Heaven's workings leave one of every forty-nine paths open, and one person slips away.
Two male leads: Wu Qing x Cun Yi. A possessive, deranged nonhuman x a little madman with a strong self-destructive streak.
Theme: Redemption goes both ways. We journey together through the white night.
Cun Yi is the only wisp of consciousness left when a plane of existence fell into desolation, the sole spirit born in time that has endured since antiquity.
The plane's affection granted him immortality, but he continued to grow through the long ages. The desolate, lonely plane and everlasting time were his only companions. Beyond them, there was nothing but emptiness.
And so eternal life became a curse that clung to him like a bone-deep sickness. Love became poison, and loneliness stayed by his side forever.
He longed for eternal sleep, slumbering beneath the earth and exiling himself to the wilderness.
Until a pair of hands led him into another world. Then he accepted himself, and accepted that world.
Instance One: The orphanage. You are my prized collectible.
Instance Two: The kindergarten. Toys should do what toys are meant to do.
The remaining instances are undecided.
