If one person is destined to be left behind as the sacrifice that opens the gate through time and space, who would you choose?
Li Cheng woke up as Lin Wei, the deceased woman who had been his unattainable first love in his memories. The teardrop mole at the corner of her eye burned, reminding her that this was no rebirth, but a dangerous “consciousness projection.” Forced to become the “Lock,” she struggled to survive in an unfamiliar world, where she encountered someone else who shouldn’t exist: Lin Hai.
A blood-red Anchor mark was branded on Lin Hai’s arm. He was the “Key,” an experimental subject forced to flee, and the younger brother of Lin Jiang, the gentle senior from her memories. He looked at her with a complicated expression. “You’re not her. But we have to work together if we want to survive.”
A charred notebook and a set of mysterious coordinates led them into the abyss. They discovered that they had been caught up in a carefully planned experiment in time and space that had been running for ten years. As the only successful “Key” and “Lock,” they were destined to face a cruel choice: when the “door” to the past or future opened, there would only be enough energy to send one person through. The other would become fuel, their consciousness annihilated, their mark stripped away, and they would vanish completely from every timeline.
Ghosts wandered through the rifts, forces watched from the shadows, and the notebook contained cryptic warnings... Every step could be a trap. More deadly still, the manipulator lurking in the dark seemed to have predicted everything long ago.
“When the three aspects become one, the gate will open.” What, exactly, was the third aspect they were missing?
They struggled again and again at the edge of the rifts in time and space, moving through the fog of memory and identity.
