Communicating Across Time: The Fake Heiress Makes Billions With Her Supermarket

Shen Li has a dream in which she’s the fake heiress in a story about a real and a fake heiress. In the future, she’ll oppose the real heiress and eventually be dumped into the sea. Not wanting to become fish food, Shen Li leaves her wealthy family overnight and opens a supermarket in the neighborhood where her birth parents live. On the supermarket’s opening day, someone sends her a text: I’m the Empress Dowager. Send money. I’ll give you an official post. Shen Li: “???” Who’s pulling this prank? Shen Li decides to ignore it, but accidentally touches the message. The next moment, she appears in front of an old woman offering incense to her ancestors. [Beep! The Past and Present Supermarket System has started!] Shen Li: “!!!” In the Great Xia dynasty, the emperor suspects the loyal Xie family of treason and exiles the entire clan to a bitterly cold land. With nowhere else to turn, the Empress Dowager, who was born into the Xie family, begs her ancestors for help. She doesn’t get help from her ancestors, but she does get Shen, the supermarket owner from the modern world. Gold and jewels can buy the Xie family food, clothing, and safety on their journey into exile. The Empress Dowager’s eyes light up as she gathers the possessions of the wicked emperor and makes deals with Shen Li. Is the place of exile bitterly cold? The Empress Dowager has been expertly plundering the emperor’s home for a hundred years. All the Xie family has to do is gather wild greens and dig up bamboo shoots to exchange for an abundance of supplies. Are her wealthy parents holding her down? Shen Li can’t stop collecting delicacies from the mountains and antiques. She puts them all up for sale in her supermarket and easily earns a fortune, becoming wealthy in her own right! Auntie who buys vegetables: Wait, this supermarket sells antiques too? Wealthy magnate: Boss, please put the antiques in a separate room! Empress Dowager: Boss Shen, I know I can never repay your great kindness, so I’m willing to have my grandnephew serve you for the rest of his life. The Xie family: Agreed! Shen Li: Um... there’s really no need!
