My Readers Are Scattered Across the Three Thousand Worlds

Li Wenshu was a legendary web novelist in her previous life, known as the "Human Word-Churning Machine" for her unprecedented output and global fame. Despite her astronomical net worth, she died from overwork during an all-nighter, regretting that she never enjoyed her wealth. Upon death, she encountered the Novel System, a newly created entity that accidentally caused her death due to excitement. The System offered her a second chance by rewinding time to when she was sixteen years old, but with a catch: she only had three days of life remaining. To survive, she had to complete tasks issued by the System to earn lifespan through popularity points generated by her writing.

Reborn into her teenage body, Li Wenshu found herself in a hostile family environment. Her father, Li Hui, was emotionally abusive and financially stingy toward his wife and daughter, while secretly spending lavishly on his mistress and illegitimate son. Her mother, Shi Wan, was a gentle, submissive woman who endured years of humiliation from Li Hui’s relatives, particularly Chen Qin, who frequently visited to siphon money and goods. In her past life, Li Wenshu had been rebellious and distant from her mother, eventually dropping out of school and suffering a tragic fate after Shi Wan’s death. Determined to change her fate, Li Wenshu resolved to protect her mother and dismantle the toxic family dynamics that had destroyed them.

Her first act of defiance occurred when Chen Qin and her daughter arrived to bully Shi Wan. Instead of shrinking away as she had in her previous life, Li Wenshu physically restrained Chen Qin and intimidated her into leaving empty-handed, except for a fake promise of compensation. She then orchestrated a scheme to have Chen Qin steal an expensive vase from her father’s study, only to reveal at a thrift market that the vase was worth hundreds of thousands, causing Chen Qin to panic and lose the profit. This maneuver not only punished her greedy relatives but also exposed her father’s negligence and financial prioritization of outsiders over his own family.

Simultaneously, Li Wenshu began her writing career to secure her lifespan. She entered the System Space, a digital realm where ten hours equaled one minute in the real world, and started publishing a novel titled "Death Train" on a small, obscure website called Cherries Novel Website. The story was an "unlimited flow" horror thriller involving passengers trapped on a train bound for hell, forced to solve deadly mysteries to survive. Her editor, Li Xing, a disillusioned bookworm, was immediately captivated by the innovative premise and superior writing quality. The novel gained rapid popularity, breaking records on the small platform and attracting readers from other sites.

As Li Wenshu’s popularity surged, she completed various missions to extend her lifespan, unlocking more features in the System Space, such as libraries containing knowledge from three thousand worlds. Her writing success provided her with financial independence and energy to upgrade her capabilities. Meanwhile, she worked to repair her relationship with her mother, using her mature perspective to gently guide Shi Wan toward recognizing her husband’s infidelity and emotional abuse. Li Wenshu’s calm, strategic approach contrasted sharply with her past rebellious self, helping her mother gain clarity and strength.

The story highlights Li Wenshu’s dual struggle: surviving the ticking clock of her lifespan while navigating the treacherous waters of her family’s dysfunction. Her father’s anger over the lost vase and his ongoing affair create ongoing tension, while her mother’s gradual awakening marks a significant turning point. Li Wenshu’s literary genius becomes her primary weapon, allowing her to accumulate the resources needed to eventually confront her father and the mistress who had ruined her past life. The narrative sets the stage for a long-term battle where writing and family reform are inextricably linked, driving Li Wenshu to reclaim her destiny and protect those she loves.
