Click to Modify the Space Station

After 15 years of grinding away in the interstellar workforce, Jiang Yinhe, a born workaholic, is finally sick of being a wage slave. She bets all her savings on taking over a rundown little space station on the edge of the solar system, planning to retire, lie flat, and run it as the boss.

Who knew hardly anyone would show up at this shabby station? She hasn’t made a cent, and on top of that, she has to deal with one mishap after another from the station’s ragtag crew.

The space station is in total chaos. Just as she’s about to make do and call it a day, a KPI drops from above: on orders from headquarters, if the station isn’t upgraded within a year, it will be shut down!

Jiang Yinhe bolts upright on her deathbed. The introverted, socially anxious shut-in is forced back into action.

She slams the table and declares, “You think I’ve been wasting all those years up in space? Just you wait!”

A year later, the shabby station has become one of the most popular stops on the Mars–Kuiper Belt route. Passenger traffic is booming, and the profits are pouring in.

An influencer with a million followers personally promotes the station’s branded products.

Travelers from major hubs on Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, and beyond flock there to sample the food of the drifters.

Even the future balance of power among the stars will be changed by the existence of this little station!

Jiang Yinhe’s inner monologue: I thought this blind-box setup was doomed from the start. Turns out every station employee has a hidden talent.
