Don't Open the Door at Midnight

share time: 2025-10-06 12:30:21

Lin Xiaoman, an overworked office worker, had just collapsed into bed after an all-nighter when a frantic knock woke her up—outside stood a古装-clad (ancient-costumed) kid, holding a glowing jade slip and yelling "Host"! Her old house, it turns out, is a "time-space gate hub"—opening the door at midnight triggers system quests, and completing them will help her escape poverty. But her first quest crashes into Gu Yan, a sarcastic CEO who not only steals her "quest target cat" but mocks her: "Even the system picks losers." Forced to team up, they get dragged into cat-luring missions with a thousand-year-old demon cat, dig up Gu Yan’s embarrassing childhood photos while helping a forgetful grandma reclaim her youth, and their bickering slowly blooms into affection. Yet when Lin discovers Gu is a reborn soul sent to "stop her from opening the door"—and the system hides a century-old curse on her family—will she choose her counterattack life or hold onto the man she loves?
