Lin Wanxing, who stayed up late reading Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, unexpectedly transmigrates into a book and becomes bound to the Protagonist Redemption System. She must help classic characters such as Nie Xiaoqian and Ying Ning escape their tragic fates, and earn enough merit to return home. At Lanruo Temple, she knocks over a candle stand and interrupts Nie Xiaoqian just as she is about to claim a life, then teams up with Yan Chixia to slay the thousand-year-old tree demon. Outside Ying Ning’s cottage, she sees through the Ghost Mother’s plot to use a bewitching laughing spell and helps the fox maiden break free with dew from a parasol flower. When she faces a hideous painted-skin demon, she tears away its beautiful disguise and helps the scholar Wang Sheng understand the value of true love... While everyone else transmigrates into books to avoid ghosts and monsters, she travels everywhere “doing good deeds and earning merit,” giving Ning Caichen protective charms and helping Xiao Cui dodge an ambush. She becomes the most unusual “merit broker” in the world of Strange Tales. But as she uses her System’s golden finger to rewrite one tragic ending after another, she notices the rescued ghosts, fox maidens, and scholars beginning to look at her differently. The System warns her, “Host, your merit has attracted the attention of all three realms. The protagonists are trying to cross time and space to find you!” Looking at Yan Chixia at her door and Ying Ning holding a parasol flower, Lin Wanxing can only sigh. “I just want to earn enough merit to go home!” This is a journey of redemption through tales of ghosts and monsters, as we follow a modern girl who rewrites fate with kindness and helps the loves and feuds of the Strange Tales world finally reach a happy ending.
Good job!
