The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers Novel

Ji You finds herself stranded on a garbage-filled planet in the interstellar era, living in desperate poverty. With toxic soil making survival impossible, she resorts to scavenging and selling discarded items to make ends meet. She collects beautiful grass seeds that everyone else ignores, threading them into beads to sell online. When she posts them, a buyer mocks her: "Selling grass seeds? Are you crazy for money?" Days later, that same person desperately begs her to sell them just one grass seed bead. Ji You refuses coldly. She also gathers sparkling stones scattered across the streets, polishing them into bracelets. Again, people ridicule her: "Selling such broken rocks—have you never seen money?" But soon they're crying and pleading: "I was blind! Please sell me one." By then, Ji You has nothing left to offer. Her discarded treasures have become priceless.
