Transmigrating to the Borderlands: I Make Five Million from Barbecue

Chen Mo and Su Qing, a middle-aged couple out of work, drive through a rainy night and take shelter in an abandoned tunnel in Phoenix Mountain. By chance, they transmigrate to the outskirts of Beiguan City in ancient times. They get started by selling barbecue, use modern supplies to gain a massive advantage, and within six months earn five million yuan, pay off their loan, and buy a house and a car.

Their former store manager, Zhao Qiming, discovers the tunnel’s secret and conspires with developer Mr. Wang to corner them at every turn, hoping to seize the land around the tunnel. The couple battle their enemies in the modern world while building a foothold through military supply deals in ancient times, forging close ties with Li Xinran, the cold-faced female commander, and Zhao Laoshuan, the village chief of Beiguan Village.

From humble street vendors who only wanted to make money, they become the power behind the border army’s supplies, and Li Xinran even accepts them as her adoptive parents. In the end, they secure the land around the tunnel, only to face the ultimate choice: the tunnel is about to be permanently sealed off for tourism development. Should they give up transmigrating and return to modern life, or protect the passage connecting the two worlds?
