Summary
Lu Ming is a struggling fruit-shop owner with barely enough money left after paying rent when a little girl, Aâli, knocks on his back door to trade strange mountain fruit for salt. Lu gives her far more salt than she expects. Soon after, he eats one of the fruits himself and discovers that it really does make him stronger. Customers dismiss the fruit as an ordinary apple until Old Zhang tries it and gets an astonishing boost. Word spreads, and Luâs tiny shop is suddenly mobbed by eager buyers.
When Aâli and her father return with more fruit, Lu learns their home is in the Shangqi Dynasty, a world on the other side of his shopâs back door. He arranges regular trades: the villagers bring fruit, and Lu supplies salt and other modern goods. The fruits have all sorts of effects:
- Zhuangzhuang Fruit builds muscle.
- Beauty Fruit improves skin.
- Pupu Fruit helps with digestion and acne.
- Calming Fruit helps people sleep.
Watching people from the past react to ordinary modern things is a running joke. One doctor, for example, refuses to make a house call because Lu has no silverâeven after Lu offers him a glowing smartphone.
Helping the Village
Luâs help goes beyond business. When drought leaves the village short of food and water, he brings supplies and uses modern pumps and pipes to get water across the mountain. He also helps set up a village shop so no one has to make exhausting trips over the ridge just to trade fruit.
The villagers repay him with hard work and loyalty, while Lu insists their relationship is a partnership, not charity. Aâli even catches two would-be thieves trying to raid the shop. Terrified by a glowing device and her âmagicâ doodles, they eventually get a second chance working for the village instead.
Business Success and Rivalry
The scheme grows into a modern dessert and drink business, but not everyone is happy about Luâs success. A rival company led by Gu Pan launches cheap copycat products called Guoli Yuanyuan, and customers flock to them. The knockoffs eventually cause rashes, sleep problems, and other harm.
Lu had already sent samples for testing. The report shows banned substances in the rival products, while his own fruit tests clean. He publicly clears his name, sues the company, and donates fruit to help hospitals research treatments.
Luâs parents worry that he is running a scam, but they are eventually won over when Luâs father tries a Calming Fruit and sleeps soundly for the first time in years.
Miss Shen and the Outbreak
Meanwhile, Lu becomes close to Miss Shen, who first helped protect the villagersâ salt trade. When her county faces shortages, he brings supplies to the soldiers. Their horseless âiron monsterâ of a car convinces the soldiers that Lu must be an immortal, despite his repeated insistence that he is just a fruit seller.
Later, during a serious outbreak, Lu brings medicine and protective equipment to the affected village, then rushes to save Miss Shen. The Ninth Prince threatens him if his treatment fails, but Miss Shen recovers. Lu also helps organize medicine for the sick people gathered outside the manor.
Tone and Ending
The series mixes wish-fulfillment business success with fish-out-of-water comedy and earnest acts of kindness. Some of the best reactions come from villagers and officials encountering cars, phones, pumps, and modern medicine for the first time.
Aâli also keeps teasing Lu about Miss Shen, calling her a âbeautyâ and pointing out that his ears turn red. The story ends on a warm note: the villagers arrive to celebrate Luâs birthday with homemade wine and a handmade coat. Everyone attempts to take a group photoâan idea that seems almost as miraculous to them as the cross-world doorway.
