My Ninth-Life Good Deed System: Surviving the 70s

share time: 2025-12-20 00:34:19

Lin Xiaoman, a modern corporate slave burning the midnight oil on a project, is suddenly bound to the ‘Ninth-Life Good Samaritan System’ and thrown into the 1978 state-owned Hongguang Factory. The system says she needs enough ‘Good Karma Points’ to return to the present, but her tasks are all cringy messes—chasing Granny Zhang’s runaway hen through cornfields, or giving the injured factory hunk safflower oil instead of medicine. Zhou Yanchuan, the cold-faced technical expert who initially found her ‘troublesome,’ is touched by her stupidity of chasing him with boiled corn for half a street. He secretly covers for her with the leader and joins her in piecing together a rain-soaked admission letter for a educated youth, fixing a leaky roof for a lonely elder. Amidst endless laughter, Lin Xiaoman discovers a secret: every ‘destined person’ in her nine lives of good karma is Zhou Yanchuan? Turns out this transmigration isn’t a ‘task’ at all—it’s the fate she owes for nine lives, waiting to add the final sweet touch in this nostalgic,烟火气 (warm, down-to-earth) era.
