    Summary

    Life was strange, he thought, as he watched the flowers drift away on the water. While some were tossing flowers into rivers, others were celebrating their one-year anniversaries in blissful joy. He wondered if he’d ever feel that kind of happiness or that kind of love—the kind that made people want to mark milestones and celebrate them. It didn’t quite seem like his style, he thought with a wry smile as he let the moment settle.

    Summary

    After the death of his beloved sister Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng embarks on a career as a food critic, unconsciously trying to find in the dishes he tastes that flavor that only she could give. His severity and fame spread quickly throughout China, making him a respected and feared figure in haute cuisine. But despite his reputation, Jiang Cheng is never satisfied: every dish he reviews seems to lack that special ingredient that his sister infused into her meals, a quality he can never replicate. "Can a dish bring back what has been lost?" this search pushes him further and further away from the home he once knew.

    Lan Xichen, a talented chef and owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Suzhou, is renowned for his elegant, minimalist cuisine, transforming traditional Chinese flavors into modern works of art. Despite success and fame, Lan Xichen asks himself: "How much of ourselves can we put on a plate to make ourselves understood?". His cuisine is an expression of himself, but it doesn't always find the recognition he seeks, especially from critics like Jiang Cheng.

    Their meeting becomes a mutual challenge, where each tries to answer the other question: can a dish truly express what it carries inside?

    Summary

    Have you heard the good news?!

    What news again?

    Miè hún jūn was killed in the city without night!

    Really?! Finally, after everything he did, who accomplished this glorious deed?

    Of course, it was Nie Mingjue! She plunged the blade into Lan Xichen's heart, just as she promised!

    Generally, women are dangerous, but those who are hurt and betrayed are worse than all the plagues of the world!

    Can you imagine? Who would have expected Lan Xichen to be so two-faced! On one hand, they are sworn siblings, and on the other, he stabbed her husband in the heart!

    We're only talking about Nie Mingjue, but what about the Lan sect? He was born into it, had a bright future as the leader of the sect, and how did he repay them? Not even a twitch of his eyelid when he fled, leaving them to their fate. Moreover, he hurt his own sister so badly!

    Is it known if she survived?

    No, nothing is known. Lan Xichen's strength overwhelmed her, and Wei Wuxian swore revenge on him. Fortunately, it was accomplished quickly.

     

    Or

    In another reality, it is Lan Xichen who is given the role of society's hated Grandmaster of Demon Cultivation
