[Transmigration to Ancient Times] [Farming and Infrastructure] [Warring States] [Random Shop] [Multiple Female Leads]
The Zhou family owes 180 wen in taxes.
If they can't pay in grain, they'll have to hand over their little sister as payment!
Zhou Yan opens his eyes after transmigrating into a novel set in chaotic times, only to find himself facing this deadly predicament. Fortunately, a bargain shop where everything costs 9.9 yuan has come with him: 9.9 yuan is credited to his account each day, items refresh at random, he can't search for anything, and he can place at most one order per day.
Fifty stainless steel needles buy back his sister and save the whole family's life; ten disposable raincoats scoop life-giving water from a dry riverbed; cheap whistles, nails for carpentry, compressed biscuits... Modern people might consider these goods worthless, but in a chaotic age short on food and iron, each item can save a life and earn him grain, people, and loyalty.
From finding a way for his family to survive to determining the fates of eighty-one refugees; from digging wells and farming to building a stockade and clearing land, then training soldiers, defending the city, and vying for the realm, the shop in Zhou Yan's hands keeps leveling up.
Only when a dragon-patterned jade pendant resurfaces does he discover that this body is connected to the legitimate prince who disappeared nineteen years ago.
Meanwhile, the ambitious hero from the original novel, destined to sweep across the land, is preparing to steal his token of identity, impersonate the prince, and raise an army to claim a kingdom.
The fake prince uses a stolen claim to fight for the realm.
Zhou Yan has only the 9.9 yuan credited to him each day, and a group of people he personally kept alive.
