Lin Xiaoman, a modern e-commerce operations specialist, collapsed from overwork while revising a business plan late at night.

With "free samples to attract customers" and "buy-two-get-one-free" promotions, her stall became an instant hit.

From bickering to collaborating, they worked together: Lin Xiaoman expanded her business via "franchise chains" and shifted to rural supermarkets; Chen Mo used his mechanical expertise to improve the cake oven and solve production issues. Just as their "Zhaodi Trading Company" was about to be registered, Lin Xiaoman received an anonymous letter: "You are not Lin Zhaodi. Who are you really?"
