In the interstellar age, paper books have been abandoned.
Dan Ranran inherits her family's failing bookstore. Inside are a dilapidated Western-style villa, over 80,000 unsold books, a money-guzzling robot, and a "fairy big sister" from the future.
Running a normal bookstore without going under is impossible. Maybe an unconventional approach can still save it.
*
The bookstore goes viral in the strangest ways.
Retro drinks are impossible to get; rescued old books are exhibited in museums; collaborations with online games let people experience ancient Blue Star...
Later, people discover that
A high school sophomore who was an academic slacker has turned into a top student, stood on the awards podium, and become the target of a bidding war among universities.
A frail, sickly woman learns to weave bracelets from books, starts a small business, and becomes an inheritor of ancient jewelry-making techniques.
There's this top-tier star and that famous director, but the most renowned of all is Fu Zhou, the bookstore's investor. He went to the store to buy books and learn about investing, and studied his way into becoming the richest man!
The Myriad Books bookstore even expands overseas, reaches across the stars, and becomes the number one bookstore in the interstellar world, spreading Chinese culture and setting a new trend.

Fu Zhou is refined and reserved, an angel investor much sought-after across the interstellar world.
Everyone knows he comes from a poor background, born in a slum, educated at an ordinary school, admitted to a top university, and hired as an intern at an investment bank... Wait, how did he get rich? Curious people look through his resume:
10,000 star coins invested in a bookstore, one month
100,000 star coins spent on buying heartbreaking old books at a premium
1,000,000 star coins spent acquiring a bankrupt publishing house
10,000,000 star coins invested in an unknown online game project
Can this really make money???
Fu Zhou: Of course it can. I was poor growing up and wanted to make money so I could spend big. Later, I realized that making money to spend on my wife is what I'm here for. Thank you, my wife. I declare my love for the best Dan Ranran in the whole world.

Wow, just thinking about it, I think this project is huge and requires a lot of effort. I already have help from a painter.
Aren't Xiaobai and Xiaohei also orcs? After all, Xiao Hei can also read. Moreover, if a cat is placed in a place with out-of-print books, it does require more intelligence, otherwise the kitten will like to knock over things and sharpen its claws.
Wow, I never thought about it, but it was supposed to be an ending like this. Thank you for your hard work!
The ending is a bit sudden, but it is true that bookstores have become popular all over the world. I read this article very interestingly. Thank you to the author for persisting. Come on^0^~
The bookstore attracts more customers. The heroine can only attract more attention, and with the help of people from the embassy, she should not be robbed by the beast stars in the public. Also, the way the spiritual body absorbs knowledge is to suck up all the words. It is too exhaustive and overly damaging.
The back-up left by the parents works. Sometimes I hope that it will not be used. This means that there will be no danger, but this kind of life-saving means must be available.
You must remember to ask for compensation after you go out. You were pulled into a closed space for no reason and then spent so long. How many things have been delayed.
At an international exhibition, everyone is moved around. It's so arbitrary and tyrannical. It's so annoying.
