It was in the throes of a sweltering summer.
A woman clad in a white chef outfit nonchalantly set up her lawn chair in a corner and began her afternoon nap, a tall white chef's hat shielding her face from the light, hiding most of it.
Not far away, the walls of an oven were still red hot. Only traces of half-dried mop water remained on the floor, indicating that something had been heated up inside.
...…
...…
Boom!

[Host detected, beginning the binding process.]
Yu Ting did not know how long she had been sleeping for. This nap had been especially restful, leaving her in a slight daze. When she fully regained consciousness, this sentence jolted her from her ears, followed by a clear bell sound.
Ding.

Suddenly awake, a stunned Yu Ting opened her eyes wide at last, finding herself in an utterly unknown environment.
A girlish living room completely done up in pink. The blanket she was lying on bore an image of Sailor Mercury, the lamp on her bedside table had a pink shade, and dangling below were several little crystals.
The wallpaper was covered in a pink polka dot pattern, with a white wool carpet laid out on the pink floor.
A pink canopy was set around her bed.
A surprised Yu Ting, initially stunned that she wasn't in her cake shop and then shocked by the perverse interior design: ?
After being dumbfounded for several minutes, Yu Ting was still stupefied on the bed, unbelievably stretching out her hand to examine it with a yet unfocused gaze.
Her fingers were slender, fair, and delicate, with beautiful nails. They were obviously well cared-for, and obviously those of an adult.
Her nails were coated with flashy nail art— her index finger shimmered with gaudy colors of blue, violet, and pink. It did not look appealing at all, but rather burdensome.
It eerily resembled those glitzy stickers sold in a supermarket near an elementary school, costing only two yuan per pack.
Damn it.
With such a sense of aesthetics and she's not even a kid?
Snapping back to her senses amidst the shock, Yu Ting disregarded everything else and started to explore her surroundings.
She rummaged through the white bedding and found a mobile phone adorned with bunny ears. She unlocked it using her thumbprint and opened the front camera.
Seems like she dozed off while being busy. The woman in the camera still had her makeup on, wearing contact lenses and a gold-colored twin ponytails wig. Even her naturally long eyelashes had false ones attached to them, and her naturally rosy lips were purposely painted a creamy tea color.
Through the inexplicable makeup, it was still apparent that she had a flawless base of delicate facial features.
Underneath the golden wig, her actual short hair had grown a bit too long, with a portion of it being black. Her eyes were covered with a niche type of contact lens, with a greyish-gold rim, giving an impression of cataracts under the indoor lighting.
