Reincarnated as the Favorite Little Chef

Chef Meng Po, punished for excessive complaints, is forced to possess seven-year-old orphan Meng Xiaoqi and travel to the mortal realm to collect the 'Eight Tears of Guidance' to remake Meng Po Soup. Returning to the Meng family as Meng Xiaoqi, she discovers that her uncle Meng Jichen's fate has been altered by evil spirits and that the family is engulfed in internal strife. Using her thousand-year culinary skills to resolve the crisis, Meng Po collects tears of life, old age, and bitterness, exposing the conspiracy between the villain Li Wu and her step-grandmother Liu Yuru. To save her dying uncle, she sheds a tear of sorrow, regains her divine status, and willingly accepts heavenly punishment to exchange for his rebirth. She then makes a pact with the King of Hell to accompany the Meng family in their mortal form, spending warm and loving days together.
