Going Home for the New Year

share time: 2026-02-15 00:33:17

Office worker Lin Xiaoman works overtime until New Year's Eve and squeezes onto the Spring Festival travel rush to go home. But she trips over the old locust tree at the village entrance and tumbles into the "Year Beast System"—complete the task of "giving the family a lively New Year" to unlock cultivation powers! Yet her family is in chaos: Dad secretly swapped New Year's Eve dinner ingredients for health supplements, Mom has a year's worth of blind dates lined up, and her childhood crush shows up with a "new girlfriend." Lin Xiaoman uses system glitches to fix things (like turning supplements into braised pork), handles marriage pressure, and helps her crush reveal that the "new girlfriend" is actually a debt collector. When the zero-point firecrackers go off, she realizes the most powerful "immortality" isn't from the system—it's the family squeezing on the kang, eating hot food, bickering about small flaws, and turning the New Year into the warmest moment. Going home itself is the greatest counterattack.
