The night Tang Ning's milk tea shop went under, the creditors pounded on the door so hard the whole place shook.
She clutched a box of unsold tapioca pearls and taro balls. Her vision went black.
When she opened her eyes again...
A sky full of yellow sand, two overlapping moons, and a barren wasteland in ruins.
A cold electronic voice sounded in her mind: "Suitable business location detected. Milk Tea Shop Management System successfully bound."
"Please complete the beginner's mission within 24 hours."
In the middle of her panic, Tang Ning rescued a beautiful woman from the ruins.
Her slender figure showed through her tattered clothes. The dirt on her face only made her more captivating, especially her eyes, like the brightest star in the galaxy.
One warm cup of milk tea and a night's shelter helped Tang Ning through her crisis.
A few days later, the silent woman returned without warning and crouched outside her dilapidated shop. Tang Ning looked at the strange seeds the System had rewarded her with, which desperately needed someone to tend them, then held out a hand, eyes shining.
"Don't just crouch there. From now on, I'll support you by shaking milk tea!"

From hand-shaken milk tea to the pillar industry of a desolate planet, they built the little shop into a thriving business.
Yun Sa went from clumsy to skilled, becoming indispensable to the shop.
Until one day, she vanished without a trace.
Before Tang Ning could get over her sadness, the news shook the stars: General Lu Yun Sa, the Federation's God of War, missing for years, had made a powerful return.
Then a starship bearing the Federation's highest insignia landed in the backyard of the little shop.
Yun Sa, resplendent in her military uniform, walked toward her, familiar warmth in her eyes. "I've brought the ingredients, logistics, and interstellar licenses you wanted."
Tang Ning was too stunned to speak.
Yun Sa raised an eyebrow and stepped closer. "Didn't you say you'd support me for the rest of my life?"
