A new story is here: Born rebellious, I get scolded by the Merit System
Han Yun transmigrated. The System that came with her claimed to be a [Merit Order Administrator], telling her that she needed to collect ten thousand merit points to return to her original time and place.
What? Look at me. Do I seem like someone born rebellious could collect ten thousand merit points?
The Jiang family, whom her original self had married into, had offended the powerful and was forced to move south with the whole family.
All their money had gone toward paying off their punishment. They weren't exactly destitute, but they weren't much better off.
The Jiang family had elderly relatives above and children below: an indecisive sister-in-law, a young sister-in-law who hadn't yet reached her coming-of-age ceremony, a frail husband, and a brother-in-law whose birth chart clashed with hers. Their life was more entertaining than a stand-up comedy show.
Fortunately, merit points could be exchanged for useful items in the Boundless Merit Shop, which made life a little easier.
Han Yun tried every possible way to earn more merit points.
Han Yun: I may not know how to chant sutras and perform rites for the dead, but I'll gladly wail at funerals for free!
Carry a coffin? No, thanks...
In human relationships, even close friends are bound to bicker.
If I'm supposed to swallow my anger to earn merit, wouldn't that ruin my cultivation? I'm taking them on!
Han Yun: I swear, I never insult anyone first. They come looking to be insulted, and I'm just obliging them.
Jiang Sheng: Han Yun, you shrew! My second brother will divorce you sooner or later.
Jiang Xun smiled. "A Yun, you have to believe me. I've never said anything like that."
