A Space Opens Onto the Desert, and My Stockpiles Help an Exiled Villain Take the Throne

[Ancient-Era Tragic, Powerful Exiled Heir x Modern-Day Laid-Back Office Worker Returning Home] [Past and Present Connected] [Stockpiling] [Business] [Infrastructure and Farming]

Lin Xiuxiu discovered that the ten-yuan bracelet she'd bought had developed a space after absorbing her blood. What she didn't expect was that the space wasn't hers alone: it also belonged to an exiled villain from a history book, a thousand years in the past.

The villain and his entire family were exiled to the desert, where they ran out of water and food and nearly died of thirst and hunger. Then, with a whoosh, snacks and sweet drinks appeared in the space, saving them from immediate peril. That night, they nearly froze to death.

The villain begged Lin Xiuxiu for help, offering all his belongings in exchange for food, water, and warm clothing, and promising to repay her kindness in the future.

Lin Xiuxiu shook her head. She didn't want repayment, just the desert's resources...

She stocked up on huge amounts of supplies: goldfish-shaped wontons, luosifen, crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, instant hot pots... She fed them a different treat every day, fattening up the whole family until they were plump and glossy instead of skin and bones...

Lin Xiuxiu also discovered the desert's local specialties: cistanche, cactus fruit, desert scallions... She even collected its colorful stones, which turned out to be turquoise and gold!

The villagers looked down on Lin Xiuxiu for being a college graduate who stayed home. But with the villain's family secretly hoarding gold and jade, and the desert's resources, she gave the people who'd laughed at her a taste of their own medicine. From then on, she reached the pinnacle of success and became the richest person in Huaguo!

The villain also turned his life around by doing business with Lin Xiuxiu, using the stockpiling space to acquire food and modern weapons!

They agreed to be nothing more than business partners, making money without getting involved romantically. But just as they achieved success, the villain dropped to one knee, pulled out a ruby ring, and asked her to be his empress...

Lin Xiuxiu: Can I say no? Why is it so hard to turn him down?
