Synopsis
He Xueshi seeks a quiet retirement after traveling through countless worlds, opening a small grocery store at the base of a remote mountain. However, his inventory of otherworldly treasures—ranging from magical elven fruits to advanced mechanical robots—quickly transforms his peaceful life into a global phenomenon. His solitude is further disrupted when he discovers a severely wounded dragon at his doorstep, leading to an unconventional rescue. This novel reads like a cozy urban fantasy centered on the interdimensional shopkeeper trope, blending slice-of-life elements with supernatural comedy. It is ideal for fans of lighthearted BL and protagonists who are overpowered yet desire a simple life. Those seeking high-stakes drama or a gritty, complex plot should skip this title. The pacing is brisk, characterized by humorous situational irony and the charming development of a relationship between a retired traveler and a displaced dragon.

Editorial Review
This completed work offers a refreshing, low-stress experience within the BL genre. Its primary strength is the imaginative integration of multiverse elements into a modern setting, using the grocery store as a clever vehicle for world-building. The dynamic between the laid-back He Xueshi and the wounded Long Xuanzhi provides a steady emotional core. However, the narrative's brevity—spanning only 103 chapters—is a double-edged sword. While it avoids the common pitfall of excessive filler, the plot can feel somewhat episodic, lacking deep tension or a complex overarching conflict. Because it leans heavily into the 'slice-of-life' atmosphere, the stakes remain consistently low. Overall, it is a polished, concise read that delivers exactly what its tropes promise without overstaying its welcome.
