- Synopsis
- Mengyuan is an ambitious entrepreneur with an unquenchable thirst for adventure and treasure hunting. He becomes fixated on a legendary tale of silver hidden deep within an ancient mountain range, believed to be the key to immense wealth. Obsessed with this elusive treasure, he embarks on a daring quest to uncover the silver's secrets.
  However, fate has a different plan for Mengyuan. During an unexpected turn of events, he finds himself transported back in time to the heart of ancient China, a time of emperors, dynasties, and hidden intrigues. Disoriented and lost, Mengyuan stumbles upon a web of deceit involving two high council members of the reigning emperor, one of whom is stealing the emperor's silver reserves to mint his own currency, destabilizing the empire.
  Drawing on his 21st-century intelligence, Mengyuan realizes that he must adapt to this unfamiliar world quickly to survive and achieve his goals. Seizing an opportunity, he decides to start a revolutionary BBQ business, using techniques and flavors from his own time. Soon, his culinary skills capture the attention of both commoners and the emperor himself, who is astonished by the mouthwatering delicacies that Mengyuan serves.
  As Mengyuan's BBQ business gains popularity, he uses his newfound influence to discreetly investigate the silver theft and counterfeiting operation. Along the way, he forms unexpected alliances with both the imperial military and local villagers who are equally determined to unmask the culprits behind the empire's financial woes.
  "Mengyuans Strange Fate" is a gripping tale of time travel, culinary innovation, and a man's quest to right the wrongs of the past, all while tantalizing the reader's senses with the aroma of sizzling barbecue. Will Mengyuan's modern-day intelligence and unconventional skills be enough to solve the mystery, save the empire, and secure the elusive silver treasure for himself, or will he be trapped forever in the past he never intended to visit?
