About this drama
A debt of five yuan plunges an ordinary man into a surreal quest to save his comatose friend. Trapped in a bizarre realm as a living alarm bell, Wang Xuan must brave five twisted fantasy prisons—from a waterlogged childhood memory ruled by sorrow, to a beast world where humans are pampered pets. Along the way, he battles manifestations of bullying and apathy, falls for a love spirit who sacrifices herself, and learns the true meaning of equality from a loyal dog. Each prison challenges his heart more than his courage, leaving him with strange tokens and profound lessons. When he finally returns with the cure, the adventure fades like a dream, but the tangible mementos left behind—and the man he has become—prove that the most absurd journeys can lead to the most genuine growth.

Bestie — Defy the Original Plot Today
Su Nian is the biological daughter in a rich-family true-and-fake daughter novel, yet she is also the tormented heroine trapped by the story’s plot. Raised in an orphanage, her only friend was her bestie Lin Xiaoxiao. Lin Xiaoxiao passed away three years ago. After Su Nian was brought home by her birth family, the Su Clan, she thought she finally had a family — only to find herself outshone in every way by the fake daughter Su Wanrou. Her parents favoured Su Wanrou, her elder brother loathed her, and her husband Gu Yanchuan hated her to the bone. At the family recognition banquet half a year prior, Su Nian was drugged and had a one-night stand with Gu Yanchuan. Forced to marry into the Gu family, she was branded a schemer who drugged a man to coerce marriage. She lost her six-month pregnancy, hitting rock bottom. Overwhelmed by despair, she went to Lin Xiaoxiao’s grave and tried to slit her wrists. Just as the blade was about to cut her skin, an explosion erupted at Lin Xiaoxiao’s grave. Her best friend, who had been dead for three years, crawled out of the tomb. It turned out Lin Xiaoxiao had run up a 30-billion-yuan loan shark debt in the underworld, and she put down Su Nian as the guarantor when borrowing the money. To pay off the debt, she returned to Su Nian’s side as a “system”. Only Su Nian could see and hear her.

Fantasy: I Can Simplify Everything
Lin Feng wakes up and transmigrates to the Heavenly Mystic Continent, becoming a lowly handyman disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a demonic cult. At that time, Saintess Mu Ling'er gathers all disciples and announces that the righteous sects will unite to wipe out the demonic sect in one month. Anyone who masters the first level of a Profound-Rank technique within twelve hours will be chosen as her dual cultivation partner. By chance, Lin Feng picks the hardest mid-tier Profound-Rank skill, Heavenly Demon Calamity Transcendence Art. As the deadline approaches, his cheat ability finally activates — the Simplification System: all things can be simplified. While others need three days to practice the skill, he reaches full mastery after just ten minutes of meditation. A heavenly demon rune appears on his forehead, stunning everyone. Mu Ling'er immediately chooses him as her cultivation partner, which provokes Senior Brother Xiao Heng, who admires her. Lin Feng sends Xiao Heng, at the 10th Layer of Qi Refining, flying with one punch and seizes his alchemy notes. Later, he simplifies Heavenly Demon Dual Cultivation Art into a simple kiss. He claims Mu Ling'er's first kiss and breaks through to Foundation Establishment. However, the intense dual cultivation causes Mu Ling'er to go mad. She needs a Marrow-Cleansing Origin-Restoring Pill to recover. Lin Feng heads to Miasma Pill Peak for the medicine but is trapped by Xiao Heng's elder sister, Xiao Ningxue, a Half-Golden Core alchemist known as the Pill Fairy. She gives him an ultimatum: produce pill fire within three hours, or become her pill slave. Lin Feng simplifies alchemy into "rolling grass pellets." He conjures pill fire in the time it takes to burn one incense stick and qualifies as a Grade-1 Alchemist.
