eighteen the kitchen

"I've destroyed your face. Let's see how you'll seduce men now!" "I want to pluck all your hair too. Let's see how you'll seduce other married men!" The woman screamed while she cut off Mei Shu's hair. She then directly stabbed the scissors into her head and put an end to her pitiful life. Mei Shu had already been bedridden for over ten years. Her face was practically unrecognizable. Her four younger brothers were either injured, crippled, sick, or barely alive. This was all thanks to the woman next to her bed. Many years ago, Mei Shu's mother died in a car accident. Not long after that, her stepmother moved in with her stepsister, Mei Mu. Mei Shu's stepmother found a way to send Mei Shu to the countryside. After that, Mei Shu's stepmother and stepsister slowly took over all the Mei family's possessions. When Mei Shu was about to turn eighteen, they brought her home. The only reason they did that was to acquire the inheritance her mother left behind. After that, they kept plotting and scheming against her. They sowed discord between Mei Shu and her four younger brothers. Until the day Mei Shu died in the hospital, her brothers still had no idea she wasn't the one who started the fire that ruined their lives. After dying, Mei Shu refused to move on. She reincarnated to the time she was seventeen with her own system. She wanted to change her fate and rescue her brothers! In their previous lifetime, she and her brothers treated each other like enemies. In this lifetime... "Mei Shu, I'll do anything you tell me to," her first brother said. "Who dares to bully my sister?" Her second brother asked. "Mei Shu belongs to me!" Her third brother exclaimed. "Do you wish to marry my sister? Let's see if you have what it takes!" Her fourth brother uttered. [System: Quest completed! You'll be rewarded with a husband!"

# luckyblessing # regulardrama When a gas tank exploded, Jian Qingqing transmigrated into the body of a little girl who had just died of starvation. Looking at the skinny, starving family living in a worn-down house that did little to shield them from the rainstorm outside, Jian Qingqing felt that she would soon die again. But she hadn’t expected her kitchen to follow her through time. Looking at the abundance of supplies in it, Jian Qingqing’s eyes lit up. Great! She wasn’t going to die this time! Using the supplies in the kitchen, Jian Qingqing led her family as they opened up the land for farming and building houses. Unexpectedly, the high-yield grains led the entire country out of poverty. Everyone praised Miss Jian as a God that had descended to earth! She developed a method to process coarse salt into fine salt so that people could eat it with ease. The Emperor's face was filled with tears as he said, "Miss Jian is really my lucky star!" In the end, the whole world was unified and shouted, “All of this is due to Miss Jian’s hard work!” Jian Qingqing said, "I just like to grow crops. I didn’t do anything!" After her success, Jian Qingqing planned to find a nice, obedient husband to bring home. But what was up with the legendary prince who was ruthless, indifferent, and could stop children from crying? Why was he always appearing beside her? Ming Zhiyan said, "I’m nice and obedient. Why don’t you marry me, Qingqing?" Looking at the man who was clearly a wolf pretending to be an obedient dog, Jian Qingqing fell into deep thought.

In order to be loved, she changed her whole personality, but all she got in return was a cold husband and her unrequited feelings. Now that she lost her memories and went back to her old self, she's determined to never love again. She wouldn't let anyone trample on her anymore. But then, why is her husband coming back around again - turning over a new leaf and wanting to take her back so desperately? "You should know well by now, my beloved wife. Didn't you change yourself for love...?" he muttered vehemently, voice low and smoky. His unwavering eyes are blazing with passion and a deep sense of endearment that she'd never seen before. This isn't her husband at all - instead of cold, his gaze appears to be on fire. "The same goes for me... So, love me, love me not - you're going to take responsibility." --- Impassive, strait-laced, stiff and very compliant - that's how everyone sees Cassidy Eleanor. She's an underdog wife who's desperate to gain her husband's affection and would even sacrifice her own freedom. Coming from an unknown background, she was neglected by her spouse, persecuted by his family, and misjudged in her workplace. That's all until it came to a point when she already had enough. In an effort to flee from the clutches of a loveless marriage and all the obligations that were forced on her, she got herself a ticket and boarded a plane. Little did she know that a bombing incident would ultimately ruin her plan to start anew. Then, before she knew it, she woke up to find herself with a type of amnesia that caused her to forget everything that happened to her when she's past the age of eighteen-years-old. To be exact, Cassidy had gone back to her old self - right before she met her husband, Adrian Millicent. --- Cold, distant, steely and iron-willed - that's how everyone sees the owner of the country's richest conglomerate. Adrian is known to be a prodigious figure in a variety of fields and commerce, a prestigious individual with billions of assets, and a man of outstanding achievements overall. He used to be the most-sought-after bachelor of the country, but only to get in an arranged marriage by his grandparent - with a woman of unknown origin, to boot. He really couldn't care less, though. After all, he never needed love to begin with. That's all until Adrian found this reserved and amenable wife of his acting like a wild and boisterous teenage girl one day. -- WFP #23 Gold Tier Winner -- [Warning: Mature Content] (Cover Photo Not Mine: Credits to the original artist) - Follow me on Instagram (acieetin) - DM me on Discord (Aciee#1841)

HELL'S KITCHEN IS RETURNING, SPRING OF 2026. STAY TUNED! Meet Chef Victor Delacroix, a culinary genius with a chilling secret! By night, he was known as "The Butcher", a ruthless serial killer and assassin wielding a blood-stained meat cleaver. His grotesque talent? He gains the abilities and attributes of whatever – or whomever – he eats. This macabre skill set made him one of the most feared figures in the criminal underworld. Fed up with his gruesome life of crime, Victor decides to vanish from the radar and start fresh. He moves to the capital and opens an exclusive restaurant called "Hell's Kitchen." His dishes are unparalleled, attracting an elite clientele: the wealthy, the corrupt, and the morally bankrupt, each harboring their own dark tastes... In Hell's Kitchen, every dish tells a story, and every meal is an experience - often literally a slice of life. Yet, his patrons are blissfully unaware of Victor’s true identity as The Butcher, concealed behind the charming facade of a master chef. As Victor tries to carve out a new existence, the ghosts of his past start to close in. Sinister patrons with dangerous appetites, old enemies seeking revenge, and the lure of his own monstrous cravings threaten to drag him back into the abyss. The line between his dual lives blurs, and each night becomes a battle to keep his sinister nature at bay. "Hell's Kitchen" is a twisted tale of redemption and temptation, where humanity and monstrosity collide. In a world where darkness is served on a silver platter, can Victor ever truly escape his blood-soaked past, or will the shadows consume him once again?

In a world where strength is measured not by spirit energy but by sauce technique, spice resonance, and culinary cultivation, one young man dares to stir the pot—literally. Lin Feng, an undercooked rookie with a mysterious flame spoon and a dangerously experimental taste palate, accidentally fries a sacred rice field and gets banished from his village’s kitchen! Now, with nothing but his frying pan, an attitude, and a highly suspicious duck companion, Lin Feng embarks on a journey to become the Supreme Flavor Sage. Along the way, he meets Jia Yun, a fierce, no-nonsense stir-fry specialist with sarcasm sharper than a chef’s knife. Together, they battle spice-wielding warlords, rogue noodle cultivators, and one guy possessed by a Phantom Pepper. But the culinary world hides darker secrets: the forbidden Condiment Clans, the extinct Flame Council, and the mythical realm known only as the Sauce Beyond Sauce. With every battle, Lin Feng’s recipes grow stronger—along with his friendships, rivalries, and duck-based trauma. But beware: in this world, if you can’t take the heat… you're getting tossed out of the wok.

“You’re eighteen now?” he whispers, his fingers brushing her lips. “Then don’t run from me this time.” Elara thought the kiss was nothing serious, just a silly dare with a dangerously handsome stranger in a bar. One kiss. One moment. Yet neither of them could forget it. The next day, that same stranger walks into her house… His name is Anderson. Her stepbrother-to-be. Her new teacher. Her first mistake… and the one she wants to make again. He tells her to stay away. He tells her they crossed a line. He says it can never happen again. But the minute Elara turns eighteen, everything changes. His control cracks. His jealousy burns. And the boy who once told her “no”… starts kissing her like she already belongs in his bed. Dangerous. Forbidden. Addictive. Some lines aren’t meant to be crossed, but he’s ready to cross every single one for her.

Zhao Feng transmigrated into a parallel world and became a product livestreamer. For a whole week, he promoted kitchen knives, but for six days, no one showed any interest. Not only that, the viewers in his livestream room mocked him, claiming that everything he sold was garbage. Unable to tolerate this, Zhao Feng couldn't hold back his anger anymore. In front of hundreds of viewers in the livestream room, he pulled out a military shovel and said, "You all said my stuff is garbage, right? Well, now I'm going to show you whether it's garbage or not." "Clang! Clang! Clang..." The kitchen knife struck against the military shovel and created countless sparks, silencing the whole livestream room. After a while, the screen was bombarded with numerous bullet comments. "What the hell? Who taught you to test a kitchen knife like that?" "This is insane! Such a good kitchen knife might end up ruined!" "They asked you to test the kitchen knife, and you used it to strike a military shovel? That's just crazy!" Gradually, news of Zhao Feng's eccentric testing method spread online, causing a huge sensation. Suddenly, he went viral and became incredibly popular. Not only that, but people also discovered that this livestreamer not only had a ruthless way of testing products but also exposed the behind-the-scenes secrets of the entire product-livestreaming industry.

Adult concept dealing with moral ethics and tradition. It is aimed at hitting core beliefs and developing relationships. Unfortunately, there is no book jacket as of yet; however, I can offer this: Picture a large ranch remodeled to house mental patients who were given insulin-injected therapy. It also involves mortuary cannibalism and Kuru. As of yet, Soup Kitchen is not finished, so it will be entered in sectional increments. I hope that you will find this a thought-provoking concept. The story's aim is to try to get you, dear reader, to wonder when does what one would consider morally unethical gets lost in the beauty of tradition...? Please know, that this project was started a few years ago. Page wise, it's about 115 of a Word document with a word count close to 80,000. I look forward to insight as it gets a critical go-over by me. Bwa, ha, ha... I apologize for the vague description. It's easier for me to just ask that one reads it, and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully yours, -Jenn :)
