato-and-beef hand-pulled noodle stall?” “Does anyone know where she is? My mom says she can’t even swallow her medicine if she can’t get her hands on Su’s Fuding pork slices!” “Confirmed: chasing her food is more competitive than chasing tickets to a top-tier star’s concert!” Her spatula is her new script, and the warmth of the kitchen is the strength behind her comeback. Watch Su Yingxue take life’s hardships and fry them up into irresistible food that has everyone chasing after her!
