Full Title: Receiving Texts from the Future—Isn’t Making Billions Only Natural?
A mysterious friend request from someone named “Scalding Hot Noodles”…
An unknown contact that doesn’t seem to exist.
A message claiming to be from her future self, knowing everything about her past.
Fang Xiaocao is completely bewildered.
Scalding Hot Noodles: Danger ahead. Don’t go home tonight.
“What kind of lunatic…?”
Rolling her eyes, Fang Xiaocao dismisses the cryptic warning and unlocks her apartment door.
Scalding Hot Noodles: At midnight, there will be knocking. If you don’t want to die, don’t turn on the light.
00:00:00 – Midnight.
A sudden knock wakes her up.
Just as she reaches for the bedside lamp, she remembers that bizarre message.
She hesitates. Pulls her hand back. Hides under the covers until dawn.
The next morning, news breaks—her neighbor, a single woman living alone, was murdered at midnight.
Cold sweat drenches Fang Xiaocao.
Scalding Hot Noodles: To celebrate surviving the night, head to the flea market before 3 PM. Booth #7. Buy the seventh inkstone on the left. The seller wants 80 yuan, but it’s worth 8 million.
After last night, Fang Xiaocao dares not ignore the message.
She buys the inkstone for 100 yuan.
Antique Appraisal: Imperial Qianlong Inkstone—Valued at 8 million!
Fang Xiaocao stands frozen in shock.
Following the next set of instructions, she purchases a second-hand car…
Only to get entangled in a murder case—along with a fortune worth hundreds of millions.
Who is behind these messages?
Is it really her future self?
Or is she unknowingly caught in some eerie, high-stakes game?
