“If a mother’s love could fold space and time, I would choose to lose you millions of times over in countless parallel universes.”
On the night his mother dies of illness, 33-year-old Chen Mo accidentally transmigrates to an elementary school classroom in 1998 through a rusty school badge. When he opens his eyes amid chalk dust and cicadas, he finds himself trapped in a quantum superposition: his nine-year-old body bears the memories of an adult, while a countdown bracelet on his inner arm gives him 719 hours before his cells are torn apart between two time periods.
The equations on the classroom blackboard rewrite themselves. Four-dimensional creases seep from the math class representative’s workbook, and the school janitor Zhang’s watch spins counterclockwise… Chen Mo gradually discovers that his transmigration is his mother’s desperate gamble spanning thirty years. The ordinary factory-worker mother he remembers is actually the “spacetime anchor” holding multiple universes stable, and the textile mill badge she wears is the highest-level access key to a quantum laboratory.
When Chen Mo tries to change his mother’s fate and prevent her death, blue-clad agents from the Spacetime Administration pursue him at every turn. A warning written in blood by his future self appears in a classroom locker, and every explosion at the West City substation reshapes the timeline. He is forced to flee across multiple dimensions: writing future equations in the sandbox of a 1998 schoolyard, deciphering a star map hidden in his mother’s body in a 2023 morgue, and watching three hundred parallel versions of his mother die amid a rain of memory crystals on the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
As the countdown reaches zero, Chen Mo glimpses the ultimate truth at the edge of a black hole’s event horizon: the destruction of every universe is a choice his mother made to keep him alive. To break this bloody Möbius loop, he must sacrifice himself as the new
