Twin Lives of Love and Longing: The Beginning of a Mismatch

On a stormy night, a golden bolt of lightning splits two worlds apart.

He awakens as the youngest chief councilor in the Great Yin, powerful enough to sway the imperial court, yet coldly distant from the wife he has been married to for three years.

He awakens as the most ordinary office worker in a modern city, timid and hesitant, secretly in love for four years but unable to confess.

They exchange souls, and they exchange fates.

In ancient times, he uses knowledge far ahead of its age to unleash a storm of reform, and also melts the heart of the person who has waited for him for three years.

In the modern world, he unleashes the brilliance he had kept suppressed, rises from having nothing to become a business legend, and finally stands beside the person he has loved for four years.

But they do not know that this exchange was never an accident.

Three ancient, uncorrupted scrolls. Three cold copper keys. A rare alignment of two stars, three years from now.

As the clues quietly converge, they discover...

Some encounters span a thousand years.

Some loves are destined to be entwined.

Some choices, once made, last a lifetime.

The beginning of their dislocation, the turning of fate.

Their story has only just begun.
