Reaching for the Stars

share time: 2026-02-04 06:05:22

Lin Xiaotang, an intern star chart maker, accidentally awakens Gu Zhao, a thousand-year-old star spirit trapped in an ancient star disk, while restoring it to fulfill her grandfather’s last wish. Bound by a contract—each small wish she grants lets Gu Zhao stay one more day—they help a convenience store aunt find her lost cat, a high school student retrieve his late mom’s notebook, uncovering warm stories. However, Gu Zhao learns he was sealed by Xiaotang’s ancestor, a secret her grandfather knew. As Gu Zhao’s power fades, Xiaotang’s final wish is “I want you to live,” but Gu Zhao returns to the disk to protect her. Just as she despairs, her grandfather’s note reveals: “A star spirit’s home is not the disk, but the one who’d reach for the stars for him.” When she shouts Gu Zhao’s name, a meteor falls—Gu Zhao stands before her. The purest wish? “I want to be with you.”
