(At first, she makes money on the black market through business deals with the department store. Later, there may be plotlines involving something like secret agents.)

A clever heroine who matches wits with the villainess, versus a villainess who just won’t stay down. Is the male lead just there to provide support? ╮( •́ω•̀ )╭
Su Yan goes from a modern age of abundant goods to waking up in 1960 as a pitiful orphan. She has no parents, barely enough to eat or wear, and the whole village bullies her.
Her house is bare, wind blows through every wall, and the rice jar is empty. The village’s worst troublemakers eye her shabby home, while the educated youths’ compound is full of scheming. Every day is a struggle.
Luckily, she has a trillion-yuan superstore with her!
Rice, flour, cooking oil, meat, eggs, milk, candy, medicine, clothes, hardware, tools, seeds, fertilizer, scarce goods, and even future products: the inventory updates in real time, and she can take as much as she wants.
Starving from the start?
She can help herself to the store’s rice, white flour, and braised pork in cans!
Freezing to death in winter?
Warm padded coats, wool blankets, and frostbite ointment are all taken care of!
The village’s worst people try to take advantage of her, and a vicious educated-youth villainess trips her up?
She turns the tables with face-slapping comebacks and crushes them at every turn. Whoever causes trouble gets dealt with!
Then she meets Lu Tingzhou, a reserved, quiet, upright, and kindhearted educated youth sent to the countryside.
The two join forces in desperate circumstances, secretly teaming up to brave the black market, trading goods for food and quietly building up their savings.
He helps her avoid trouble, keeps her safe, and shields her from every storm.
She improves his living conditions, soothes his exhaustion, and stays by his side through the hardest years of educated-youth life. A whole cast of characters from the era takes the stage in turn, bringing every shade of human warmth and coldness, and every aspect of society, vividly to life.
Years later, Lu Tingzhou holds the young woman, now radiant with success, close. His eyes brim with warmth as he says:
“Ah Yan, I’m so glad I met you in this life.”
