Making a Living by Street Vending in the Northern Song Dynasty

In her previous life, Zhang Xiyao struggled her way up and finally became a securities firm manager.

Then she woke up as a peasant girl in the Northern Song dynasty. Not only was she said to bring misfortune to her parents, but her fiancé had also broken off their engagement.

The villagers avoided her like the plague and wanted to lock her away in a convent as a nun. Even her own family secretly doubted her.

Only the village's old blind man predicted that Zhang Xiyao would one day become someone of immeasurable status!

His words had barely left his lips when the villagers soon realized the Zhang family was prospering!

Zhang Xiyao started selling stinky tofu, chilled jelly noodles, ice pops, fried dough sticks, glutinous rice cakes with brown sugar... Step by step, she became the wealthiest person in the Northern Song dynasty!

Years later, splendid carriages arrived one after another in the remote village. They all shared one purpose: to ask for the hand of Zhang Xiyao, the orphaned girl the villagers had once looked down on.

Among the suitors were the prefect of Kaifeng, a vice minister of works, the minister of revenue... Even the emperor's youngest son came to steal her away.
