When Ruan Yan opened her eyes, she found herself in the body of the village’s universally loathed wicked stepmother. Her husband had just died, her family was dirt-poor, and all she had for company was a scrawny little boy left behind by her short-lived husband.
Faced with such a disastrous start from the start, Ruan Yan smiled calmly, not the least bit flustered. Just watch her take on a new world with her shopping System in hand.
Can’t get enough to eat? Buy it!
Can’t keep warm? Buy it!
Caught in a war? Buy it!
Picked up a man? Buy, buy, buy!
As she kept shopping, Ruan Yan realized that her stepson, who had been by her side since childhood, had become the youngest top scholar in the Ning Dynasty, while a clingy follower had attached himself to her and refused to leave.
Later, a matchmaker came to propose a marriage. Ruan Yan said, “I can’t decide my son’s marriage for him.”
The matchmaker replied, “Madam Xie, I’m here to propose to you.”
Ruan Yan: “???”
Later still, someone asked Ruan Yan the secret to her success. She replied, “It’s all thanks to making a profit as a middleman?”
