On a rainy night in Chang’an, I, Zhou Xiaoman, a food delivery rider, accidentally stumble into the fourteenth year of Tianbao. The System forces me to deliver taro milk tea to Yang Guifei within 24 hours, or I’ll be stuck in the Tang dynasty forever.
To save up for a ticket home, I deliver mango sago to the Lady of Guo and osmanthus wine to Li Bai. Business is booming, until a rival known as “An Lushan’s Deer” steals my orders. He delivers three thousand “rebellion combo meals” in one go, and turns out to be me, five years in the future!
With a triple combo of poisoned drinks, fire attacks, and laxatives, I send An Lushan tumbling into the latrine and put Chang’an back on track. In the end, I shut down the time-space passage and stay in the Tang dynasty to open Zhou’s Ice Cream Shop with the consort as my partner, turning the An Lushan Rebellion into the “An Lushan Late.”
One cup of milk tea saves the world. Who says food delivery can’t change history?
