A shop like yours is bound to go out of business sooner or later.
In her previous life, e-commerce entrepreneur Lin Wantang was ruled against despite being in the right.
Then she transmigrated into 1984, burdened with enormous debts and given three days to marry and pay them off.
The red booklet won't grant her a windfall. It only records debts, contracts, and loopholes.
Thousands of copper locks: their exteriors can be copied, their marks replicated.
But the hidden marks inside the lock, the dead knot in the beam, and the fingerprints on the paper cannot be forged.
Some people exploit loopholes to extort others; some make a profit by selling counterfeits.
The “insider” pulling the strings never acts, only offers advice, passing the knife from the shadows.
Lin Wantang relies neither on favors nor on making a scene. She wields locks as blades and evidence as her shield.
In this world, being in the right doesn't guarantee victory. What gives you the means to survive is the proof in your own hands.
