Futuristic Gourmet’s Spoiled Marriage Chapter 1
Translated by Serena Love
Looking for an editor for this novel!
Chapter 1: Green Bean Porridge and Pumpkin Balls
The year is Ephemeris 5020. In the Huanuo Empire Star.
Someday in early July.
Ling Yaoyao was awakened by an intelligent maid robot early in the morning. It reminded her that today is the day when her senior entrance exam results came out, and she can start applying for university and specify her major.
Last night, Ling Yaoyao slept in the virtual cabin. She stayed up late to play the mecha push tower battle game... She managed to get promoted from rookie bronze rank to silver rank...
Although her physical strength is bad, she has SS-level mental strength. However, she was only transmigrated to this world for a week, so she hadn't used it much. In order not to expose herself in front of the original owner's relatives and friends, she had to go to Star Network to explore the local custom and practice everything by herself.
Because she is going to apply for college, her parents, who are stationed in the military region, will be back today.
This will be Ling Yaoyao's first time facing her relatives in this world after she transmigrated.
After washing up slowly, Ling Yaoyao looked at the beautiful and unfamiliar face in the bathroom mirror.
The girl in the mirror has a cold and delicate face that is somewhat coquettishly beautiful.
This body has the genes of the Green Star plant people. Although her facial features have the appearance of Chinese people, her hair is light golden, and her beautiful peach eyes are dark with a hint of dark green luster. Her eyes are pure, clear, and mysteriously hooking.
Even in the interstellar era, when genetically optimized beauty is everywhere, this face is at the top level.
Ling Yaoyao touched her face narcissistically and sighed sadly, "It's a pity that she is a coquettish female antagonist, destined to be a dog..."
Originally, Ling Yaoyao was a senior graduate of a prestigious university on the 21st century Earth. With her Chinese language major, coupled with her four-year qualifications as a well-known food blogger, she got a job as an editor of a food magazine.
During her graduation trip, she chose to climb a certain famous mountain. On the steep side of the mountain, Ling Yaoyao fell off to save a little girl who stumbled and almost fell off the fence.
After waking up again, she found that she had become Ling Yaoyao, the coquettish and arrogant female antagonist character with the same name as her in the interstellar novel "The Legend of Huanuo" that she had just finished reading not long ago.
Ling Yaoyao in this world, to celebrate her graduation, played with a group of fox friends and dog friends. They played tricks in the air, but the small heart of the original owner's D-class physique couldn't stand the stimulation and be taken offline early.
In the 21st century, she was an orphan. She lost her parents when she was young. She and her grandmother were dependent on each other, but her grandmother also died in her sophomore year. Her uncle and aunt would probably be very happy that she was gone, rather than allowing her to go back and grab the old restaurant left by her grandmother from her cousin. Except for some good classmates and friends who might feel sad for her for a while, she has no one that would worry about her.
"Legend of Huanuo" is just a very common interstellar novel in the JinJiang City of Literature. The male protagonist, the second prince Xiao Ming, is a guy who is good at pretending. He is a tiger who pretends to be a pig. The heroine Su Qinghe is also very scheming and cannot be bullied. Had it not been for the female antagonist character with the same name as her, which is more beautiful than the heroine, Ling Yaoyao would never force herself to read the novel to the end.
But in this life, she has taken over the original owner's body. With her reliable parents and brother, the only thing she needs to do is to live well. Relying on knowing the plots in the novel, she could try to change the fate of the Ling family.
In the novel, Ling Yaoyao and the heroine fought for a man, and she ended up miserably. Ling Xuan, the Ling family's biggest reliance, was also devastated by a scheme, and the Ling family went into decline from then on.
Fortunately, Ling Yaoyao arrived at a good time. Everything in the story has just begun. The original body was only had a secret crush on Xiao Ming, the second prince of the Huanuo Empire, and had not made everyone aware of it.
She had not defied the heroine while pretending to be Xiao Ming's future girlfriend. She had not repeatedly provoked and made things difficult for the original heroine, Su Qinghe. To rewrite her destiny, she must make a completely different choice from the original owner!
At eight o'clock in the morning, the results of the advanced entrance examination were announced. Ling Yaoyao's academic achievements are not top-notch, but they are also considered very good. Coupled with her SS-level spiritual strength, she could apply for any major. Getting into Huanuo First Military Academy's Auxiliary Therapy College is not a problem.
However, after choosing a major, she needed her guardian's signature and consent for the application to be effective.
Her parents had told Ling Yaoyao in the communication device that they would not arrive home until 12 at noon.
Ling Yaoyao pre-ordered the ingredients and the necessary kitchenware on Star Network in advance and decided to cook in person to show her skill to her parents in this life!
Ling Yaoyao braided her long pale blonde hair, wrapped it on top of her head, and made a fresh and lovely ball head. She changed to neat casual shorts and T-shirts and decently wore the red plaid apron, usually used by the kitchen maid robot.
As a well-known food blogger, Ling Yaoyao has eaten many delicious restaurants and shared many delicious snacks.
Because she learned how to cook with her grandma since she was a child, Ling Yaoyao also has good cooking skills.
As a foodie, in this unfamiliar time and space, if she still wants to eat authentic Chinese delicacies, Ling Yaoyao can only rely on her own hands!
The world has undergone thousands of years of changes from the earth age to the interstellar age.
The taste of food in the interstellar era is not bad, but in the pursuit of fast, convenience, and efficiency, as well as the pursuit of maximum energy absorption, many ancient cooking methods with complicated practices have been long gone.
Fortunately, many of the original mainstream food ingredients still exist. Even for most of the disappeared varieties, she can find substitutes with similar tastes.
Ling Yaoyao was in the kitchen, sniffing and tasting. It took a while to confirm today's lunch menu. They are all her signature home-cooked dishes—beef and tomato, braised pork, broiled golden chicken with mushrooms, fish head and tofu soup, hot and sour potato shreds, green sprouts soup, and a pot of fragrant white rice. The dessert is fried pumpkin balls.
She also made some beverages—A refreshing green bean porridge, and sweet and delicious fruit tea.
Ling Yaoyao rolled up her sleeves and started the food processing methodically.
As the cooking progresses, the entire kitchen emits a strong and appealing food fragrance.
In the courtyard outside the villa, there is a sound of a military vehicle approaching and landing.
Ling Yaoyao glanced at the time. It was only eleven o'clock. Her parents came back early?
The first few meat dishes have been cooked, but she still needs to reduce the sauce over a low fire. She can quickly round the meal with shredded potato and green sprouts soup.
Ling Yaoyao picked up the freshly fried pumpkin balls, put them on a white porcelain plate, poured two cups of iced green bean porridge, and let the maid robot take them to the living room.
And she still needs to continue to make honey fruit tea.
She chose some apples, pears, kumquats, lemons, and strawberries. Then cut them into pieces and put them in a pot. She needs to cook it for ten minutes and finally adds honey when the temperature is slightly cooled.
As Ling Yaoyao put the ingredients into the pot and start boiling, she heard a strange but familiar cold young male voice from outside the kitchen door. With a slight surprise in his tone, he said, "Yaoyao? Is it you?"
The busy girl turned her head and was surprised to see a pair of sharp cold eyes.
At the entrance of the kitchen, stood a tall and handsome man wearing an upright silver-black military uniform. His tough demeanor outlines a cold and perfect face... The man has a cold and domineering masculine tension. And because of his appearance, the spacious kitchen suddenly seems to be cramped.
In her whole life, Ling Yaoyao had never seen such a good-looking man! The superb facial features are even better than those popular stars who rely on their faces to make a living!
The only thing that doesn't match the man's cool, handsome, and domineering temperament is the familiar cup of green bean porridge in his hand.
Ling Yaoyao widened her eyes slightly and cautiously called, "Big Brother?"

No one else can appear in the main house of the Ling family, apart from her nominal eldest brother, Ling Xuan, who has such a dreadful face and shocking momentum!
The first genius of the Huanuo Empire, with his SSS-level physique and unmatched talent, he became the youngest major general in the empire. He has the reputation of being an undefeated God of War!
This man is so powerful that everyone is afraid and jealous!
For him, even the three princes who want to fight for imperial power are trying to win over the Ling family as much as possible!
Seeing the cold and domineering Ling Xuan in front of her, Ling Yaoyao's heart boiled with enthusiasm. Other than making sure that she did not take the initiative to die by drawing a line with the three Xiao family's brothers, she also had to hug her big brother's golden thighs.
As long as Ling Xuan is around, the Ling family will not fall!
Although Ling Xuan is not close to his adopted sister, he protects her shortcomings very much. After Ling Yaoyao's mental breakdown in the original novel, Ling Xuan, an older brother who usually doesn't have much contact with her, stepped forward to avenge her... This kind of good brother is really hard to find.
The cute and beautiful girl with a brilliant smile on her face rushed over very enthusiastically. She hugged Ling Xuan's arm that was not holding the cup, and turned on the coquettish mode. Her sweet voice was cute and soft, "Brother, why did you come back suddenly? I haven't received any news from you before!"
Ling Xuan has been stationed at the border star to fight the Zergs and has not returned home for three years.
Their age difference was twelve years old. When Ling Yaoyao was brought back by his parents, he was already a middle school student. He didn't know how to get along with a weak baby girl. Ling Yaoyao has admired him since she was a child. However, she has always been a little afraid of him. The relationship between brother and sister is a bit weak.
For Ling Yaoyao's sudden intimacy, Ling Xuan, who had never been in such close contact with the opposite sex, was very uncomfortable. He calmly withdrew his arm.
He whispered, "Secret mission. Need to come back for a few days."
Ling Xuan was very surprised that her always arrogant and wayward little sister could actually cook. The scent of food lingering on the tip of his nose is not the kind made by a robot. It is very fragrant and attractive.
From the report of the smart housekeeper, Amber, Ling Xuan just learned that Ling Yaoyao's senior entrance exam results came out today. As she wants to apply for college, his parents will come back.
He looked at the girl who had grown a lot taller in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Since when can you cook? Are you in trouble? Or is there something wrong?"
Ling Yaoyao looked at her hand being thrown away. This God of War brother was a bit cold! But for Ling Yaoyao, this is nothing at all!
She hugged his arm up again without minding his cold behavior, smiling and boasting shamelessly, "Brother, why do you think this way? How can I get into trouble? I'm so good!"
It was also Ling Yaoyao's first time being so intimate with a man, but because she regarded Ling Xuan as an older brother, she was not uncomfortable at all.
She had hoped for an older brother since she was a child. She didn't have it in her previous life but had it in this life. Of course, she has to work hard to get close!
In the original novel, Ling Yaoyao's eldest brother, Ling Xuan, was only mentioned very little. He is not good at words and he usually doesn't care much about Ling Yaoyao. His occasional dialogue was only a commanding statement.
However, after the original owner was framed and her spiritual realm was destroyed in the novel, Ling Xuan vowed never to give up on avenging the original owner. He would provoke the second prince, Xiao Ming, to the point that he joins forces with his opponent, the first prince, to deal with Ling Xuan.
As an older brother, Ling Xuan is so cool!

In this life, she has replaced Ling Yaoyao as Ling Xuan's sister. She will never let her elder brother be framed to death!
After a pause, Ling Yaoyao pretended to be mysterious and continued, "As for what I want to do, I will tell you later! Brother, you have to help me to speak after you have eaten the dishes I made!"
Ling Xuan glanced at his left arm that was hugged by the little girl again. Under the thin cloth barrier, he felt the soft touch of a certain part and the faint fragrance of the girl's light body...
Maybe they had not met for too long, so the little girl uses this intimate way to express her welcome to him.
Ling Xuan took a sip of the green bean porridge, concealing his discomfort, and said lightly, "This dessert drink is okay. I will see what's going on. Just keep busy!"
As he said this, he pulled his arm back and walked out of the kitchen.
The soul of bro-con burns flamingly. Ling Yaoyao held her face very idiotically and muttered in a low voice, "Hey, brother. Is he this shy? How cute!"
Ling Xuan, who had walked several meters ahead, paused suspiciously and then walked faster.

Translator Notes:
1. There are so many food mentioned in this chapter, but mostly are just homely dishes. I'll just put a video of the ones in the title.
Green (Mung) Bean Porridge - Who knows what sort of alien creature called green bean in the interstellar age. I'll just assume it's Mung Bean.

Pumpkin Balls
2. The Zergs are terrifying biologically advanced giant alien insects. The term came from the game "Starcraft." They are a common enemy in a lot of interstellar novels and are usually depicted as low intelligence, mindless beasts which are connected to a "hive-mind" or a "command entity". They are also usually depicted to come in a tide which will eat everything in their path, like a swarm of oversized locusts.
