The Little Shopkeeper Just Wants to Make Money

[Money-Minded, Charming Shopkeeper x Crazed, Scheming Young Marquis] [Historical Setting + Transmigrate into a Book + Feel-Good Story + Punishing Scum and Face-Slapping + Farming + Business + Romantic Tension + Happy Ending] Zhang Yingying, an overworked office drone, transmigrates into a book as a minor character: the daughter of a small merchant in a frontier town. The border city is run-down, the fighting has only just stopped, and a famine has struck right after she arrives. They can barely afford to eat. Her younger brother owes people money, her father is in poor health, and her shy mother is from another ethnic group. They even have to sell their only shop, which is also their home. How is this family supposed to get by? Zhang Yingying decides she’ll have to pull herself together and keep earning money. What if she has no capital? She’ll borrow some. By accident, she borrows from Li Changyu, the male lead of the book, and becomes his biggest debtor. Later, Zhang Yingying asks, “Aren’t you supposed to be in love with the original heroine? Why are you confessing to me?” P.S. This is an ancient frontier-town development story dressed up as a romance. It’s pure, no-brainer fun, so don’t overthink the history.
