Sci-fi + equally matched leads + fated cycles of reincarnation; dual-memory narrative; an alternate world with a shared-pain bond
Xu Yanye and Jiang Huaichuan have traveled through three thousand worlds and been reborn in a cycle more than eight thousand times. Every life binds them in love and hatred, yet they can never stay together.
When paparazzi unearth a double burial coffin in an ancient Western Zhou tomb, and a variety show livestream accidentally triggers visions of their past lives in the Dunhuang murals, they finally decide to tear up the script. Xu Yanye burns all his management contracts, while Jiang Huaichuan smashes his Golden Eagle Award trophy. In their final livestream call, they smile at their thirty million followers. “We're going to reclaim the hearts we pawned at the Reincarnation Bureau.”
Later, travelers tell stories of an inn called the “Reincarnation Registration Office,” which can receive room-booking calls from any time or place, as long as you can say which life you once loved them in.
