Gu Lan, a menial disciple in the Qi Refining stage, runs into Mu Xuan'er, the top-ranked female emperor in the game, at Soulbreak Cliff. She's doing a System quest and is forced to show off. Thanks to the System's quirks, Gu Lan mistakes her forced display for “a master giving pointers” and breaks through from Qi Refining to the peak of Foundation Establishment on the spot. Mu Xuan'er, meanwhile, mistakes Gu Lan's abnormal breakthrough for “a hidden old monster playing the pig to eat the tiger.” The two fall into an endless cycle of misreading each other as hidden experts. From then on, Gu Lan follows Mu Xuan'er everywhere, calling her “Master,” from the game world to the real world. They tear apart the Demon Venerable, hijack the city's Wi-Fi, buy a luxury penthouse for thirty yuan, snap up luxury goods at Taikoo Li for two yuan, use the moon as a desk lamp, make a popular streamer with ten million followers work as a menial disciple washing socks, and get the Immortal Emperors to line up in the back garden and dance the hand-flapping craze... Through a series of utterly absurd antics, one is responsible for invincible flights of imagination and the other for lazy victories. Together, they turn the modern city and the Myriad Worlds into their own backyard.
