Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Open a Shop: From Potato Chips to a Business Empire

In the alternate world of the Great Yan Dynasty, Lin Fan uses modern knowledge to bring “ingenious inventions” like potato chips, soap, and toothbrushes to Qingxi Town, quickly making a name for himself. His success draws the covetous attention of local strongman Wang Defu, but Lin Fan cleverly turns the county magistrate’s protection against him and expands his business into the prefectural city.

However, rumors spread by Wang Defu about “strange treasures and wonders” attract the attention of various forces in the prefectural city: the prefect’s office takes official notice, the Tianbao Merchant Guild offers a business partnership, and the mysterious Xuanji Pavilion takes an interest. With groundbreaking products like “medical alcohol” and “odd-flavored lamps,” Lin Fan cultivates an image as an “ordinary craftsman,” wins the prefect’s protection, and continues accumulating System energy.

The Pavilion Master of Xuanji arrives in person to uncover Lin Fan’s secrets, but Lin Fan breaks through to greater strength and uses gunpowder to deter his enemies, successfully resisting the combined pressure of sects and powerful families. At the entrance to Qixiang House in the prefectural city, Lin Fan stages a thunderous gunpowder explosion to establish his authority once and for all, declaring his resolve to change the Great Yan Dynasty with his “ingenious inventions.” But this victory also means that even deeper, more powerful challenges await him.
