Where Are My Keys?

# A delightfully absurd campus romance with a utopian feel. A ridiculous, irreverent redemption story where the family, friendship, and romance plotlines are all a glorious mess.

(The story is based on the miserable daily life of an art student with a mental illness from one of China's most academically pressured regions.)

1. [Do You Still Remember Me?]

She, Wu Jinyan, is a mysterious transfer student. She has the exterior of a Maserati and the engine of a Wuling Hongguang, earning her the nickname “The Mute Bride.”

Two months after she picked up her paintbrush again, on May 20, she was helping a classmate snag a game launch account in the bathroom when she received this strange message. She didn't think much of it at first, but the missing keys and the exquisite little gift in her bike basket scared her.

[Do you still remember me?]

Her keys returned to her hands, and she threw the butterfly in the gift box into the trash.

“Who's playing a prank?”

2. [My Time Is Stuck]

She opened her eyes, washed up, and checked the date. Yep, May 20, the day for making single people jealous.

Wait, May 20?

Wu Jinyan tapped her head. With her mother shouting at her, she hurried out of the house with her keys before she could think it through.

“Must've been a nightmare.”

*

She lost her keys again.

The same gift turned up in her bike basket again.

[Do you still remember me?]

This time, she chose to take the gift with her.

“I don't remember you,” she said, looking at the butterfly in the picture frame. “But if you pull another stunt, I know a thing or two about fighting.”

3. [It Seems She's Being Haunted]

If she didn't take the gift, time rewound. If she avoided the question, time rewound. Even getting a little too close to another classmate made time rewind...

Following the principle that ghosts can't scare you if you're bold enough, Wu Jinyan used some unorthodox methods to meet a ghost and successfully uncover the “past and present” of her “ghostly senior”:

Bai Liling, an art student at the same school, who died more than six years ago.

At first, she thought the crappy school had caused this tragedy by failing its students. Later, she discovered there was more to the story, and that everything pointed back to her, an utterly ordinary lunatic.

Wu Jinyan: “Well, that's pretty bizarre.”

4. [ ]

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, a bride is wed, and the River Lord takes his bride amid a flood of tears.

She puts on her wedding dress and shoes, then casts aside her name and her heart.

“Do you remember who you are?”

“Bai Liling.”
