My Spicy Hot Pot Stall Is a Hit, and the Whole Immortal Realm Follows Me for Food

[Unconventional cultivation + male lead + ensemble cast + face-slapping]

Yun Zhaoyue, a workaholic, transmigrates into a cultivation novel and spends half her life struggling to get ahead, only to be struck dead by a lightning tribulation just as she’s about to ascend.

When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself five hundred years in the future.

Yun Zhaoyue finally sees the light: Cultivation leads to ascension, and ascension gets you struck by lightning. The only way to stay alive is not to cultivate.

The System wants her to face-slap the chosen heroine?

Yun Zhaoyue sets up a snack stall right at the foot of her sect instead.

From then on, the story goes completely off the rails.

For the protagonists: Other people give them magic treasures; she gives them spicy hot pot.

The male and female leads finish fighting, then turn around and beg, “Sister Yun, can we get extra dishes today?”

System: “...How is this not a new kind of face-slapping?”

For the sect: The elders ask her to return and teach, so she gives a lecture before everyone on 108 Ways to Cook with Fire-Control Techniques.

The students: “Is this right?”

Gradually, Yun Zhaoyue’s snack stall expands into a chain, delivering spiritual cuisine across the three realms.

When someone comes looking for trouble, the immortal sects compete to protect Yun Zhaoyue.

“Barbecue’s on hold. We’ll deal with this lowlife.”

Yun Zhaoyue: “…”

Then, when Yun Zhaoyue is forced to take part in a sect competition, she casually blocks an attack with a spatula, shattering the immortal sword of a prodigy from an immortal sect.

Everyone stares in disbelief.

That move is exactly like the one used by the founding ancestor!

Later, the entire cultivation world holds a massive “recognizing the ancestor” event.

Yun Zhaoyue: “?”

All she wants is to quietly run a snack shop. Is that really so hard?
