Synopsis

[SYNOPSIS] Dalie transmigrated into a passerby in a classic Western period novel. 19th-century London, the golden era of the Victorian age. The torrents of iron and steel from the Industrial Revolution forged the world-renowned metropolis of London. The West End was a paradise of hedonism, while the East End was a hellscape of sweatshops. Dalie’s entire family squeezed into a narrow little house in the slums of East London. They relied solely on a dilapidated half-sized grocery store to make ends meet. However, with the matriarch grandmother bedridden and the family running the shop like headless chickens, business was plummeting. Dalie glanced at the chaotic display racks and spotted the flaws immediately: Inventory Mismanagement: Canned tomatoes and cocoa powder—new shipments were stacked in front of old stock that remained unsold, leaving goods to spoil unnoticed. Hygiene Issues: The counters were coated in dust, driving customers away from preserves, butter toffees, and biscuits. Stockouts: Fast-moving consumer goods like soap, sealing wax, and baking soda were sold out and left unreplenished... Having crawled her way up from the bottom to become the CEO of a retail brand in her past life, Dalie declared: "Step aside and let a professional handle this!" Tropes: Merchant / Police Officer • Scheming Ambition disguised as Innocence & Resilient, Aloof Female Officer Themes: Shop Management • Family Development • Vanity Fair • Late 19th Century Tags: Western Romance, Book Transmigration, Ordinary Life, Business Management Protagonists: Dalie, Christie
