Death at Ten in the Morning
Gu Yan, an advertising intern, fell victim to workplace bullying and ended up falling from a building. Left in a coma, she became trapped in a recurring nightmare that replays every Monday at 10 a.m. Within this surreal nightmare, those who tormented her—the design director, HR representative, and finance staff—face tragic consequences one by one. Despite her attempts to save them, she finds herself powerless to prevent their demise.
One day, a psychologist named Xie Chen appears in her recurring nightmare to help her confront her trauma. He reveals that the space she's trapped in is a mental space where her subconscious processes her trauma. As Gu Yan transitions from passive victim to active avenger, she begins experiencing a fleeting sense of satisfaction from revenge. Yet, amidst the fleeting satisfaction, a hollow emptiness gnaws at her. Eventually, she learns that her tormentors have already been brought to justice in the real world, punished by the law for their actions.
With this revelation, Gu Yan decides to let go of her hatred. She ends the recurring nightmare, awakens from her trauma, and moves past the pain that has haunted her. Embracing a newfound sense of purpose, she devotes herself to creating impactful public service campaigns as a way to heal and give back to society, embarking on a journey of redemption and healing.
