Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading

Waking up, Su Xiaoxiao lands in 1970s—ration cards, empty markets, six mouths to feed, only two working adults. Coarse sorghum is a luxury and her grandmother wants to sell her to the village chief’s simple-minded son for two hundred yuan. Xiaoxiao’s lifeline: a “time-trading” app that links her phone to 2024. She orders cheap bulk goods—cooking oil, canned meat, even light bulbs—and resells them at 1970s prices, pocketing the difference. Every deal earns her “time-credits” she can cash in for more stock. Others cling to their secure jobs while barely managing to eat, but Su Xiaoxiao's family becomes the wealthiest in the county by engaging in the individual economy that others despise.
