Actor Travels to Famine Year: Building an Empire with the Food System

share time: 2025-11-08 00:31:28

Top actor Gu Jingchuan accidentally travels to an ancient famine year through a “time-traveling braised pork” while filming a food drama—possessing a fat scholar mocked as “pig scholar” by villagers, who can’t even squeeze into the latrine door and is being forced out of his ancestral home by a greedy widow trying to steal his property. Awakening the “Food Exchange System”, he discovers: every pound he loses earns him an instant noodle pack or a hot pot base! To survive and prove himself, Gu Jingchuan runs himself ragged to lose weight, slimming down to a handsome young man in three months and tossing the widow’s luggage out. He then uses the system’s milk tea to open “Fairy Taste Shop”—a cup of bubble tea makes the county magistrate’s concubine climb walls to buy it; he uses instant noodles to make “life-saving noodles” that make a starving old hunter kneel and call him “immortal”. His business grows from a street stall to a capital chain, but just as he’s about to monopolize the grain trade, the widow returns with a Taoist priest, accusing him of “stealing mortal fortune with sorcery”. The system suddenly pops up a red alert: “Exchange limit exceeded—complete the ‘save 100 hungry people’ sincerity mission”. How will Gu Jingchuan fight the frame-up while using “sincerity” to get the system back?
