[Running a business across worlds + a healing ensemble cast + two powerful partners + friends to lovers]
For a limited-edition outfit in a game, Ning Wanwan and Fu Yaofeng, her longtime fixed teammate of six years, had just bound themselves as “chivalrous partners.” The next second, they were thrown, characters and all, into a run-down inn in another world.
They had no money and no guests. The roof leaked, there was an injured person outside who needed saving, and a cat System kept urging them to open for business.
Ning Wanwan got cooking, set prices, balanced the books, and laid down the rules. Fu Yaofeng repaired the inn, kept it safe, and followed up on clues. She organized the chaos into neat accounts, while he guarded the doors and windows. Their six years of online teamwork became their best chance of survival in another world.
From then on, even martial arts grandmasters had to pay a deposit to stay. Immortal-sect elders had to pay for any furniture they broke. Demon kings had to check in their weapons at the door, and even apocalypse survivors could earn a hot meal through hard work.
The guests they took in came from different worlds: disciples cast aside by their sects, wandering spirits with nowhere to rest, and ordinary people who had lost their homes. Some set out on the road again after a meal, while others chose to stay and found the life they truly wanted at the inn.
But as the inn continued to grow, Ning Wanwan gradually realized their transmigration had not been an accident.
Where had the previous Host gone? Why were the myriad worlds falling into disorder? And why had that hastily formed “chivalrous partnership” chosen them in particular?
And the person who always understood what she left unsaid, and trusted her enough to put his back in her hands, seemed to have long since become more than a friend.
No matter which world they were in, the inn was open for business as usual today.
