"In the far East, there exists a strange little shop that has repeatedly refused Michelin three-star ratings. The prices are exorbitant; a bowl of fried rice with soup costs 288 RMB, oh, and it includes a side of kimchi, yet even so, long queues form. They don't accept reservations, only walk-ins, and countless people arrive by private jet specifically to queue, though of course, no parking or landing spots are provided. The service is appalling; customers are expected to serve themselves, clear their own dishes, and even wipe the tables!

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
