The 1970s: The Coin That Swallows Space

When she woke up, IT professional Lin Wanxing had transmigrated into a melodramatic period novel, with a cup of poisoned milk waiting for her from the start.

She promptly splashed her sweet-and-innocent younger sister in the face, publicly broke off her engagement to the scumbag, and headed to the countryside.

Everyone thought she would rot in the mud, but in a ramshackle house, she discovered her mother's mysterious journal and a copper coin that grew hot to the touch.

The yellowed pages held more than her mother's final words. They also contained long-lost ancient beauty secrets and exquisite notes on medical theory.

While everyone else was still worrying about their next meal, she used the spirit spring within the coin and the wisdom of the ancient texts to start with a small jar of traditional beauty cream, then built Xingyan Pavilion into a nationwide sensation.

She trained apprentices so these ancient methods would not be lost to time, and helped the women around her prosper, turning the wisdom on those pages into real money that could change their lives.

She thought this was simply a story of starting a business and rising to success with the help of ancient books.

That was, until the taciturn man next door kicked her door open with his bare hands and pulled an identical copper coin from his collar.

“Twin coins: together, we live; apart, we die. You and I have been bound together by fate since the day we were born!”

Only later did she learn that the secrets of her transmigration into a book, the copper coin, and even the whole world were hidden on the final page of the journal she had yet to turn to.

And at the destination marked by that ancient book stood the man who had been waiting for her for twenty years.
