(T/N: Crematorium Trope is the type of novel when the Male Lead treats the Female Lead badly until the Female Lead has enough, and packs up and leaves. Then the Male Lead regrets it, changes his ways, and grovels, trying to get back the Female Lead and make up to her.)
When Mingting woke up, he found himself locked in a room with an unpleasant smell.
When he saw his small hand, he was a little confused.
‘Is it a child this time?’
Mingting glanced around the room. There were more than a dozen children lay sprawled on the floor. The oldest was about six or seven years old, and the youngest was no more than three or four.
Aside from Mingting, everyone else was unconscious.
After receiving the plot, Mingting was furious.
‘I hate human traffickers the most! I’m going to kill them all!’
This time, the wish-maker was a Supporting Male Character in this small world, Lu Mingting.
The Lu Family’s ancestors had once been imperial chefs. His grandfather started a catering business in the early 1980s, founding ‘Shi Fu’, which is now a leading name in the culinary industry.
Lu Mingting was kidnapped at the age of four. When he was finally found and returned home at eighteen, he discovered that his parents had replaced him with another boy… the Male Lead of this small world, Lu Minghua.
Though Lu Mingting was the real young master, no one in the family cared about him. When he was kidnapped, his tongue had been mutilated by the traffickers, affecting his speech and sense of taste.
The Lu Family was in the food business, but he couldn’t even taste flavors properly… how could he inherit the Lu Family’s culinary legacy?
On the contrary, the fake young master, Lu Minghua, had an exceptionally sharp palate, earning high praise from even Grandpa Lu.
Lu Mingting’s parents, which prioritized the family business, favored Lu Minghua over their own son.
Lu Mingting, who was originally feeling insecure because of his slurred speech, could not feel any warmth at home.
He was disliked by his biological parents, and even the servants believed Lu Minghua was the true heir to the Lu Family’s culinary arts.
Although Lu Mingting envied Lu Minghua, he never did anything extreme.
His future was already arranged by Grandpa Lu. He was to marry into a suitable family, father a child with a good sense of taste, and pass the Lu Family’s legacy to the next generation.
Although Grandpa Lu was fond of Lu Minghua, the imperial cuisine passed down through his family couldn’t truly be inherited by an outsider with no blood relation.
Therefore, he arranged a marriage for his biological grandson with the well-matched young lady of the Miao family, Miao Rui.
Unfortunately, Miao Rui was in love with Lu Minghua, and the two had secretly entered a relationship.
Lu Minghua, having grown up in the Lu Family, was skilled in schemes and tactics.
On the surface, he treated Lu Mingting well, but behind the scenes, he stirred up trouble, isolating Lu Mingting and making the Lu parents dislike their own son.
Miao Rui also protested to her family, demanding to change the arranged marriage partner.
As the only daughter of the Miao Family, Miao Rui was deeply doted on.
Seeing that his daughter insisted, Mr. Miao proactively canceled the engagement. Even though the Miao Family provided ample compensation, Lu Mingting still became a laughingstock.
Perhaps because he had done too many bad things, the fake young master fell ill at 22 and needed a bone marrow transplant. It just so happened that Lu Mingting's bone marrow was very suitable for him.
In order to get Lu Mingting to agree to donate his marrow, Miao Rui approached him, and offered marriage as an exchange.
Lu Mingting had always liked Miao Rui. He donated his marrow and married her. But as soon as they got married, Miao Rui moved out, living with her parents and never treating him as her husband.
Within two years, Lu Minghua also had kidney problems, and Miao Rui used the same method to negotiate with Lu Mingting.
At this time, Lu Mingting had already realized Miao Rui didn’t love him and outright refused.
Not long after, the feud between the real and fake young masters of the wealthy family was exposed online.
Someone posted a photo of Lu Minghua lying pale and weak in his hospital bed. Many people sympathized with him and accused Lu Mingting of being heartless.
Even his own biological parents pressured him to donate a kidney to their adopted son.
Lu Mingting yearned for familial and romantic love, but he wasn’t a fool and firmly refused.
With heartless parents and an indifferent wife, Lu Mingting felt frustrated and miserable. He drove out to clear his mind but was pursued by paparazzi.
While evading them, he got into a rear-end collision and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
As a result, Lu Mingting died on the operating table, and his kidney saved Lu Minghua's life.
In the end, Lu Minghua married Miao Rui, and the Male and Female Leads lived happily ever after.
Lu Mingting’s death made the Male Lead reflect on his past wrongdoings. Filled with regret, he named his child ‘Tingsheng’ in memory of the Supporting Male Character.
"Go to hell! Tingsheng? What kind of name is that to disgust people? If I were the Supporting Male Character, I’d crawl out of my coffin in disgust!"
Mingting was nearly sickened by the Male and Female Leads’ shameless antics.
The Supporting Male Character has two wishes. One, love and family affection are all bullshit! He has seen through the world and wants to become a monk!
[Boss, this is really asking a bit too much.]
Fengtian laughed awkwardly.
‘Become a monk?’
Mingting found it quite novel. He had never been a monk before. Trying out a different identity might be interesting, so he accepted this one.
The second wish of the Supporting Male Character was to let the people in the entire country know that his cooking was delicious.
Though a section of his tongue was missing, it was not that he could not taste anything. He could still cook and the dishes he cooked were quite delicious.
Because of this, Grandpa Lu was deeply regretful. He believed that if his grandson's tongue had been intact, he could have elevated the Lu Family’s cuisine to new heights.
Mingting was a little confused, so he asked Fengtian.
‘Given the wish-maker’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t let the human traffickers who abducted him off the hook. Why wasn’t that mentioned in his wishes?’
Fengtian gave an answer to this.
[The wish-maker said that you hate evil passionately and will definitely avenge him.]
Now, Mingting had just transmigrated to the moment the Supporting Male Character was abducted.
‘What could a 4-year-old toddler do?’ Mingting thought for a moment, then took out a big apple from his space and started munching on it.
He also checked the other children in the room. Their unconsciousness was just due to some drugged inhalation, which wouldn’t harm their bodies.
During the inspection, Mingting also discovered something interesting.
He saw a familiar face, the Female Lead, Miao Rui.
The Supporting Male Character liked Miao Rui because they had been abducted together as children. Though the Female Lead didn’t remember, Lu Mingting recalled it clearly.
And the reason his tongue was mutilated by the traffickers was also because of Miao Rui.
At that time, several children were packed into a car to be transported elsewhere. Only the Supporting Male Character and the Female Lead woke up early.
When the traffickers stopped in a town to buy cigarettes, Lu Mingting grabbed Miao Rui’s hand, jumped out of the car, and ran while screaming for help.
As the trafficker was about to catch them, Lu Mingting pushed Miao Rui away, urging her to run while he clung to the trafficker’s leg and bit down hard.
As a result, Miao Rui was rescued by passersby and taken to the police station, while Lu Mingting had his tongue mutilated by the furious trafficker.
Miao Rui had completely forgotten about this incident, but years later, during a blind date, the Supporting Male Character recognized her at a glance.
At this time, seeing the little Female Lead, Mingting whistled.
He wasn’t big-hearted, so he would not sacrifice himself for others like the Supporting Male Character!
