Lin Yanzhi is a science student, the kind who goes to the laboratory every day. An equipment short-circuited, and his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he became Su Yanzhi, a poor scholar in the suburbs of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty. Both his parents were dead, and his family was destitute. All he had was a few old books, a patchwork of clothes, and a leaky thatched hut. Fortunately, in this era, we don't have to pay off a mortgage, but we must first find a way not to starve to death.
Shen Qinghuan dressed up even more outrageously and woke up as Shen Ahuan, the daughter of a pig killer in Bianliangdong City. Butchers were considered "untouchables" in the Northern Song Dynasty. Their children could not take the imperial examinations and were looked down upon wherever they went. But she didn't care. She rolled up her sleeves and helped her father sell meat. With her fierce energy and modern marketing acumen, she managed to make the butcher stall business prosperous.
The two time travelers got connected because of a piece of soap - he tried his luck selling homemade soap in the market, and she could tell at a glance that this thing had something to do with it. A science student knows how to cook but not sell, and a butcher girl knows how to shout. The two hit it off. "Qingyan Soap" gradually made its name from a small stall on the street corner of Dongshi, and he also went from being a poor scholar who only made coarse cakes in cold water to being on the gold list. The two of them each hid the secret of time travel, until one day they accidentally let it slip——
"What did you just say?"
"Say it again?"
This is the story of two modern people working hard in the Northern Song Dynasty. The fireworks in the streets of Bianliang City, the paperwork and labor in the imperial examination hall, the undercurrent of the Qingli New Deal - these are the stage at their feet. The core of the story is always the two people supporting each other and living their own lives bit by bit in Bianliang City nine hundred years ago.
