One New Year’s Eve, a “haunted house,” and an old, broken radio.

By chance, she makes contact with a boy from twenty years ago. She tries to save him from death and give him a normal life.

But she never imagined that this act of kindness would lead to a tangled relationship born of mistaken timing, changing her life forever...

What makes Cheng Jin so captivating?

His brow ridge, the bridge of his nose, the collar of his white shirt;

His knuckles, his cuffs, the command in his hand holding a belt;

His PhD, his SCI papers, his youthful eyes;

His love of piano, his habit of reading, and his obsession with cleanliness, the greatest in the world.

And the fact that he once told Lin Li, “You are the only person I have ever loved deeply in my life.”

“Lili, I’ve been looking for you for twenty years. I’ve thought about you every single day. I’m about to sell my very soul to you. Won’t you look at me? Won’t you look at me and try to love me?”

But Lin Li said, “Cheng Jin, the thing I regret most in my life is saving you, the boy who tried to die on the last day of 1999.”
