Synopsis

An old street south of the city hides a midnight pawnshop. It accepts no money, trading only in emotions. Lin Wan has been able to see other people's “emotion bubbles” since birth: warm yellow means happiness, dark gray means despair, and scarlet means obsession. She inherits her grandfather's pawnshop and becomes the new ferryman, unaware that every transaction carries the weight of cause and effect. A top-tier star pawns his happiness, hoping only to escape the cage of his perfect public image. An obsessive fan pawns her fixation, just to preserve her idol's fake smile... “Living emotions are not redeemable.” Blood-red words glare like brands on the yellowed contract. Lin Wan meant to watch from a distance, but when she touches those shattered bubbles, she remembers her own past as an abandoned child. She uses her “emotional deliverance technique” to share warmth, but accidentally binds her emotions to those of top-tier star Gu Yan. His despair rebounds onto her, while his happiness nourishes her. When a secret from a hundred years ago comes to light and the pawnshop's curse descends, Lin Wan finally realizes that the most precious thing is never the emotion traded away, but the courage to face one's pain. She and Gu Yan have already become each other's only salvation. Every transaction here puts human nature to the test: What would you be willing to trade for an encounter you would never regret?
