❅.⊹₊WELCOME TO P─── CITY!₊ ⊹.❅

The holidays are here, but Mikhail Li couldn't care less whether he's on the naughty or nice list (spoiler alert, it's the former). So long as his dad keeps fobbing him off with exorbitant sums of money, he's content being a good-for-nothing wastrel. 

Maybe it's karma when, on the 1st of December, he T-bones a telephone pole and turns into a literal holiday spirit (read: he dead).

Mikhail: (°ロ°)

To come back to life, Mikhail will have to play a game of *checks hand* bingo with a man whose heart might be colder than winter itself. If he fails to win in twenty-five days, he’ll be deleted from the environment. Only the power of love can help him RETURN TO THE WORLD!!!!

Mikhail: "I’m dead??? Who cares about the power of love!! Can we focus on the stakes, please? What the hell does 'deleted from the environment' even mean?!?!?" 

System: 【WE’RE SORRY - ALL OF OUR OPERATORS ARE CURRENTLY ASSISTING OTHER CUSTOMERS - THERE ARE CURRENTLY (12,093,847,298,347) CALLERS AHEAD OF YOU - PLEASE HOLD—jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way♪~】 

Mikhail: “…At least tell me I'm the top...” 

(He's not.)

Hilarious and cute couples? ✅
A future contemporary Christmas classic? ✅
Made me believe in Christmas miracles? ✅

Hot chocolate worthy, and I would travel to the North Pole to experience this story for the first time again. 10/10

Do yourself a favour and read this with a hot cocoa in hand next to the fireplace, and you will have the best reading sesh ever.

as [redacted] would say: thankie ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

A charming, offbeat story with sharp and silly humor, strong characters with surprising depth, and a fast-paced narrative. If you're looking for something creative and out-of-the-box that's still a fun, heartwarming read, you'll love this!

waaaa ty august (⁠。 > ⁠ω < ⁠。⁠) ♡ .ᐟ
