If Dreams Have a Shelf Life

Description

Shi Li won a lottery from the underworld and woke up in the apartment she used to rent, now in ghost form.

She didn’t expect that her ex-boyfriend, with whom she had only a so-so relationship, was still living there.

This man went out every day looking proper and wearing a suit, but once he got home, he was sloppy and messy, turning a perfectly fine apartment into a doghouse.

The smell of smoke almost choked her to death a second time.

Shi Li endured it for three days before finally entering his dream. Skipping all pleasantries, she stated the obsession that brought her back from death.

“I finally managed to save up a hundred and twenty thousand before I died. The bankbook is hidden in the compartment under the sink. Take it out, exchange the money for ghost currency, and burn it for me, alright?”

“If you dare keep it for yourself.”

“I won’t let you off even as a ghost.”

I picked this up to read as a break from my usual reading routine. I'll be honest—I was a bit doubtful at first, since it's a CN novel, but I decided to give it a try because the plot intrigued me and it had great reviews.

But wow—this is a hidden gem. For a short novel, the plot is impressively well-constructed. The characters, as the author mentioned, are impossible not to root for. It truly deserves its high rating. I hope more readers will give this a chance and overcome their... more>> biases like I did. You won't regret it. <<less

This is a very beautiful story.

And don't get fooled by the synopsis, there are some moments that made me, a guy who hardly cries while reading a novel, cry a little.

And the best part about this is that it has a happy ending.

Go read it, it only has 16 chapters, and you'll be doing yourself a favor

A beautifully heart wrenching novel of two ordinary people with their extraordinary love. I cried my eyes out, but thankfully the author gave us a happy ending! Summary sounded more on the comedic side at first so I kinda got blindsided by the heart wrenching parts

This story is one of the beautiful story. Both of the lead are loving each other so much whether they are love or dead. FL in form of the spirit, she couldnt do much. Yes, she can prosesses him but in a short time. Yes, she can entering his dream but not in a body form, she just let him sleep and whisple behind his ears. Thats it. She didnt know whether he understand it or not. It just a refresh idea and I love it.

How she frusrate and hiw... more>> she deal with it. This story potrate so good abt the dead on and underworld system.

But dont worry it is happy ending story. Both of them fight a lot and deserve so much.

I cry like a crazy bit*h now. 😂😂😂 Just readdddd <<less

This took me by surprise. I thought it was only going to be a cute, funny short story. But no. It has plot, drama, a twist. I’m totally in love with this characters and also my eyes are swollen from crying.

Thanks translator, for choosing this novel!
