Li Yan's grain and cooking oil shop is on the verge of closing. His landlord is demanding rent, his suppliers are breathing down his neck, and even his ex-girlfriend has left him, convinced he has no future. Just as he runs out of options, the back door of his warehouse unexpectedly opens onto a parallel world: a famine-stricken land where crops have failed and the people are freezing and starving.
The mountains of rice, flour, cooking oil, and canned food piled up in his warehouse are unsold near-expiration stock in the modern world, but in the famine, they're lifesaving supplies worth more than gold. The ancestral gold and silver and old heirlooms held by the famine-stricken people can't buy them a single bite of food there, but can be sold for a fortune in the modern world.
One bag of noodles gets him an ancestral gold ring. By trading goods between the two worlds, Li Yan creates a whole new cycle of wealth.
He ships food to the famine-stricken world, helps the disaster victims, puts a stop to the village tyrants and black-market grain dealers who bully the locals, and establishes order. Back in the modern world, he pays off his enormous debts and gradually grows his shop into a thriving business.
In a famine, kindness alone won't keep you alive. Only with supplies in hand and principles to hold on to can you protect the people around you.
Change the name to "The Days When the Bitch and the Widow Are Shameless", then you can just focus on this widow and switch to the finished version🤦
I originally thought it was AI, but after thinking about it, the writing wouldn't be so poor.
