Making a Fortune Trading in the Soviet Union in the 1980s: I Barter for Planes for My Country

After transmigrating into a book as the cannon-fodder female character in a melodramatic novel, Zhou Shengnan has her mother's life-saving money taken by her "fiance." She kicks the male and female leads and gets the money back, then takes all her belongings and becomes a cross-border trader. When a partner cheats her and runs off with most of her money, Zhou Shengnan awakens a System. Starting with canned food and cotton coats, she sets up a stall at the "One Ant" market and makes a roaring success of it.

The profound culinary traditions of Flower-Planting Country have foreign children clamoring for more. With Flower-Planting Country's nourishing dishes for kidney health, she wins over men and women of every stripe. The Russians, once so high and mighty, willingly clutch their money and chase after Zhou Shengnan to buy from her.

With every step carefully planned, and the System's help, Zhou Shengnan uses her extraordinary courage to open the gates of Bear Country with a million cans, trading them for three transport planes and securing strategic supplies for her country.

She face-slaps and outsmarts shady traders, tears into despicable male and female leads, and rises from a street-stall girl to the queen of trade between two countries. Every step is packed with thrills, pitfalls avoided, face-slapping, and scum put in their place.

But can someone tell her why this future villainous big shot, with broad shoulders, long legs, bulging pectorals, and hormones practically oozing from him, is always hanging around her?

Mini-scene 2

Lu Mingyuan: Zhou Shengnan, what man could ever like someone like you?

Lu Mingyuan: Zhou Shengnan, isn't having me enough? Can you get those other men to stay away?

A loyal foreign hunk with blond hair and blue eyes, a gentle young master from the imperial capital, and a pair of handsome twin subordinates all object!
