A Wishing Contract in a Grocery Store
About This Novel
22-year-old Lin Wan is the most inconspicuous intern in the Xincheng District office building. Frustrated at work, alienated from her colleagues, and her parents' expectations were like a mountain, weighing her down. When her harsh boss issued a dismissal notice, she was desperate and accidentally broke into Wangyou Alley deep in the old alley late at night, and met a wish-making grocery store that was only open to those with obsessions. "You need to pay an equal price to make a wish." The white-haired old man's reminder was forgotten by Lin Wan, who was eager to get out of trouble. She made a wish to "pass the assessment and become a regular employee." Her wish came true unexpectedly, and she thought she had grasped a life-saving straw, but she did not realize that happiness was quietly draining away from her life. In order to be promoted, she once again asked the grocery store for help, and the price also intensified - her emotions gradually became numb, her precious memories slowly dissipated, and she became a "work machine" without warmth. It wasn't until her friend Xia Yang reminded her that Lin Wan was shocked to realize that she had already fallen into the abyss of making a wish. Those seemingly easy successes are just short-lived phantoms exchanged for the most precious self. On one side was the fame and fortune that was easily available, and on the other was the real life that had been lost and recovered. Standing at the entrance of Wangyou Lane, she finally understood: Real wishes never need to be prayed to the outside world. The growth earned by one's own hands is the most practical light in life. This time, she wants to personally "redeeme" herself who was stolen by her wishes.
