Summary
Lin Dan is bound to an auxiliary system. She does tasks to maintain the plot of countless small worlds. Simply put, she is just a supporting role or cannon fodder, a stepping stone for others to achieve greatness.
Confusion, desperation, madness, loving who she can’t love, wanting what she can’t have: Lin Dan experienced too much loss and misery. When she finally achieved enlightenment and decided to unbind from the system and return to her original world, something interrupted her return journey and she was sent back into the three thousand worlds to continue struggling.
Although she lost her memory, Lin Dan was no longer confused. She decided to take her own path and finally discovered that she had to love herself before others could love her. As long as you live your life well, no matter how insignificant it seems, you will become a protagonist one day. If you bloom, the butterflies will naturally come.
Thanks for the chapter
Woops.. seems oike this is the ‘past’ young marquiss ?
haha what comes around goes around!
Honestly I feel really bad for Yan LanQing. Sure she was part of the reason behind why the MC was originally driven out in the first place, but she was mainly manipulated by her father and the people around her. I doubt she had the knowledge of the truth of the situation. Not to mention that she did fairly win the competition. Her family are really the people who are trash; I don’t believe that she is a bad person. I’m also sure she’s worked really hard to get her current status; but her shit family is just dragging her down.
Well, the fact that she used her favour in a cooking competetion should say something about her. Also, she called out Lin Dan that she would destroy the recipes & knife (in the beginning). Also, forcefully confining good recipes in the imperial palace so that they do not endanger her family restaurant. Later, causing goons to runover Lin Dan’s restaurant.
She’s clearly complicit with her family’s actions. She’s a bit smarter than them & skilled in cooking; that’s all. No way is she a “good” person.
I never claimed she was a “good” person. Just not “bad” or “evil.”
She didn’t use her favor in this cooking competition. The emperor favored her but that’s only natural since she’s served him for many years and has a relatively close relationship. It’s not like she bribed him or something. Is it unfair for the competition to be biased? Perhaps, but it’s normal for one to hope for an advantage in a competition that has such high stakes. I mean, even in everyday life like job applications people use interpersonal relationships and networking to snag jobs even if their resume may not be the best. Is that unfair? Some might say that it’s fair since they devoted hard work and time in building those connections.
As to destroying the recipe and knife I’m not too sure what you are talking about?
Confining other good recipes is selfish but in the end it’s to her best benefit and it’s completely understandable why she does it. Honestly, it’s natural for her to do so. Kinda reminds of like unethical mergers and acquisitions lmao. Just normal slightly shady business practices imo. It doesn’t make her a good person but that was never my intention.
As for the last part, she wasn’t the person who got the goons to smash the resturant. That was Lin Dan’s uncle. She had no knowledge of that.
My point was just that she’s not a “bad” person. And because of that I felt bad for her when she was beat up and punished for Lin Dan’s uncle’s stupid actions and when her restaurant was destroyed. I just didn’t think she deserved that at all.
Welp it turns out that she wasn’t even behind her family confining recipes. Damn what pig teammates her family are.
Wasn’t she the one that used tang peng to release the king of xiongnu which lead to nearly all of tang jiu’s family getting killed. She also was involved in stealing people’s hard earned recipes and passing them as her own for her own personal gain. Although her family was the one banning the dishes, she was sill doing something that was inherently wrong and bad. These chiefs worked there butts off for years and all the glory goes to a girl that hasn’t earned it. She literally has people killed and steals people’s hard work for her own personal gains. How is that not considered bad?
I don’t think she knew that her family had been stealing recipes and oppressing other chefs based on her reaction when Lin Dan exposed her. But she definitely did Tang Jiu dirty by releasing the king of xiongnu. She probably did it to take revenge against the emperor and those who made her suffer.
I’m guessing you didn’t read till the end of the arc, she used lin dan’s late father’s recipe to earn the favour of the emperor, despite claiming she never used his recipes, only her own, but she failed to create the authentic dish and was discovered when lin dan made the real dish. She’s not totally innocent at all.
Thanks for the update
I love this novel so much, OMG! Even when the arcs don’t have romance, I love the male leads! They clearly care and respect Lin Dan so much. And Lin Dan, oh my goodness, where to even begin. I love this novel because it’s a refreshing take on quick transmigration because Lin Dan has no system/missions, etc., she just lives for herself! <3
Just came back from reading the full MLT and I must say then ending though O.O, yet overall the for the novel as a whole if your expecting a full romantic one then this is not for you. Yes there are bits of fluff here and there but it doesn’t fully go into it.
hey guys, until the end of august, i will be posting 1 chapter a week. then the schedule will be back to 2.
mass releases of older arcs (edited properly) are in the works, so keep a lookout for announcements about that!
