Award-Winning Work: Miss Miracle (62 episodes)
Story Synopsis:
Mia Miracle, an ordinary college student, works part-time in her aunt Susan’s antique shop. One day, she discovers a mysterious treasure called the “Miracle Box” in a hidden room, gaining the ability to transfer misfortune onto others. Each use of the box strengthens her powers, gradually evolving within a mysterious system in her mind.
Soon, two criminals attempt to steal the box but are thwarted by Mia. Her journey into a fantastical world begins.
A mysterious woman, Sophia, arrives at the shop to buy the box at a high price, but a disguised assassin attacks Mia. With Susan’s timely help, they subdue the assailant, revealing a larger threat: Kelly Charles, the “Red Queen.”
The Red Queen orders her vampire bodyguard Louis Vincent to arrange another assassination. Louis’s sister, Kiki, disguised as a student, attempts to poison Mia, only to be stopped by Clark Murphy, another young vampire.
During the day, Clark protects Mia at college, while the werewolf Michael Burke guards her at night. Michael is deeply in love with Mia, but Clark is the fiancé appointed by Mia’s late mother, creating a complex love triangle.
In a nighttime attack, Michael is severely injured protecting Mia, who realizes the struggle goes beyond her—it involves family, fate, and long-standing grudges. Aunt Susan reveals that Mia’s mother, Michelle Miracle, was a white witch with precognition and luck-manipulating powers. She once loved business tycoon Adam Charles and helped him establish the Jin Qiao Group. Out of jealousy, Michelle’s sister, the Red Queen Kelly, sought revenge using dark “Death Curse” magic to threaten Adam and infant Mia.
To protect her family, Michelle consumed the demon fruit, disguised herself as a demon, and left Adam alone, secretly setting a future spell: if Kelly harms Mia, Kelly will lose everything. The Red Queen refuses to accept this fate and uses the Miracle Box to alter the future, targeting Mia and her inheritance.
Mia learns that Sophia is her half-sister, and their mothers were both victims of the Red Queen. To avenge their families and save their father, the sisters join forces. Susan provides Mia with an “Immunity Necklace” against the Death Curse, though its pair is held by the Red Queen. Mia discovers her father is cursed rather than ill.
During a family banquet, Mia uses the necklace to block the curse. The Red Queen attempts to test Mia using the demon fruit, but Michael intervenes, revealing Michelle’s past and exposing the truth. Mia proves her father’s condition is due to the curse. The Red Queen’s son, Jacob, dies unexpectedly, and she seeks the Miracle Box to resurrect him.
In the climactic battle, Mia channels immense misfortune, striking the Red Queen with divine lightning, reducing her to ashes. Mia and Michael share a heartfelt kiss. Clark and Kiki defeat Jacob, and love blooms between them. The Miracle Box fulfills Mia’s wish: her mother is resurrected, Adam recovers, and the family is finally reunited in happiness.
