Xiao Chen, a top modern history student, transmigrated into the Tang dynasty during the Tianbao era and became the owner of a failing tavern in Chang'an. With the An Lushan Rebellion on the horizon, the imperial court was fraught with intrigue and the borderlands beset by danger. At the brink of life and death, he activated the [Heavenly Dao Shop System].
This tavern was no ordinary establishment. As long as Xiao Chen could attract nobles, officials, and extraordinary talents to spend money and fulfill their "hidden needs," he would earn rewards, upgrade the tavern, and unlock all manner of god-tier skills and items.
From then on, Xiao Chen's Yuelai Inn became the most mysterious place in the Tang dynasty.

Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai... One historical figure after another became a regular. Xiao Chen used his tavern as a game board and the realm as his chessboard, stirring up court politics over drinks, building a business empire, and establishing an underground dynasty. When the An Lushan Rebellion broke out and everyone believed the Tang dynasty was doomed, Xiao Chen had already laid his web of traps and was manipulating everything from behind the scenes. With laughter and conversation, enemy ships turned to ash.
