He is a living dead man struck from the military’s records. She is a thief of fire who controls time. This contract marriage worth trillions turns out to be the beginning of humanity’s reboot plan...
Deadly trap: When Jiang Yanci, a retired sniper, takes the night shift at a convenience store, he never expects a billionaire CEO to “propose” with three property deeds. Worse still, the seal on their marriage certificate is barely dry when he discovers he actually died on a classified mission two years ago. The man he is now is a clone, grown by his wife from crystallized male genetic material!
Prisoner of time: Shengshi Group CEO Shen Zhaoning is publicly a formidable tech queen, but in truth, she is a test subject in the Ouroboros time-anchor project. The barcode at the back of her neck bears a countdown: 427 days until Parallel Timeline No. 17 consumes the current worldline.
As the dimensions of their lies collapse:
The military’s top brass implant a self-destruct program in the clone’s spine.
In the dead of night, the heroine turns into a murderous personality with slit pupils.
Forced to love and fight each other in the folds of time:
“You’re the husband I stole from Death.” Shen Zhaoning presses an electromagnetic blade to Jiang Yanci’s heart.
“Then remember...” Jiang Yanci catches the hand holding the blade. “The only one who can kill you is me, the counterfeit.”
Questions of the soul:
Do clones deserve human rights?
If rebooting the timeline erases the existence of millions, what would you choose?
If you must choose between saving the world and protecting your beloved, is turning against the world the best solution?
Final teaser:
When the person beside you in bed becomes the most dangerous variable, is this marriage, born of lies, destined to end with the destruction of spacetime?
