    I'd like to give this a quick recommendation. I've already read up to the last chapter. It's a novel adapted from the TV series, so even those who haven't seen it shouldn't have any reading difficulties. Aside from a slightly revenge-driven plot in the beginning, the later parts are a relatively harmonious 1980s story. Although I don't know why the rating is low, I'd personally give it 4 stars.

    Who understands this Tang Dynasty time-travel novel? A modern office worker dies from overwork and transmigrates to Chang'an's West Market at eighteen, all alone with only half a bag of flour and a can of coarse salt. A tattered wooden sign uncovers an old case: the life-saving grain has been looted by government troops, and of the village's 1,600 inhabitants, only 400 survive. Bound to a ten-thousand-fold return system, every penny spent yields a ten-thousand-fold return, but unfortunately, only one string of cash can be withdrawn per day. Money in the account, but no money in hand. Lei Yin doesn't panic; he bakes cakes and makes salt, slowly accumulating capital, stubbornly resisting the grain merchants' monopoly. From a destitute boy in the mud of the West Market to the respected Manager Lei, this story of struggle on the eve of the chaotic Tang Dynasty is so captivating!!!
