I Rely on the Supernatural to Stay Alive

Blurb:

Gu Nian was reborn!

A rare genius of the Daoist sect, Gu Nian had never been particularly lucky, even as a child. Whenever she went out, torrential rain would pour down. Whenever she drew a card, she got nothing but the guaranteed pity reward. She was even told that she wouldn't live past eighteen. Who could have guessed that after being reborn, Gu Nian would discover that she had been bound to a "Good Deeds" System? Supposedly, every time she helped someone, she would gain a corresponding amount of lifespan.

Gu Nian: You can get something this good?!

So...

To change the fate she had met in her previous life, dying young, Gu Nian went into overdrive doing good deeds. These included, but were not limited to: drawing all kinds of talismans, solving the mysteries of haunted houses, rescuing trafficked women and children, and even kicking down the human traffickers' hideout!

Later on...

Gu Nian's style gradually went off the rails.

In addition to helping people, she started setting her sights on ghosts and monsters. For example, she would send lost souls home, or rescue female ghosts being refined. In short, watching her lifespan keep climbing until it was almost overflowing, Gu Nian waved her hand and opened the gates to the underworld. As the ghosts looked at her gratefully, she smiled with satisfaction.

Gu Nian: Yay! I get to live two more months.

News that the Gu family had brought home their sickly youngest daughter spread through high society as if it had grown wings. Quite a few of the Gu family's former business rivals were waiting to see how the soon-to-be-bankrupt family would support their short-lived little girl.

But as they waited...

They first heard that the Gu family had made a comeback against all odds.

And the little girl who supposedly wouldn't live past this winter had rosy cheeks and showed no sign of dying. She could even summon a heavenly thunderbolt as thick as an arm with a wave of her hand!

Those who had been waiting to laugh at them: Is it too late to apologize?
