Lingxi Studio is a place that listens to wishes. Money, years of life, love, power: whatever you desire can be yours, as long as you can pay the price.
Lu Zhao needed money for a car to cover her sister's surgery, so she signed a contract. To clear the stage, she personally killed an NPC who had been kind to her. She thought it was just a plot, just data, just a doomed sacrificial character. But he remembered. And he resented her.
So he was reconstructed and returned to Lingxi Studio.
He cornered her against the wall, resting a hand over her heart. His voice was soft. "Your heart is beating so fast."
She stubbornly denied it. "You're the one moving."
He smiled and leaned closer. "Mm. My heart is moving."
He waited three months to take his revenge. She braved two dream worlds for him.
In the final one, the instance was collapsing, and paper cranes filled the sky, shattering into white light. She gripped his wrist and forgot everything else, asking only one question:
"Xie Yin, will you come with me?"
He lowered his eyes to her and stayed silent for a long time. Then he suddenly smiled.
"And you still say you haven't fallen for me?"
On the Ghost Festival night, paper cranes led the way, and her husband entered her dream.
