Wenren Jingyu had made it into his twenties without suffering a car accident, cancer, unemployment, or anything like that when a mysterious person suddenly appeared and told him to inherit an estate: a rundown Taoist temple in a village and an unremarkable wooden box.
He thought heaven had handed him a farming-life story where he would lead the villagers to prosperity. He never imagined that the unremarkable wooden box would suddenly open, opening the door to a whole new world for him.
After inheriting the temple, Wenren Jingyu embarked on a story of interdimensional trade. But as he went along, things grew increasingly fantastical, and the people he met became stranger and stranger...
Wenren Jingyu: "I started out running a business that needed capital, buying and reselling goods. Then I started making money without any capital, and even selling my skills. But all I want is to get rich and lie flat..."
A little girl forced to cultivate the Dao eats the braised pig trotters Wenren gives her and drinks sparkling soda water. Tugging shyly at his sleeve, she says she wants to marry him and become his wife to repay him.
An old geezer who craves his XX Liquid and XX Spring wolfs down a roast duck and shamelessly insists on taking him as a disciple to pass on a peerless secret art.
A tribal prince who got beaten up brings out his collection of colorful stones, hoping to trade with Wenren for seeds, poultry, and livestock.
A little landlord who deceived him brings out the family treasures kept for generations, hoping to trade them with Wenren for medicine, rice, and flour to treat his son and the comrades heading to war with him, and to keep them fed.
A certain young man whose life Wenren saved drinks his Happy Fat Guy Soda while loudly insisting that Wenren take him into his household and make him work like an ox or a horse to repay the favor. He also asks for another bottle.
Theme: Promote trade between ancient and modern times and maintain harmony in the world.
