Zhuo Ling finally gets to see the legendary Earth.
She comes from an underground city in a post-apocalyptic world where supplies are extremely scarce. After transmigrating, she wakes up as a five-year-old “foolish” girl in a small ancient mountain village. In her new life, she has loving parents and three older brothers.
It is a year of famine. The family survives on coarse grain porridge, and everyone wears rough cloth that chafes the skin. Even so, they always save their limited food for her.
Fortunately, Zhuo Ling has the Post-Apocalyptic Marketplace System. Wild grass that is worthless in this world can be sold, along with firewood, tea leaves, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, pearls, gemstones, and almost anything else. The only thing she cannot sell is people.
In the underground city, these goods are worth a fortune. By exchanging them for ancient silver, she quickly becomes incredibly rich.
While pretending to be the village’s “foolish little girl,” she secretly works as a middleman, buying low and selling high. During a famine that leaves countless people starving, she earns enough to eat as much rice and flour as she wants, enjoy meat every day, build a grand mansion, and lead her entire family to a prosperous life.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, the emperor himself arrives at their doorstep, tearfully announcing that her eldest brother is the lost crown prince who had been raised among commoners.
It turns out her seemingly cold and reserved eldest brother possesses extraordinary grace, outstanding talent, and exceptional wisdom. As soon as he enters the imperial court, he impresses everyone with his intelligence and remarkable abilities.
Her second brother may be a mischievous troublemaker, but he is as strong as an ox. He becomes the top military scholar, assists his eldest brother, earns countless military achievements, and is eventually granted the title of marquis.
Her third brother is a born business genius with unmatched talent for finance. His skill with the abacus is so legendary that even the emperor can “hear the beads clicking” from the Hall of Diligent Governance. He later helps the new emperor ascend the throne and rises to become a high-ranking minister.
As for Zhuo Ling, all she wants is to make more money. But when she turns fifteen, her eldest brother suddenly pins her against a wall.
“Ling’er, be good… Marry your big brother. I’ve waited nine years for this day.”
She has been waiting for nine years as well.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she stands on her tiptoes and kisses him.
“Come here.”
