«A housewife who picks eggs ten yen cheaper and a trader who handles billions of yen in bets—her double life begins!»

Satoko Watanabe, an ordinary housewife in Tokyo's Azabujuban. After sending her husband off to work and finishing the dishes, she heads to her 'sanctuary' in the corner of the living room—three monitors. In an era of phantom interest rates hovering at 0.001%, trapped in the 'swamp of negative interest rates' where diligent saving only deepens poverty, she dons her apron and plunges into the front lines of the global currency war to save her family. A tense financial thriller unfolds amid the onslaught of London hedge funds, the government's surprise market intervention, and the threat of her entire fortune evaporating. This novel, which paints the precarious line between daily life and speculation, tranquility and madness, captures the capitalist survival story of all of us living today.
