In a cultivation civilization where time has become hard currency, "Yesterday's Reset Agreement" is a life-and-death contract engraved on an amber jade slip. The monks pledged their spiritual vein mining rights for the next hundred years in order to borrow three days to break through the realm. Once they break the contract, what awaits them is not a catastrophe - but a permanent exile "outside today" by the law of time: the flesh dissolves into the present world like ink stains, traces of existence are completely erased by the law of cause and effect, and only dazzling blanks remain in the memories of loved ones.
The low-level Chronologist patrols Lu Li and sees the defaulters turning into nothingness in front of the bronze sundial every day. When the black market handed over a sky-high commission for forging a time contract, he held his blank jade slip and fell into a desperate situation: he might be able to survive by tampering with the Sands of Time, but if there were any flaws, he would fall into "existential annihilation" that is more terrifying than death. And when he took the risk and touched the first forged contract rune, the screams of the exiles who were supposed to disappear came from the depths of the jade slip - they were weaving a web of revenge that would destroy the world in the gap of time...
