At Forty, I Finally Understand: The System Helps Me Break Through

At forty-five, Lin Lan is stuck in a life full of messes: her husband lies flat and owes gambling debts from betting on horse races, her daughter gets mediocre grades, and Lin Lan herself has been laid off. On the verge of depression, she is bound to a System and sent into the worlds of Ode to Joy, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and A Lifelong Journey. With the System, a spiritual spring in her personal space, and the power of elixirs, she changes the protagonists' fates while earning wealth and skills for herself. When the struggles of real life collide with gifts from other worlds, can she break free from her inner turmoil and turn her life around?
