When Winter Ends, Spring Comes, and New Year Returns

share time: 2026-01-31 00:31:38

Lin Xiaoman, an invisible office worker, is still revising plans on New Year's Eve when a Northeastern-accented system suddenly binds her—she must reignite the New Year spirit in 100 people by the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, or be trapped in an endless New Year loop forever. Desperate to go home for the reunion dinner, she throws herself into the mission: getting squashed while grabbing train tickets for her stingy boss, almost falling off a ladder while pasting couplets for a lonely grandma, and even being dragged to square dance as an “atmosphere maker.” To make matters worse, a cold cultivator named Gu Shiyan appears, claiming he’s on a mortal tribulation and insisting on tagging along to “leech” off her mission. From bickering to teaming up: he uses magic to revive wilted plum blossoms, she teaches him to dip dumplings in vinegar; he shields her from marriage-obsessed relatives, she takes him to temple fairs to guess lantern riddles. But as the mission nears its end, Gu Shiyan’s tribulation strikes—staying in the mortal world means losing his immortal powers, returning to the immortal realm means forgetting everything about her. When winter ends and spring comes, will they get their own “new beginning”?
