On the first day Chen Qianmo is unemployed, his bank account balance is 321.5 yuan.
A warning that his mortgage payment is overdue, a text demanding rent, and his ex-girlfriend showing off her new boyfriend on social media.
Late at night, he clicks into a fortune-telling livestream with just 37 people watching.
The streamer glances at him. "Look to your left. The pink curtains on the sixth floor will open within 30 seconds, and a woman will poke her head out."
At 29 seconds, the window slides open.
A woman leans out and looks down.
A chill runs down Chen Qianmo's back.
The streamer continues, "She's thinking about jumping. You're the only one who can save her."
