share time: 2026-02-17 00:34:16

Lin Xiaochuan, a poor young man, struggles to survive running his late mother's grocery store. One night, a woman in a dragon robe wielding a longsword bursts in—she's Feng Qiwu, an ancient empress who just escaped a palace coup! Suspicious, she points her sword at Lin, thinking she's fallen into a "den of sorcerers." But when Lin hands her a bowl of hot instant noodles, the empress takes a bite and tears up: "This taste… it’s exactly like the noodles my mother secretly made for me!" She refuses to leave afterward, learning mobile payment, stocking shelves, and even selling her jade hairpin to pay Lin’s rent. However, her pursuers from the coup have also time-traveled—they surround the store one night to take her back. Lin clutches a bucket of instant noodles and stands firm: "If you want to hurt her, you’ll have to go through me!" The once-lofty empress stares at the poor boy, her eyes moist—turns out, the most precious thing isn’t a kingdom, but a bowl of hot noodles and someone willing to protect her.
