About This Novel

After antique restorer Zhi Xu moved into a small detached building in the old city, he discovered that the ancestral clock in the living room hid a secret - every midnight, the hands would break away from the gears and reverse counterclockwise, and would not return to normal until three in the morning. What's even weirder is that when the clock goes backwards, a vague shadow will always appear in the room, as if someone is repeating the actions they did many years ago. In order to find out the truth, she dug out the work notes left by her grandfather, and on the yellowed pages, she came across the name "Yanqiu" in 1943. One is a restorer guarding the fragments of time, and the other is a vague figure living in reverse time. When the gears of the clock reverse again at midnight, Zhixu finally sees clearly: those repeated actions are not the wandering of ghosts, but someone using time backwards to guard an unspoken agreement. It turns out that every second the clock goes back is the countdown of longing that refuses to be forgotten.
