Quit 996, I Became the Top Librarian at My Alma Mater

share time: 2025-10-19 00:30:20

Xin Shiqi, an overworked 996 employee at an internet company, collapses after two weeks of non-stop overtime and quits her high-paying job to become a librarian at her alma mater. She expects a laid-back life, but the library is on the brink of closure due to plummeting visitors! Using her internet skills, she launches “ancient book restoration livestreams,” “late-night reading salons,” and turns unsold文创 (cultural creative products) into viral hits—only to be mocked by former colleagues as “wasting her potential.” Just when she’s about to give up, Lin Shen, her long-time crush and an archaeology professor, shows up to help restore lost ancient book techniques. Together, they save the library—and Xin finally realizes: instead of just “surviving,” finding “passion” is what makes life worth living.
