At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Shen Qingli, a descendant of a reclusive clan, had learned all the skills she needed and wanted nothing more than to laze around.
Until the "Faith Collection System" forcibly bound itself to her, leaving her with only 365 days to live.
System: Become a star! Collect faith! Save the world!
Shen Qingli: No thanks. Too much work.
System: Refuse, and you die!
Shen Qingli: "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws. It was always a matter of a year earlier or later.
"Shen Qingli, listen carefully." The System's voice suddenly grew serious. The noisy electronic tones faded, and it almost sounded like an envoy from a higher-dimensional civilization. "You can lie here so carefree because you were born in a peaceful country and live a stable life. But do you think that stability will last forever?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"You have only 365 days left, not because of an accident or a curse, but because... this world is losing its faith."
After a long silence, she suddenly spoke, her voice so soft it sounded as if she were talking to herself. "Responsibility is one thing the Shen family has never lacked."
And so, the entertainment industry gained an oddball who "doesn't get up early, sing bubblegum pop, or join physically demanding variety shows."
While everyone else fought tooth and nail on a talent show, she carried an ancient zither onto the stage and danced as if she'd descended from heaven. The whole internet was stunned: "The other Class A contestants are dancing. She looks like she's here to survive a heavenly tribulation!"
Then her faith points topped a hundred million, unlocking the national fortune panel.
Looking at the figures tied to technology, culture, and military strength, Shen Qingli sighed. "I only wanted to coast through life and wait to die. Looks like I'll have to make this life count after all."
A mysterious foreign organization called Black Spring was watching from the shadows?
Shen Qingli smiled faintly. "Want to mess with our national fortune? Ask me first if I'll allow it."
