Twenty-three-year-old office worker Lin Xiaochai, a sweet and gentle soul, faints from working overtime. When she opens her eyes, she’s bound to “Redemption System 007.” Her mission: transmigrate through different worlds and pull the scattered fragments of “beautiful, strong, and tragic” souls out of the darkness, one by one.
She has no superpowers. All she can do is use the simplest, most down-to-earth ways to heal: bring hot milk to a frozen top student who’s been framed; help a mute designer whose work was stolen piece together a crumpled-up draft; adjust nourishing porridge for a frail young lord; share ration bars with a lone wolf in the ruins of the apocalypse; and even sit in a fantasy forest, listening as a cursed elf king unburdens himself of old heartaches.
The male leads start out cold, withdrawn, and full of self-loathing. They go from “Leave me alone” to “Where are you going?” From bristling at the world, they come to protecting her. At school, one shields her from the teasing crowd; at work, another stands up to a colleague who stole her credit; in the apocalypse, one risks everything to keep her safe. Even the aloof elf king is willing to spread his wings for her. System 007 spends every day reporting their emotional values and secretly awarding her heaps of points for her “heartwarming moves.” Even the satisfaction of face-slapping the villains becomes just a little side note on her healing journey.
After the last soul fragment, scarred by childhood family trauma, is finally warmed, Lin Xiaochai thinks her mission is over, only to wake up in a real-world hospital. Then, at the coffee shop beneath her office, she stumbles into a familiar embrace. The man has a faint scar on his right hand like a designer’s, and dimples like the young lord when he smiles. He says softly, “There’s a little sun in every dream. This time, I’ll be the one waiting for you.”
It turns out transmigration wasn’t a mission. It was the prelude to his crossing time and space just to reunite with her.
