[Otherworldly Business] [Episodic Mystery] [Ensemble Cast and Family Bonds] [Female Lead's Growth]
Shortly after transmigrating, Lin Jianqiu inherits an estate agency and a tax bill due in three days.
Her first client is an old woman. She has sold her ring and put up her home as collateral to scrape together six gold coins.
“I want to leave myself, as a mother, to a child.”
Lin Jianqiu assumes it's an adoption request, until she opens the inheritance ledger.
[Beneficiary: Shen Xiaoman, thirteen years old.]
[Legal status: Deceased.]
[Death reported by: Xu Suqin.]
The old woman standing before her is the one who signed the papers declaring the child “dead.”
Then the old woman's next words make Lin Jianqiu stop writing.
“But last night, she came and knocked on my door again.”
From then on, the nearly bankrupt agency starts receiving inheritances that aren't quite right.
A husband who died seven years ago leaves behind a voice that suddenly tells his wife to run.
An old contract meant to protect a child becomes proof of a deal to buy and sell identities.
Lin Jianqiu investigates and balances the books, trying to keep the little shop afloat.
Until she discovers that the inheritance her uncle left her also conceals a secret that cannot be delivered.
When people ask how much an inheritance is worth, she asks first: “Is this really what you want to leave behind?”
