Su Ti, Chang'an's finest maker of sweet steamed milk curds, was sent back to her parents' home with a letter of divorce after her husband tried to curry favor with the powerful. She thought she was destined for a life of hardship, but then she activated a Life Skills Proficiency Panel, which automatically improved her skills in cooking, bookkeeping, embroidery, and more with repeated use. She set up a tea stall at the entrance to an alley, and her effortless, cheat-like skills quickly made her famous around the neighborhood. She also unexpectedly became acquainted with Pei Yan, the silly owner of a teahouse who kept showing up to mooch tea. From her ex-husband mocking her for being unable to live without a man, to a princess paying a fortune for her sugar-painted "Hundred Views of Chang'an"; from having her stall smashed by rivals to opening the three-story Su Lao Ge, Su Ti easily turned her life around while lying flat. And Pei Yan, who was always saying, "I'll argue with them for you," began to show his true feelings amid all the chaos.
