After pulling an all-nighter, Lin Xiao's vision went black. She never imagined that the final stop for a miserable corporate drone like her wouldn't be heaven or hell, but a dilapidated ancient house with nothing inside! Worse still, a lousy System called "Happy-Go-Lucky" appeared in her mind and coldly announced: from now on, her life would be sustained by "happiness energy"!
Where could she get that energy? The answer made Lin Xiao want to die all over again: by easing the "pain levels" of those around her! The System came with a "Pain Radar". Whenever it detected someone on the verge of a breakdown (like Auntie Wang next door, who suspected her daughter-in-law of stealing a chicken), it would force Lin Xiao to take on a "mediation quest." Fail, and her energy would hit zero, resulting in instant execution! To stay alive, Lin Xiao had no choice but to grit her teeth and take the job, becoming the most frazzled "corporate drone mediator" in ancient Ping'an Town.
And so, Ping'an Town's whole vibe changed:
* Help an obsessive-compulsive bookkeeper wage war against his scatterbrained young boss? Use a fake Excel spreadsheet to save the accounts from looking like chicken scratch!
* Plan a promotion for the "Tofu Beauty," driven to tears by rumors? Smash tofu in public to prove her innocence! (She nearly made things worse.)
* Use the "counterweight principle" to help an old carpenter straighten a crooked roof beam? When they call her "Little Master," she can only stare in confusion!
* Even help a balding constable solve a muddled case? Use the "Pain Radar" to pinpoint the key bystanders who love to gossip!
