    Hello! :blobsmilehappy:

    I am looking for novels set in ancient china where the female lead is poor and has a system. The novels below have female protagonists that end up in an ancient china setting but eventually discover they have a golden finger- The Marketplace.

    The Marketplace allows them to sell local products such as fish or wild vegetables and buy things they need.

    The ones I picked up don't have many chapters available so I was wondering if there were any others.

    Novels similar to these would be great:

    No Letting My Daughter Sit at the Table? Fine, Then No One Will Eat!
    After Being Divorced, I Led My Maternal Family to the Pinnacle of Success
    Transmigrated into a Evil Mother-in-Law, Leading the Whole Family to Escape Famine
    After Transmigrating to a Famine Year, I Became the Ultimate Villainous Mother-in-Law

    Thank you!!

    Edit: Updated basic novel info
    Edit 2: Added another novel I found

    This isn't what I was looking for. :blobcry:

    I'm actually looking for ancient china novels where royalty, nobles, imperial examinations and scholars still exist and a FL that has access to a marketplace or system shop.

    But thank you! I've read this and loved it

    If you're looking for a novel then start your own post in this forum. This will make it much easier for people to help you and more people will see your post. Good luck!

    Tnaks to the novels you've mentioned I can add a few more to my to read list I think.

    The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke’s Mansion - MC doesn't have a system, but she has a magical space where she can store things and magical space has a shop that enables her to buy from and sell to other worlds, like modern day world. For example she sells antique stuff to modern day world and buys many things from modern day world she needs, like glass windoss and a car so MC and ML can travel fast through the night unnoticed.

    I have read some other novels where MC can sell things through a marketplace (again without system as far as I remember), but those take place in the 70s. If you're interested I can see if I can find them.

    And I have read several that take place in ancient times where MC has a magical space, but no system or shop. Could look into that as well.

    Thank you! This sounds interesting! I'm going to check this out.

    When you say marketplace, do you mean the black market or farmers/local market? I was looking for ones where the MC has a system/shop. I've read quite a few novels set in 60's and 70's but none had a system where MC can sell/buy things.

    I'd prefer ones where the MC has magical space a little more, especially if it's set in ancient china. While I was looking for similar novels I picked this one up- Fleeing Famine: The Eldest Sister of a Farming Family with a Dimensional Space

    Any similar novels would be appreciated! Thanks for helping me out! :blobsmilehappy:

    The novel where ML was holding MC's corpse while MC's real body was found by someone else and MC built up a new life at another place was
    Mr. Ford is jealous. I dropped it myself. I hated the ML. It felt all chapters I read consisted of ML tormenting MC. Novel can't be found on NU, so you'll have to google it. Website where I read it was taken down.

    With marketplace, I meant a shop inside MC's magical space where MC can trade with other worlds. I didn't explain that clearly in my post.
    Here is one where MC has such a shop (I thought I had read more, but couldn't find any)
    After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

    And here are a few I haven't read yet, so I'm not completely sure they fit
    Small Shop Owner in the 1960s
    Take Taobao to the Ancient Times
    Extreme Cold Disaster: Hot Spring Street Simulation Management
    The Mail Order Life of a Man Around 40 in Another World - male lead
    Outdoor Shop in Another World: Opening in the Adventurers’ Starting Town! - male lead
    The 1960s: I Have a Store - male lead
    My Shopping Mall is Connected to Ancient Times, I saved the Prince’s Mansion during Times of Famine
    Guide to Running a Shop in Another World
    I Opened a Small Shop to Support My Family - BL, so male lead, rest should fit your criteria
    After Pampering My Husband on a Live Broadcast, I Became Rich in Another World - ditto
    I Was Connected to Earth’s Black Market From Another World With The Skill [Market]! - male lead

    I forgot you asked for a female lead for a moment, so I also added some with a male lead. If there is a male lead I added that info behind the title.

    These sound amazing!

    I'm going to add these to my reading list. I really struggled finding similar novels with shops.

    Thank you so much!!:blobsmilehappyeyes::blobsmilehappy:
