(Historical romance + farming + pocket dimension + transmigration + development) A long-planned scam drove Jian Yunshu’s late mother’s department store out of business. Her father had only just gone missing when her stepmother ran off with another man, taking all the family’s money and leaving her with mountains of unsold goods and crippling debt. Just as she was fretting over what to do, a ragged beggar carrying an imperial sword suddenly appeared in the store.
Seeing how little she was wearing, the beggar called her a wicked woman over and over, then glared at her and scolded, “You audacious witch! You should be opening up wasteland with the army, not dressing like that to tempt Me!” Jian Yunshu stared at him, baffled. “Where did this… tyrant come from?”
When he saw her eating hot pot, the tyrant angrily drew his sword. “In a famine, the common people can’t even get a bowl of thin porridge in a month, yet you eat sixteen dishes in one sitting? You deserve to die!” But while he grumbled, the tyrant hauled water and grain out of her store.
Yunshu couldn’t take it anymore. “Stop being jealous. Why don’t we work together?”
The tyrant silently brought out piles of gold and silver. “Fine. Take this money and get Me more food and water!”
Who would have guessed that a single ancient copper coin was worth three thousand, while the gold and silver were worth even more as antiques? And there were countless paintings, calligraphy, antiques, and jade, too… From then on, Yunshu was on her way to getting rich overnight.
Just as she was savoring her dream of becoming the richest person around, an earthquake struck without warning… When she opened her eyes again, the man sitting on the dragon throne was none other than the tyrant who used to bring money to her store every day to buy things.
Yunshu gave an awkward smile. “Hey, what a coincidence!”
The tyrant replied, “Quite a coincidence… Since you’re here, stay and help Me expand My territory.”
Yunshu sneered inwardly. “Just you wait. This time, I’ll bleed you dry.”
Luckily, her store had come with her, too, and had even upgraded into a trading space connecting the past and present!
