"Sir, your life balance is insufficient, please recharge in time."
——
Xu Linyuan awakened his superpower: at midnight, he could randomly meet a person whose lifespan was about to reach zero, and received a strange contract from the "Time Administration".
Contract clause 1: He can purchase the other party's remaining lifespan at the cost of completing the other party's last obsession.
Contract Clause 2: For every year of life collected, his superpower will unlock a weird urban daily ability - such as suspending the city for three seconds, or keeping coffee warm forever.
Contract clause three: When the life reserve exceeds a hundred years, he will receive a formal invitation to join the "Agency".
——
As a result, Xu Linyuan's daily life became:
Help a retired criminal police officer track down an unsolved case that has been buried for thirty years, and purchase the last seven days of his life;
Accompany a terminally ill girl on a night ride around the city and receive three hours of youth as a gift from her;
At the funeral of the president of a multinational company, I took over the twenty years of ambition he left behind...
Until one day, he discovered that some of the "customers" he acquired were not human beings.
And the countdown card suspended above the city that only he could see was pointing to the final rule:
[When your life reserve exceeds a thousand years, you will no longer be the acquirer - but the acquired.

Urban superpower + daily unit drama + suspense puzzle solving, this is a story about time, obsession and human fireworks.
