A Mother-Daughter Guide to Running a Supermarket [Infinite]

[Started writing on December 18, 2025]

The apocalypse had arrived.

No, it wasn't the apocalypse. An infinite game had arrived.

Ming Yun, who had gotten a buzz cut and been fired from her company, returned home.

Ming Yun and her mother, Ming Xia, had a fierce argument,

but when meteorites rained down from the sky, they were hit by a car and killed,

dying right outside their home.

A small supermarket.

A small town supermarket named Tomorrow.

When Ming Yun opened her eyes again, the world had been divided into safe zones and fallen zones.

People in the safe zones had to enter random instances. They would die if they didn't enter, and they might die even if they did.

The word "death" grew larger and smaller in her mind, smaller and larger again.

Ming Yun stared expressionlessly at the television, which was still broadcasting.

Then what were they? The souls of dead humans?

The exclusive System voice for NPCs rang out.

As intelligent, mobile NPCs, they were bound to the supermarket,

and had to complete missions in various instances.

Ming Yun's world collapsed,

but Ming Xia put it back together.

Yucai Middle School

Talent Corporation

Happiness Neighborhood

Little Red Flower Kindergarten

When Ming Yun took her first step out of the supermarket, she unexpectedly glitched into a player identity and awakened an ability. Little by little, she too followed the path her mother, Ming Xia, had once taken.

Reader's Guide:

1. Not an all-female cast, but the vast majority of the characters are women, who grow powerful as they survive the infinite game. Characters described as having long hair will all cut it short later on. There are a few male cannon fodder characters.

2. The mother bears the weight of history and is strong-willed, with many flaws, but she also has some natural feminist awareness. She isn't the type to blindly favor sons.

3. The daughter has flaws too, and is strong-willed. Her relationship with her mother is complicated. They are both multifaceted, unconventional, and unique people, and the daughter has learned a lot from her mother.

4. This is a work of fiction. The opinions expressed by some characters do not necessarily reflect the author's views.

5. This may be an unconventional infinite-flow story, one that doesn't feel like an infinite-flow story. It focuses on an ensemble cast and isn't a power fantasy.

6. The author is still growing...
