The Self-Rescue Guide for Life Countdown

share time: 2026-01-04 06:10:52

Lin Xiaoman, a 30-year-old "invisible" office worker, receives an anonymous text at midnight while working overtime: "You have only 72 hours left to live." From collapse to desperation, she starts a "bucket list self-rescue": confronting the colleague who stole her credit, telling her mother (with whom she'd been estranged for three years) "I want to come home," and confessing her long-buried crush to her high school sweetheart... But when the countdown hits zero, she sits on the balcony holding her mother's hot congee, only to get an anonymous apology call: "System error—your countdown was wrong." Staring at the streetlights below, she laughs through tears—turns out, the real "self-rescue" was never a race against death, but finally daring to face her regrets and live as her own light.
