Accidental Time Travel: Getting Rich by Trading Between the 70s and Modern Days

share time: 2026-03-02 00:36:40

Lin Xiaoman, a modern office worker who just got laid off, accidentally activates an old pocket watch left by her late grandmother and gains the ability to travel between 2024 and a 1978 state-owned factory dormitory. To help her grandma in the 70s—too poor to afford cold medicine—she sells second-hand thermal underwear and overstocked small appliances from modern times in the past for food stamps and cash, then sells old porcelain bowls and stamps from the 70s to modern collectors. But troubles arise: Aunt Wang from the 70s neighborhood committee suspects her of "speculation" and wants to check her accounts; modern creditors chase her for a 100,000-yuan debt; worst of all, Chen Mo, an educated youth in the 70s, discovers her time-travel secret. Instead of exposing her, he insists on "joining her team" to use modern technology to help villagers start a chicken farm. Lin Xiaoman must hide her identity to balance both worlds and help her grandma avoid the stomach disease that killed her later. Why has her path to wealth suddenly become so troubled?
