Writing to Survive in the 1980s

[Science Whiz x Famous Writer]

Jiang Qiao, a born civil-service-exam ace, transmigrates and dies on the day of her political background check.

She transmigrates to the 1980s, where there's no food to eat or water to drink. The factory is struggling, and her parents are always at risk of being laid off.

She's also bound to a writing System. Every bite of food and every sip of water can be earned by writing. The popularity of her stories determines how much food and money she gets that day!

Thirteen-year-old Jiang Qiao picks up her fountain pen and starts writing! Back to her old job!

Before passing the civil service exam, she was a well-known writer on Huashi, after all!

In 1986, the magazines Speak of the World and Drunken Flower Shade welcomed their future star authors: Jiang Laiyi and Li Jingyang.

Jiang Laiyi's signature work is I Opened a Supermarket in Ancient Times.

Li Jingyang's signature work is Shock! The Palace's Top Expert Is in the Imperial Palace Every Day, Doing These Things with the Emperor!

The two magazines battle fiercely, each trying to poach the other's star author. They compete over sales for ten years.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qiao withdraws two royalty payments from the bank every month and collects two bundles of energy from the System.

By writing, Jiang Qiao seizes the opportunities of the era, invests in stocks and real estate, and becomes a billionaire.

One day, Jiang Qiao has become the country's most famous author. A reporter who comes to interview her discovers Li Jingyang's manuscript in Jiang Laiyi's home.

Reporter: ??? You two are that close?
