Back to the Era: Signing In to Get Rich with a System
Back to the Era: Signing In to Get Rich with a System Author: Nan Fei Yi Ke (南飞一客) [This is for offline reading purposes only.] A laboratory explosion sends Lin Tang back to that era of scarcity, where she is bound to a Sign-in System. Before she even has a chance to open her "Newbie Gift Pack," her fiancé from an arranged childhood marriage arrives with his head held high to break off the engagement. The reason? He's about to secure a "golden rice bowl" (a stable government/factory job). Lin Tang looks at the man, who is as mediocre as he is confident, and parts her red lips slightly: "...Cancel it!" Less than a month later, the ex-fiancé is fired for cause. Meanwhile, Lin Tang takes a stroll through the county seat and somehow becomes an officer at the cotton textile mill's broadcasting station. Ex-fiancé's Internal OS: Is it too late to ask to get back together now? Life in this era is bitter! Even though she is pampered like a precious pearl by her three older brothers and her parents, she needs food stamps to eat, cloth stamps to buy fabric, meat stamps for meat, and even stamps just to buy a bar of soap... Despite tightening their belts, life is still miserable. Looking at the black mush in her bowl, Lin Tang falls silent: "..." Fortunately, she has a system! Want something? Just sign in and you'll have it. Years Later- A certain handsome man looks at his seemingly frail, fair-skinned wife and tries to keep a straight face. "I heard that back in the day, you took down a wild boar with two 'bang-bang' punches?" Lin Tang's eyes flicker. With a slight squeeze of her fingertips, the enamel mug in her hand is instantly deformed. She says with righteous indignation: "How could that be? Don't listen to those people talking nonsense. We are intellectuals-how could we be so savage!"

Back to the Sixties: Farming, Getting Rich, and Raising My Cubs Author: Nanfang Lizhi (Southern Lychee) [This story is for offline reading purposes only.] Lin Qinghe transmigrated into a novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character. The story is set in an alternate 1960s era where there is a severe shortage of food and clothing. Although material resources are scarce and life is monotonous, this is not her primary concern because she possesses a small portable dimensional space stuffed with supplies, ensuring she is temporarily free from worry about food and clothing. What worries her is that, if she remembers correctly, her three bargain-bin sons are destined to become major villains, and together with their upright and aloof father, they will ultimately meet a tragic end with no way to die peacefully. Looking at her three future villainous sons-the oldest is only five, the second is only three, and the youngest is only one-Lin Qinghe decides to start by making sure they get a full meal...

The Sentinel Group Darling
She was afraid they would drink her blood, and they were afraid she would be hungry and cold. She thought she was a reserve of food, but they treated her like their life. Until the commander, whose face was covered in black markings, spoke to her haltingly in his newly learned Chinese: "Drink this, it's a nutrient solution, it doesn't suck blood." "Sleep, this is a hibernation pod, not a coffin. We are not vampires." "You are the guide, and we are the sentinels." "Our mission is to protect you." ... By chance, Ye Lingxi discovered that Qimen talismans could actually reduce the contamination level of sentinels. From then on, the legend of the Xuanmen Celestial Masters began in this interstellar space. With a compass in one hand and a talisman in the other, Ye Lingxi can pull even a berserk sentinel back from the brink of death. ... Much later, everyone in the Federation knew that on that most remote, desolate planet lived twelve madmen who had crawled back from hell. They stayed by their only guide's side, never leaving him for a moment, until their deaths. (Credit to the Original Author San Qian Chi Chan)
