When Xiao Ying Chun inherits a shabby neighborhood supermarket, she expects debts—not a back door that opens into the Great Liang dynasty, where a battle-worn general slaps down silver ingots for a box of biscuits.
One transaction turns her checkout counter into a lifeline for an army. Whatever she can stock—compressed rations, canned food, disinfectant, bandages, antibiotics—Fu Chen An can buy, and he pays in bullion, rare herbs, and antique treasures that make her rich overnight. The gimmick is ruthless and practical: the supermarket is the only “warehouse” that can bridge eras, and supply is limited by what she can source and move before anyone notices. But sudden stacks of silver invite modern predators, tax audits, and surveillance, while in Great Liang her “heaven-sent goods” threaten corrupt officials and rival commanders who would rather seize the supplier than win the war. As sieges tighten and lives hinge on her next delivery, Fu Chen An offers a marriage alliance to lock down the channel—so Xiao Ying Chun drafts her own contract and turns love into strategy.
Expect hard-nosed trading, modern products rewriting ancient power, and a romance forged in gold and groceries.
