Midnight Pawnshop

share time: 2025-10-06 00:30:42

Lin Xiaoman, an overworked office worker, stumbles into the "Midnight Pawnshop"—a store that only opens at midnight, accepting no money but "unfulfilled regrets" in exchange for superpowers. But every exchange comes with a catch: being a "free errand runner" for the sarcastic shopkeeper Gu Chuan. Exchanging her "regret of not confessing to her first love" for a workplace counterattack system means bringing Gu 10 cups of bubble tea daily; exchanging her "regret of not saving a stray cat" for cultivation skills results in her spiritual energy only being usable to water Gu’s succulents. To earn the chance to "go back in time and save her mom," Lin is forced to team up with Gu, handling absurd orders together—like a green tea colleague wanting "tears to make her ex come back," a food stall owner wanting "a stomach that never gains weight no matter how much they eat." As they go from finding each other a nuisance to secretly falling for each other, Lin uncovers a shocking truth: Gu’s identity is linked to her mom’s death?!
