The Star-Picking Story in the Alley

The 24-hour convenience store at the end of the old alley is Lin Xiaoman’s “star-catching station”—for three years, she’s picked up lost people every midnight: exhausted overtime workers, kids who forgot their keys.

Lin Chuan, a food delivery guy, had just been scolded by his manager for "failing to deliver orders" when he was suddenly dragged away by sunglasses-clad bodyguards. Waiting for him was Su Wanqing, a cold, glamorous CEO: "Pretend to be my missing brother to deal with my family's forced marriage." Staring at the offer—"100k yuan a month + a villa"—Lin Chuan agreed reluctantly. But this pretense turned his life upside down: the customer who once cursed him now smiled apologetically, his manager bowed and begged him to return, and even Su Wanqing's sweet secretary and best friend crowded around him with milk tea. Just as he thought the "game" was safe, Su Wanqing's uncle suddenly pulled out a DNA report: "He's not a Su at all!" Then, a childhood photo of him and Su Wanqing fell from his pocket—turns out, he was the Su family's kidnapped young master ten years ago? Layer after layer of identity twists, one satisfying slap-in-the-face moment after another, and the pursuit of beautiful girls left him "spoiled for choice." Lin Chuan couldn't believe how "freaking awesome" his life had become!
