Shen Ruoxi lived by a simple creed: seek peace and happiness, drift through life, and wait quietly for the end.

So when she was summoned to another world and proclaimed the prophesied Hero destined to save it, her first reaction was to roll her eyes.

“No thanks. I’ll be taking my leave.”

That was, until Su Xiaotang, the Saintess as pure and untouchable as an ice lotus, personally came to see her. Everyone awaited the sacred first meeting between the Hero and the Saintess with reverent anticipation.

Shen Ruoxi, however, merely leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I know you never really wanted to be a saintess. You were the one sneaking honey cake in the kitchen that day, weren’t you?”

The tips of Su Xiaotang’s ears turned so red they looked ready to bleed.

And so, instead of setting out on a grand journey to save the world, the great Hero’s daily routine became accompanying Her Holiness the Saintess in secretly slipping out of the temple to hunt for the hidden delicacies tucked away in the city’s streets and alleys.
