You and the Warmth of Mortal Life

share time: 2026-02-24 06:40:33

Yuan Jin, a cold-hearted divine envoy from the Heavenly Realm, is tasked with collecting the last "warmth of mortal life" on Earth—that’s Lin Xiaoman’s wonton stall at the old street corner. Her wontons are wrapped in bone broth warmth, even the bowls left for stray cats carry heat. Yuan Jin intended to finish quickly, but when he helped Xiaoman boil soup, hot oil splashed his finger, and the warmth from her cooling his hand with cold water burned his heart. On a rainy night, holding an umbrella for her, he watched her give the last bowl of wontons to a beggar, fog blurring his divine eyes. When the moment to collect the warmth arrives, Yuan Jin realizes—what he was supposed to take was never the heat of the wonton stall, but the greed for "mortality" that just ignited in his own heart.
