After his mother and he are "driven" out of the family home by his biased grandparents and his father, who's obsessed with having a son, they have to make a living selling firewood. One day, while gathering firewood in the mountains, Shen Qing encounters a wild boar. In his panic, he hides in a cave, only to discover a whole other world on the other side. This world is overrun with rotting zombies and mutated animals and plants. But all Shen Qing can see are the glittering gold and silver jewelry, antiques, jade, diamond watches, and more laid out at the stalls... Price: one steamed bun. Shen Qing grips a sack of steamed buns and swallows. He's not only taken with the things on the stall, but also with the handsome man squatting in front of it, whose eyes are clear and guileless! Song Kaiji has struggled to survive in the apocalypse for nearly a year. Searching for his missing family, he goes to the flea market every day to set up a stall and ask around for news. He never expected that one small act of kindness would not only help him sell the "junk" he'd been hoarding, but also land him a powerful patron and a place at his side, sending his life soaring to new heights. "Everything at my stall, gold, jewelry, jade... It's all two jin of rice! Everything for two jin! With two jin of rice, you can't go wrong, and you won't get ripped off..." "Will you sell the stall owner?" "Limited edition. Only Shen Qing can buy me." After the rain, the sky clears, vast and blue. ◇ Reading Guide: 1.
