One day, trapped inside a game, max-level expert Liu Qingci is forced to start a new life running a business.
Outside Valley of the Wicked stands the No-Return Inn.
Rumor has it the innkeeper, Liu Qingci, is a mysterious and ruthless woman.
One moment, she is stir-frying with priceless immortal herbs; the next, a few silver needles have crippled a demon lord's cultivation.
Whether you're the leader of the righteous path or the supreme ruler of an evil sect, once you enter this door, you follow her rules.
“Can't pay for your meal? Fine, trade me your secret martial arts technique.”
“Want to find out where I came from? Sure. First, try this ‘Heartbreak Herb’ and tell me how it tastes.”
The once lofty Grandmaster of the Medicine King Sect is now a greedy black-hearted innkeeper.
All she wants is to make money in peace and open branches of her inn across the Nine Provinces.
So why are her customers starting to look at her so strangely?
Hey, I'm just a cook. Can you martial arts bigwigs stop trying to carry me off with the whole kitchen?
