Wang Yu is a man toyed with by fate. In the primordial chaos of antiquity, he gained an immortal body and embarked on a solitary journey lasting millions of years.
In the prehistoric age, lava ran wild, giant beasts roamed, and life was as fragile as a candle in the wind. Yet Wang Yu was stunned to discover that his body could never perish. He joined a primitive tribe and taught them how to make fire by drilling wood, but his eternally youthful appearance made them regard him as an ill omen, and they drove him away.
After that, he traveled through the currents of history. He witnessed the construction of the pyramids of ancient Egypt and discussed life and death with the pharaoh’s priests, but could only keep the secret of immortality buried deep. He fought bravely on the battlefields of the Roman Empire, watching its borders expand and then crumble amid the flames of war. In medieval Europe, as the Black Death ravaged the land, he wandered its desperate streets, powerless to help.
After the Industrial Revolution, the world changed with each passing day, and Wang Yu repeatedly assumed new identities to fit in. Yet every sincere relationship ended because of his ageless appearance, and all he could do was watch his beloved grow old and wither away.
Over the long ages, he tried countless ways to die: plunging from cliffs, drowning in the deep sea, exposing himself to lethal radiation. But he could never escape the shackles of immortality, becoming a prisoner of time.
Then one day, he discovered a forgotten ancient text in an old library. It told of the Fountain of Life at the end of the world, the source of his immortality and the key to lifting his curse. Wang Yu resolutely sets out in search of the Fountain of Life. Can he end this painful immortality and find the answer that will set him free? An adventure across time and space begins.
