My Supermarket Connects Past and Present: I Reclaim the Wilderness and Relieve Famine in the Royal City

Lin Wei, a modern-day supermarket owner drowning in debt, unexpectedly connects to Xiacheng, an ancient border city suffering from drought. She grows from a “crooked merchant” struggling to survive into a “goddess” revered by the people, using modern knowledge and supplies to carve a city of hope out of a sea of sand.

Modern businesswoman Lin Wei is drowning in debt after her business fails and she takes on medical expenses for her mother. Just as she reaches the brink of despair, the back door of her rundown supermarket connects to Xiacheng, a harsh and bitterly cold borderland under Yuzhou in the ancient Great Liang Dynasty. At first, she trades cheap modern goods for antique silver ingots just to make a living, quickly building a fortune and paying off her debts. But after witnessing the people of Xiacheng suffer from drought, famine, and cruel officials, her indifference gradually crumbles. She decides to use her supermarket, a one-of-a-kind passageway, and her knowledge of modern agriculture, water management, and medicine to lead the people of Xiacheng in reclaiming land, digging wells, improving crops, developing trade, and fighting natural and human-made disasters. In the end, she transforms the desolate border city into a shining jewel of the frontier, going from a debtor buried in bills to a legendary woman whose name will go down in history.
