The worst possible start.
After dying suddenly during an online class, Cheng Buxue never imagined she would wake up in a body that was blind, disabled, and disfigured. In front of her were people with sinister intentions, plotting to poison and assassinate her; behind her, the village bully was leading a gang to rob her...
Just when she was at her wits' end, she was bound to the Good Deeds System. By saving others and earning merit points, she could exchange them for healthy, intact body parts and money.
And so Cheng Buxue embarked on the rather over-the-top path of saving the world.
She talked a lovelorn young woman out of taking her own life, devised a plan to stop a tyrannical street thug, and waited by a pond to rescue children who fell in...
When she was struggling to make ends meet, she discovered that her merit points were mysteriously increasing.
Cheng Buxue looked around and met a pair of calm, clear eyes: those of her mute little follower, Chu Yanzhi.
[Merit points +10]
Cheng Buxue gave him some pastries she had made.
[Merit points +15]
Cheng Buxue gave him clean clothes and cooked soup and medicine for him.
[Merit points +30]
Cheng Buxue exclaimed, “A hidden treasure was right beside me all along!”
From then on, Cheng Buxue took tender, attentive care of the little mute. Her merit points kept pouring in, she cured his voice, and she built up her initial wealth.
With her merit points in hand, Cheng Buxue waved a grand gesture and opened a clinic, a beauty salon, and a pawnshop, then built temples... Her businesses spread across the country. She made a successful comeback as a wealthy beauty and became the richest person in town!
She humiliated the faithless scumbag Chen Shimei, won over the adorable young prince's daughter who had been engaged to the scumbag, and transformed from a disabled outcast hated by everyone into a ray of sunshine adored by men and women alike.
Before meeting Cheng Buxue, Chu Yanzhi was always thinking about how to die.
He picked up a dagger coated in deadly poison and slowly pressed it against his wrist. Cheng Buxue pushed open the door with a broad smile and insisted he try her cooking.
So he put the dagger away and looked at the bowl of unidentifiable mush.
Slitting his wrists would hurt.
He raised his eyes to Cheng Buxue's hopeful smile. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his expression shifted.
This way of dying did seem more dignified.
Little scene:
Cheng Buxue: “This is bad, we're being pursued! Hurry and run! They must be rivals trying to drive me out of business!”
Chu Yanzhi: “No, they're after me.”
Cheng Buxue: “I won't hide it from you anymore. My family used to be the richest in the land. I'm an orphan who escaped when a powerful martial sect wiped out my family after we offended them.”
Chu Yanzhi: “I'm the heir to the greatest sect in the martial world.”
Cheng Buxue: “...”
After a long pause, she reached into the System, pulled out a bicycle, and planted one foot on a pedal. Looking back at Chu Yanzhi with a solemn expression, she raised her chin. “No time to talk. Get on!”
