A Supermarket Opens at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Door

Xie Qiong has gender dysphoria and transmigrates into Xie Qiong, who was raised as a boy while dressing as a girl. The original's father favored his concubine over his wife, then was imprisoned over a literary scandal, dragging the family into exile a thousand miles away.

The original's older brother, Xie Xu, disapproved of their father's actions. He split from the family early and joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard as a deputy battalion commander. When disaster struck the family, he used his merits to save his only remaining relative. But fortune and misfortune are unpredictable: Xie Xu suffered a brain injury while carrying out a mission and became a vegetable. His brother's medical bills, enemies looking for trouble, even food, all cost money... The original was terrified out of his wits.

Before he died, Xie Qiong was mocked as a sissy and a pervert. He finally got his wish and became a girl, then swore to build a thriving business, open a supermarket, support her brother and her man, and live life to the fullest.

Having once managed a supermarket, she opens a little shop outside the Embroidered Uniform Guard's headquarters. She sells meals, jerky, fruit, rouge, pots, water, clues, promotions, wealth, wives, pots and pans, grain, cooking oil, and rice...

While earning money to support her man, she can also watch one handsome, broad-shouldered, wasp-waisted, long-legged guy after another walk past her shop! No one ever told her the Embroidered Uniform Guard was full of such handsome men. No wonder Sun agreed to marry, and Xie Qiong wants to say yes too!

Lu Yue was away on a mission when he heard that his friend had been injured and fallen into a coma. Afraid that his friend's timid, trouble-shy little sister would worry him to death, he rushed back in a panic after turning in his assignment, despite not having recovered from his own serious injuries. He found that the cramped little courtyard had been turned into a street-facing shop. Shelves of goods were neatly arranged inside, and customers pushed shopping carts as they browsed and picked out their purchases. A tall, handsome young woman leaned out from the checkout counter. Her voice was soft and hoarse. “Sir, we're having a grand opening. Everything's 20% off.”

“…” Was this really the same timid, trouble-shy little sister his friend had described in his letter, the one who wouldn't speak or meet anyone's eyes and cried when the Embroidered Uniform Guard scared her?!

If he didn't trust his friend so much, Lu Yue would have sworn Xie Qiong was a man dressed as a delicate young woman.

After a long pause, his friend's deep, powerful cursing rang out from inside the courtyard: “You idiots! This is a shop. If you want clues, go look for them somewhere else!”

“Don't get any ideas about my sister! She won't marry, and she doesn't want a live-in son-in-law!”

“If you're not buying anything, get out!!!”

Lu Yue looked up and saw a group of tall, handsome Embroidered Uniform Guards in flying-fish robes being driven out. The culprit, Xie Qiong, waved at them with a bright smile. “Come again whenever you have time, sir.”

[The shou has gender dysphoria, but he knows perfectly well that he's always been attracted to men. With the help of his brother and his LG later on, he'll be able to recover.]
