Trash to Treasure: My First Find Was a Fake-Dead Medusa

share time: 2026-02-18 06:15:36

Lin Xiaoman, a junk collector, rides his beat-up tricycle around the city every day, rummaging through trash for "treasures". Until one day, he digs up a "stone Medusa statue" from a cracked pottery jar in a demolition site—wait, why are the Gorgon’s eyes glistening? That night, the statue splits open, and a wounded, icy-beautiful woman crawls out, snapping, "You have to take responsibility for me!" It turns out she’s Medusa, cursed into a fake death by a wizard—only the "tears of a true heart" can lift the curse. And to top it off, Lin’s blood is the only thing keeping her in human form. Medusa sneers at Lin’s "pathetic poverty" but has to trail him as he rummages through garbage for "clues"; Lin finds this "goddess" a headache, but when she uses her snake hair to hold a screwdriver and helps him fix his grandma’s old watch, he finally gets what "turning trash into treasure" really means—it’s not about picking up old stuff, but about reclaiming the genuine hearts that the world has cast aside. But the wizard is already tracking them down. Can Lin’s tears catch Medusa’s curse before it’s too late?
