In the famine years of the Great Qing, starving corpses litter the land.
Shen Mai Xiang has just transmigrated into the body of a peasant widow. Looking at the nearly empty grain jar, her mean mother-in-law, and three children crying from hunger, she feels as if the sky is about to fall!
Worse still, the village bully is plotting to drive the orphans and their widowed mother to their deaths and seize their land.
Luckily, when she opens the door to the ramshackle woodshed, the modern supermarket chain she managed in her previous life has come with her!
But this golden finger has a catch: she must earn popularity points by "benefiting the people" before she can exchange them for supplies.
To survive, Shen Mai Xiang has no choice but to go all out and lead everyone to success.
One packet of fine salt gets her family grain to save their lives, and a handful of sweet potato seeds saves the whole village of Qinghe!
She opens workshops, builds a shopping street, takes on crooked merchants, and punishes corrupt officials. Even the mute refugee she happened to save, who was chopping wood to repay a debt, turns out to be the orphan of a military family, and vows to protect her with his life!
When powerful courtiers cut off the army's grain supplies and war threatens the border,
Shen Mai Xiang stands beneath the archway in Qinghe Town and waves her hand. "Open the granaries! I, Boss Shen, will protect the people's livelihood across this realm!"
