CEO powerhouse Shi Qianjin gets into a car crash but before she can get carted off to the afterlife, she manages to strike a bargain with death. She has 30 days to settle her debts. She is given a watch only she can see. Soon she finds she can stop the death clock when she is near pet mortician Zhou Qingyan. She’s pretty vicious in how she manipulates him through money in the early episodes invading his home, bossing him around.

The series is a reasonable 16 episodes. I liked the slow romantic build between the leads as opposed to the fast paced relationship of the best friends who got together in episode 2. There is nonsense ups and downs as Shi Qianjian tries to control her empire, keeping “Old Zhou” (his nickname) 2 metres near her, and stop her nasty uncle from trying to take over her company and throughout the story there there is a love rival or two.

The series completely lost me at the last episode. There is a happy albeit confusing ending. I still can’t quite figure out what happened. The term “jumping the shark” completely applies here. The writers clearly didn’t want a “typical” happy ending so they killed the male lead making it part of Shi’s “dream”. Please if someone can explain this mess I would appreciate it. Overall the series ok, perplexing, but certainly not worth re-watching.
