When the Black Day dawns and Ash Walkers run rampant, all of humanity is forced into the era of the Wish Market: a bottle of water costs one gold coin, but killing a monster earns only two.
Huang Mengmeng, a twenty-two-year-old intern, has barely woken up when her adoptive parents, who have spent years plundering her inheritance, push her outside to die. At the critical moment, she unexpectedly activates the “Ten Thousand Bookshelf.” By reading novels and submitting sufficiently compelling romantic pairings, she can earn gold coins.
While others risk their lives with knives, she ships “guard × quilt” and “broom × dustpan,” earning hundreds or even thousands at a time. While others turn on each other over half a piece of bread, she's already bought a safe house, a mobile warehouse, a luxury motorcade, and an entire farm.
Her relatives demand she hand over her supplies? First pay back the 800,000 they stole. Her boss takes the moral high ground? She'll publish the accounts, so no one gets to take advantage for free. The company owner wants to claim credit for her work? Sorry, she owns the company warehouse now, too.
From a cramped storage room to Dawn City, with its hospitals, railways, ports, and book city, Huang Mengmeng ships and shops her way forward, rescuing people, settling accounts, and rebuilding order as she goes. As for the men surrounding her and competing for her favor, the master bedroom has no key, but there are still a few project manager positions open.
