Yu Yutu, a woman, and one of the unluckiest people alive.
Yu, born in the 21st century, worked hard through twelve years of school. A week after finishing her college entrance exams, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
She struggled to survive for six months, but in the end, she died.
When she opened her eyes again, the peaceful, friendly 21st century was gone, replaced by a primordial world where it was kill or be killed.
After painstakingly growing up all over again, the fearsome "Lord Yutu" went into her usual closed-door slumber, only to be inexplicably woken up by suffocation.
When she crawled out, she discovered she'd slept straight through to the 21st century again!
Good news: I'm back!
Bad news: I'm about to kick the bucket!
To survive, Yu Yutu takes a few "young ones" with her and transmigrates through three thousand worlds, looking for one where they can settle down.
After greeting the world's consciousness and securing legal permission to stay, Yu Yutu lands and realizes...
Oh, this is a martial arts world.
"Might as well open a shop. I've got nothing better to do."
"Huodou, go start a fire in the kitchen. Xuyuan, feed the horses in the courtyard. Xingxing, set up a booth in the main hall and tell stories. As for the merfolk... go wash dishes in the courtyard!"
"Get moving, get moving! Nobody's getting out of this! Everyone's going to work!"

A strange rumor has recently been spreading through the martial world:
A peculiar inn has opened in Bianjing.
A beautiful woman is the innkeeper, a hulking man is the bookkeeper, there's a storyteller no one ever sees, and the waitstaff are an odd bunch. Three or five of the runners are also remarkably skilled...
Unheard-of delicacies change every day, fine wines flow like nectar, and the comfortable, convenient rooms make guests loath to leave...
But there's one thing to remember: never damage anything in the inn.
The dashing Chu Xiangshuai went in on the coldest day of winter, but for some reason his complexion grew darker and darker!
The rakish man with four eyebrows can always be seen here in the height of summer and the depths of winter, leaning by a second-floor window with a wine cup in hand, swaying and shaking his head!
The Jiangnan Hua family, whose business spans the world, sends a steady stream of rare treasures every few days!
There's also the four famous constables of the Divine Constabulary, Zhan the Cat of Kaifeng Prefecture, the Five Mice of Xiankong Island, the scorpion beauty of Miaojiang...
There's even a rumor that the emperor himself once visited in disguise!
"Why does nobody mention how that ruthless innkeeper has crushed so many people's throats without even blinking?!"
"Listen to yourself. What, you want to find out whether your throat is tougher, or the innkeeper's martial arts?"
"..."
"Tch, spreading gossip."

[Important Notes]
1. No CP! No pairing characters outside the original story, and there's a chance I'll break up original pairings, so please proceed with caution.
2. There's a Gourmet element, and a little bit of infrastructure building. The female lead is incredibly powerful, and this is pure wish fulfillment.
3. The martial arts setting is a massive mash-up, and the timeline is utterly chaotic. It draws on Northern Song history, but the setting is very loose, so just treat it as a parallel world. Please don't nitpick the historical accuracy.
4. For specific original works referenced and other content warnings, see the author's note in Chapter One.
5. Reasonable suggestions are welcome. Abusive comments are not.
6. Villains will not be redeemed. Villains will not be redeemed. Villains will not be redeemed!
Theme: Always stay positive, be cautious in your relationships, but don't hesitate to show kindness.
