After Being Diagnosed with a Terminal Illness, I Decided to Enjoy a Shameless Life

Synopsis:

They say that people speak kindly when they are about to die.

Unfortunately, Que Xin is probably the exception.

After working herself to the bone to earn a PhD, Que Xin is nearly thirty and still single. Then, completely out of the blue, she is told she is going to die.

She has a terminal illness, one that will absolutely kill her before long.

Looking at the diagnosis her doctor gave her, Que Xin, who has spent half her life working herself to death without enjoying any of it, suddenly has an epiphany.

She is going to enjoy herself.

She is going to eat at the fancy restaurants she used to be too embarrassed to enter.

She is going to shop at trendy boutiques whose styles once made her think she might catch rheumatism.

She is going to enjoy herself, let loose, and... Right, she has never been in a relationship.

Wiping the tears from her face, Que Xin, on the verge of a breakdown, suddenly realizes that if she dies now, her greatest regret will surely be... that she is still single.

Honestly, at this point, Que Xin no longer wants to keep up the image of a bookish, frigid woman.

She will be honest. She will say it outright. She has wanted to find someone and unravel life's ultimate mystery for ages.

Even if she really is going to die before long, at least she will leave without a single question lingering in her mind.

The young woman clenches her fist. Along with the diagnosis in her hand, her reason shatters, and all the rules she used to live by disappear from her eyes.

One week later...

The campus heartthrob at C University looks at the girl beside him, who calmly picks up his shirt and slips it on. In a low voice, he says, "I'll take responsibility."

The impeccably dressed scoundrel, no, Que Xin, his senior, says, "Junior, grow up."

The heartthrob: "Hm?"

Que Xin: "It was just for fun. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"

The heartthrob: ...Usually, he's the one who says that.

In short: A woman who has been a good girl for most of her life, then completely lets loose after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

P.S. The female lead really does let loose, but she is an adult.

Premise: Cherish life and love living.
