The greatest martial sage in the world, Sun Jinglan, has retired from the jianghu and wants nothing more than to cook a bowl of plain noodles.
But Shen Jingxin, the new dynasty's foremost strategist, comes to his door carrying a secret decree from the late emperor.
She can't even fight, yet dares to stop him all by herself. “Please come out of retirement and save the country, Martial Sage.”
Sun Jinglan: “No.”
Shen Jingxin smiles. “Then this humble woman will have to stand in front of your noodle shop every day and tell everyone how you once held back three armies all by yourself.”
Sun Jinglan: “...Fine, I'll go!”
From then on, the Martial Sage, who only wanted to take it easy, is thoroughly put to work:
She has him pose as a coachman for a feint in the north, serve as her bodyguard against political plots, and act as bait when his identity is exposed.
Sun Jinglan finally draws his sword in exasperation. “I thought I was only supposed to show my face!”
Shen Jingxin gently presses his blade down, smiling sweetly.
“Husband, the capable should do more. I'll make the noodles tonight.”
