When Prices Crash: Paradise or Abyss

share time: 2025-10-15 00:30:47

Lin Xiaoman, a moonlight clan who lives paycheck to paycheck, wakes up to a world where prices have plummeted—milk tea costs 1 cent, rent 1 yuan, yet her salary remains unchanged. Thinking she’s stumbled into a “consumer paradise,” she immediately goes on a spending spree, until a system pop-up suddenly appears: “All free enjoyment is exchanged with happiness points—zero points mean eternal entrapment in the abyss loop.” At this moment, she meets Gu Yan, a cold and reserved programmer who also senses something amiss. Bickering about “the paradise being full of traps,” they are forced to team up: to earn happiness points, they take on “healing missions,” and making Gu Yan laugh even earns them double points. But as happiness points grow increasingly hard to obtain, they discover this “paradise” is linked to an unspoken regret from Lin Xiaoman’s past… When “carefree spending” turns into a “survival test,” can this bickering pair break the loop and find true happiness?
