Three years ago, 2.7 million yuan in project funds vanished without a trace, and every piece of evidence pointed to Zhang Yuan.
Branded a thief who'd run off with the money, he disappeared. His younger brother, Zhang Chen, left a suicide note and jumped into the river. The case sank into silence along with the river's waters.
Three years later, in the dead of night, Zhang Yuan suddenly breaks into Chen Mo's home.
Even more chilling, Zhang Chen, who should have been dead at the bottom of the river, is standing in the bedroom doorway.
Before their conversation can end, Zhang Chen suddenly collapses in a pool of blood. Black words appear on the wall:
[First cycle initiated.]
Again and again, everything resets, replaying death and confrontation.
Chen Mo thinks it's nothing more than a revenge trap carefully laid by Zhang Yuan. But as the cycles continue, layer upon layer of truth comes to light.
A prison of illusions, souls trapped by obsession, memories torn apart, and schemes hidden beneath human nature.
Zhang Yuan is trapped in fragments of consciousness, Zhang Chen is bound by the obsession of a dead soul, and even Chen Mo has long been living in an illusion woven from his own self-deception.
The betrayals, sins, and sacrifices are far more complicated than they seem.
One round of mind games after another, one twist after another.
Only when all his memories fall back into place does Chen Mo finally realize the truth: this endless cycle was never meant to force him to confess.
It was meant to force him to face the self he'd fought so hard to forget.
