Lin Yan was a top-tier spell master in his previous life. He had fought in wars, been betrayed, and seen half the world reduced to scorched earth. In this life, all he wanted was to find a remote mountain corner, grow vegetables, drink tea, and bask in the sun. He wanted to be left alone.

He took on four disciples and taught them only the basics. As long as they could protect themselves, that was enough. He didn't want them getting into trouble.

But then...

His eldest disciple, Su Qingyuan, became the Valkyrie of the Northern Frontier. With a single sword strike, she broke through ten thousand troops and wanted to give him all the conquered territory.

His second disciple, Ella, became an alchemist witch. She blew up the lord's manor, paid thirty thousand gold coins in damages, and cheerfully said, “Master, I brought you back a laboratory!”

His third disciple, Liyue, seized the throne and led the officials to kneel before him. “Master, the whole world is yours.”

His fourth disciple, Xingluo, became an elven sage, drawing an entire forest to her side, along with a walking tree.

Lin Yan looked at the people, airships, and kneeling officials filling his courtyard, then slowly closed the door.

“I don't know any of you.”

But the outside world was convinced he was the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes, a legendary master of unfathomable depth. Trouble kept coming his way, and all he wanted was to run. But whenever his disciples were in danger, he was more worried than anyone.

“Master, why won't you stand at the very top?”

“...Because it's windy up there. I still haven't watered my vegetable garden.”

The everyday adventures of a master who wants to lie flat but is forced to stay in business, and four disciples who are desperate to repay his kindness but always end up making things worse: a chaotic yet heartwarming tale.
