Lin Yi died.
Not in some dramatic way, just an ordinary all-nighter followed by an ordinary sudden death.
Luckily, the System gave him a second chance: go back to the Northern Song, open a teahouse, and stay alive.
The price: complete one mission every month.
And so, a strange little shop appeared in eastern Bianjing: it sold tea by day and took requests by night.
Martial artists came to him when they lost something, gangs came to him to settle disputes, and even the old Wang family next door came to him when their chicken went missing.
Lin Yi had planned to coast through life like this, until one day the imperial court suddenly moved against the Chai family.
He went home and glanced at his wife, who was drinking tea.
She blinked. “I forgot to mention, I might be… a member of the Later Zhou imperial family.”
Lin Yi: ?
System notification: This month’s mission has been updated: [Protect your wife’s entire family].
Lin Yi: …You’re all in on this together, aren’t you?
