I am a Chef in the Modern Era

Summary of the I am a Chef in the Modern Era

You know those stories where someone gets a fresh start? Like Lin Shu Yi did. He was dragged down by shadows from his last life – betrayed, wrongly accused of some heinous crime against the Emperor, and staring at his own inevitable end under a swirling snowstorm outside that old building. All for something he didn't do.

He muttered something to himself before he died... "This is for the best?" Maybe even said it sarcastically while missing the simple comfort of roast chicken, cooked properly this time around? He never knew.

Then BAM! Woke up different. Teenager's body, completely baffled by where he was or how he got there – past life stuff felt like a dream now, just... gone. Lost in translation entirely.

But here's something weird that stuck with him through the confusion: cooking. It became his anchor point, the one constant he discovered wouldn't change no matter what century you jumped into. So maybe, *maybe* this was his chance? A new beginning where he could finally cook for a living?

And sure enough, stumbling upon an old man running a little place... a small restaurant! Talk about finding your tribe in unexpected places.

So now cooking isn't just a promise whispered before death; it feels like destiny. He's got the drive, maybe some accidental skill from past life vibes (even if he doesn't remember why), and this new world to explore through his kitchen door.

"I Am A Chef In The Modern Era" – that title seems fitting somehow, even if the path hasn't been entirely smooth.
