Jiang Lai is a seasoned low-key person whose life motto is “Good enough is good enough.” She lives one day at a time.
Orphaned from a young age, she's like a tenacious but unnoticed weed growing in a crack in the city's sewer. In college, she chose a major that sounded prestigious but was actually a “jobless pit” where graduation meant unemployment. With her landlord's rent reminders arriving more punctually than ghosts, she stared at a few suspicious water stains on the ceiling for three days and nights, her eyes drifting to the “regulars” in the room that only she could see.
And so, a brilliant money-making plan was born: turn these “people's” stories into novels!
Ghostly tales and passionate romances: what great material!
Unfortunately, her ambitions were lofty, but reality was harsh. No matter how thrilling or unforgettable the stories were, once they passed through her brain and onto her keyboard, they all became dry, straightforward accounts.
Still, her high output and quirky imagination were just enough to scrape by.
Then, in an accident, she was forced into a death pact with a dead fan girl. If Jiang Lai failed to fulfill the girl's dying wish within a month, a red thread would pierce her heart and kill her.
With no other choice, Jiang Lai set out to fulfill the girl's last wish.
She never expected this to be just the beginning. All kinds of bizarre last wishes came knocking, leading to many hilarious and exasperating stories.
Meanwhile, the curtain rises on a family curse and secrets that have been hidden for years. Cursed to die before turning twenty-six, what path should she take, and how can she break the curse...?
