After countless lifetimes in various worlds, Lu Xuan finally returns to Earth, determined to enjoy a quiet retirement. With skills honed from being an emperor, a financial mogul, a top-tier entertainer, and even a master chef in past lives, he just wants to live in peace. Unfortunately, his skills are too extraordinary to remain hidden. Despite his best efforts to stay low-key, the entertainment and business industries keep pulling him back in. A casual performance in a karaoke bar goes viral. An offhand investment in a failing company turns it into a corporate giant. A simple home-cooked meal leads to an exclusive invitation from a Michelin-star restaurant. Before he knows it, the world is once again at his feet. But this time, Lu Xuan is determined not to be the protagonist. Instead, he mentors rising stars, helps struggling companies, and sets the stage for a future where he can finally fade into the background. Will he succeed in his quiet retirement, or will the world refuse to let a legend rest?
