Starting with a Cola, Wishes Come True

Starting with a Cola, Wishes Come True Plot:

Lin Xiaoman, an overworked office worker, drags herself into a convenience store at midnight after overtime, only to be handed a vintage cola marked "Wish Starter" by the shopkeeper. She jokes, "I wish I didn’t have to work overtime tomorrow"—and her boss suddenly takes a sick leave the next day. She says, "I want a hot taro ball milk tea"—a colleague just brings one. Even her secret crush asks her out for lunch. She thinks her life has turned around, until her mom calls, crying: "Why don’t you remember the soft-boiled eggs we made together last week?" She realizes every wish steals a piece of her memory with her mom. When she rushes back to the store to give up this "luck," the shop is gone—only the empty bottle in her hand reflects in the glass, with a small note: "All gifts have long been priced in the dark."
