Flavor Contests

She just wanted to cook. Now she’s feeding the apocalypse. Marron Louvel was supposed to win Earth’s biggest cooking competition… but she died before the judges could take a bite. Now she’s stuck in a fantasy world with a rundown food stall, a grumpy talking bear, and a System that insists she’s an SSS-Grade Chef. Her first customer? A half-dead adventurer who cries after one bite of her duck fat fries. Her recipes from Earth don’t just taste good—they heal, buff, and change fates. She’s not interested in romance. But that hasn’t stopped knights, beastfolk, or demon lords from lining up for more than just seconds. To survive in a world ruled by cooking power, Marron must upgrade her stall, unlock legendary ingredients, and serve dishes so good they shake the heavens. Because in the world of Savoria, flavor is power—and one perfect bite can save a life.

Then she opens Wanwei Lou (Ten Thousand Flavors House) and feeds her enemies their karma on a silver plate. Genre: 1980s Chinese Urban Romance + Foresight + Restaurant Empire + Face-Slapping.

After six years of loving Julian Grayson and literally keeping him alive with her rare blood donations, Hazel Ashworth is just three days away from becoming his wife when he calls to cancel their wedding. The reason? Her half-sister Ivy has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and her dying wish is to marry Julian instead. Hazel watches in horror as Julian takes her handcrafted wedding dress to Ivy, who plans to wear it while stealing not just Hazel's fiancé, but her entire wedding—same venue, same date, even the same cake flavor. It's a devastating replay of their childhood, where Ivy's mother Eleanor destroyed Hazel's family by seducing her father and driving her mother to suicide, then spent years pushing Hazel out while Ivy took everything that was once hers. But this time, Hazel refuses to break like her mother did. She demands Julian's entire company and two million dollars as compensation, then shows up at the hospital to deliver Ivy's "wedding gift" in the most explosive way possible. As Ivy plays the perfect dying victim and Julian remains blind to her manipulation, Hazel begins to suspect that her half-sister's illness might not be as terminal as everyone believes. When Ivy has the audacity to ask Hazel to witness her wedding to Julian, the gloves come off completely. Now Hazel must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth and reclaim what's rightfully hers, even if it means destroying the man she once loved in the process.
