Seven years ago, Xia Kelin, an insecure art student, was driven to flee overseas after her boyfriend’s childhood friend told her, “You’re not good enough for him.” A family conspiracy and a forged psychiatric report left her no choice. Seven years later, she returns as a designer of high-end traditional Chinese fashion. Her left hand conceals a permanent tremor caused by human experimentation, while her right holds genetic files capable of bringing down a top financial conglomerate.
Top-tier star Zhang Luchen receives a mysterious threat on the set of an explosion scene. Amid the charred remains of a Milan studio, the wedding ring he never got to give her is revealed. When they reunite at a birthday banquet, the Miao embroidery star chart on her qipao and the implant chip at the back of the actor’s neck sound an alarm at the same time: the “psychological evaluation” that changed their fates was actually a genetic screening experiment controlled by the Zhang Group.
Amid the shifting lights of a metaverse gallery and a quantum collider, they gradually uncover the cruel truth: the star-shaped birthmark on the back of Xia Kelin’s neck is a key to space and time, while the fate of twins lies buried in the fractures of Zhang Luchen’s memories. As acid rain eats through the cocoon woven from lies, the hardest choice is not whether they can put the pieces back together, but which star must fall into eternal night to bring about a true dawn.
