17 Points

About the story

A disaster known as the “Loss of Color” engulfs the city, and society establishes a survival scoring system, with 30 points required for entry into the central Zone A. Lin Jianwei, a 33-year-old full-time homemaker, has only 17 points, yet her husband Chen Shaofeng gives the sole opportunity to his assistant Xu Jianing, who has 28. Left outside Zone A, Lin Jianwei takes her elderly dog into the D47 resettlement zone and resolves to turn her life around on her own. She transforms the experience gained from years of managing a household into skills in resource allocation, personnel coordination, and emergency management, gradually growing from a homemaker into a key administrator of the city's survival support system. In the end, she proves that “a person's worth should not be defined by a score, and everyone should choose their own life.”
