The Years I Spent Treating Planets

[Daily updates after the story goes premium. The new upcoming novel blurb is at the very bottom. Thank you to everyone who keeps reading.] Ji Zhiwu, a sickly young woman who lives on medicine, transmigrates by accident. The System she gets bound to gives her one and only one ultimate mission: heal planets. Heal a planet? Why not ask her to mend the sky like Nüwa while they're at it? - In the end, though, Ji Zhiwu still accepts the mission. She can't help it. The reward is just too good. So what if she has to pretend to be a doctor without a license? The moment she sees the payout, Ji Zhiwu feels like she can do anything again. Thinking all she needs to do is revive the hyper-polluted, uninhabited planet beneath her feet, Ji Zhiwu gives it everything she's got: She purifies wasteland plants and soothes feral beasts, working from the soil to the water. She even crawls into the planet's core and purifies it from top to bottom. Wherever something's wrong, she purifies it. At last, she sees the mission marked as a success and is overjoyed. Then she turns around, and the System is holding up one, two... countless planets, all flying over to send her distress signals. Does it never end?! - A livestream titled Healing Planets suddenly appears on the biggest streaming platform in the galaxy. The background is a lush, vibrant field, while the streamer is a pale girl who needs to rest for ages after walking just a few steps. Anyone can see that she's frail and has absolutely nothing to do with farming. People chatter away. Everyone puts on an act these days, but they've never seen anyone be this blatant about it. A sickly girl farming? Are those even two things that go together? And there are fifty million viewers watching live?! Keyboard warriors jump in with angry mockery: A sickly little thing like you is going to heal planets? You should get your brain checked instead! Even the bigwigs at the Academy of Sciences wouldn't dare use a title like that. What a joke, coming here to embarrass herself. The livestream chat is a cesspool. The System says nothing and simply switches the view: A wasteland plant, whose vines can knock out three grown men, obediently waves them around as it diligently digs furrows in the field; A feral beast that can rip someone in half with one swipe carries a basket in its mouth and follows the girl like a good little helper, waiting to collect the fruits and vegetables she can't carry; A man with his face hidden by a virtual filter, but a tall, striking presence, holds up a testing device made by the Academy of Sciences and provides live updates as the pollution levels continue to fall... The viewers in the livestream: ??? Wait, this is that dangerous wasteland planet that has the military tearing its hair out? Wait, she's a specially appointed professor at the Research Institute, an expert in ecological purification?! Wait, the polluted wasteland planet that was uninhabitable now has a restored ecosystem??? Did they wake up on the wrong side of the bed, or is the world about to change? -(Mini theater) One bright, sunny morning, several messages pop up on Ji Xingxue's wrist computer. [Marshal Ji, the pollution level on wasteland planet α-145 has fallen by 30 percentage points.] [Marshal Ji, unpolluted plants have been detected on wasteland planet α-145.] [Marshal Ji, on wasteland planet α-145...] After clearing all the messages from the monitoring station with one tap, Ji Xingxue knocks on the door next door as usual and drags out the person who would happily grow roots in bed. "Zhiwu, get up. You're going to pull weeds in the A pollution zone today, and the crops in Zone B need harvesting too. Then there's Zone C..." After a long pause, a pale hand emerges from the warm covers and smacks onto the mouth of the person who won't stop talking. "Xiao Ji, you're so noisy." 1. A sickly, unlucky heroine with a sharp tongue and a habit of jinxing things x a ridiculously strong, lucky hero who showers her with money wherever he goes 2. The heroine will have both love and career. The hero won't just be a backdrop. I'll try to write a love-struck hero who isn't greasy. 3. A slow-burn story that will switch locations. There will be livestreaming, but it won't start right away, and the whole story may possibly be pretty long (800,000 words?). 4. The author is a wage slave and updates according to the rankings, but will generally guarantee five or six updates a week. 5. No insulting people in the comments. Let's maintain a peaceful and friendly online environment, which will help the author stay in a good frame of mind and keep writing ^^. 6. I'll add more if I think of anything. Everyone who supports the official release is an angel. I'm grateful we met. [Story idea conceived on 2024.10.30. Blurb finalized on 2024.12.3. Screenshots saved as proof.] ---------------------------------------------------- Upcoming novel blurb The Witch's Floating Inn After transmigrating, the witch Wen Ying gets a disastrous start and proudly becomes a girl with nothing: no special abilities, no spirit companion, and no money. Her entire fortune comes to the astonishing sum of three digits, and her bank loan balance has fewer than seven zeroes. Wen Ying learns that even the cheapest nutrient drink costs two digits: ... She's taken out a loan and sunk the money into this. She's died and come back to life, so there's no way she can just give up. Wen Ying can only work hard to get this little shop, which is about to go bankrupt before it even opens, off the ground. First, add some flowers and greenery to the rundown inn. Then make some delicious food that smells irresistible, create a cozy and peaceful atmosphere, and finally, lure in a spirit companion with a hearty appetite to serve as her free promotional model. Done! - The inn becomes a huge hit online. Only when other customers point it out does Wen Ying, who's been so busy running the place that she hasn't paid attention to the outside world, suddenly realize that many of her regulars are people ordinary folks can only see on the StarNet. The empire's recently retired marshal, the wealthy son of a neighboring capital planet, an entertainment-industry top-tier star and megastar... Wen Ying looks them up one by one and is nearly so startled by their impressive titles that she eats two extra bowls of rice. Their fans come to the inn because of their reputations, only to find the bigwigs sitting quietly to one side, waiting for Wen Ying to finish cooking. Meanwhile, their spirit companions have completely forgotten their owners and are all crowding around Wen Ying's feet, fawning over her and trying to charm her. The spirit companion leading the pack is a big white fox. Relying on its overwhelmingly powerful mental strength, it defeats all the other spirit companions and climbs onto Wen Ying's shoulder, rubbing its face against hers affectionately. But while this white fox is acting cute for Wen Ying, it swats away every other spirit companion trying to cuddle up to her. Then it turns around and whines and begs Wen Ying for comfort, acting every bit as domineering as its owner. Everyone: ... Where's your dignity? - Bystanders are baffled. What kind of magic does this place have, that so many bigwigs are willing to throw away their dignity and fight over it? The bigwigs who know just how amazing Wen Ying is all stay silent. If we say anything, it'll bring even more people here to compete with us. If word gets out, will there be any room left for us at this inn? Meanwhile, the empire's prime minister, whose mental strength was reportedly declining and who could no longer summon his spirit companion, recently appeared in the news with it for the first time. He's fighting like a champion, full of energy, showing no sign of mental decline. Someone notices the prime minister's spirit companion, a snow fox with gleaming white fur that shimmers with light. It looks exactly like the one cuddling in Wen Ying's arms, doesn't it? Theme: Life always finds a way to thrive.
