Lin Wan never thought that an accidental stop in an old alley would make her life completely "out of control" - just because she bought the bronze lock engraved with lotus flowers, five completely different souls suddenly broke into her peaceful life as a clerk.
Su Xiao, a lively and out-of-the-box art student, always secretly fills sticky notes in her office; Chen Mo, a calm and taciturn bookstore manager, lets her read to dawn with niche books in her arms late at night;
The five souls took turns "borrowing" their bodies, making Lin Wan a versatile girl who "can draw, understand literature, make desserts, and play guitar" in the eyes of her colleagues. It also allowed her to encounter the ambiguous heartbeats hidden in her daily life amidst the panic and shyness of "identity switching" - the hot coffee handed to her by regulars in the bookstore, her neighbors stopping when they heard the sound of the guitar on the rooftop, and the surprise in their colleagues' eyes when they ate desserts.
But soul symbiosis is never a simple "shared apartment". The quarrels in the consciousness, the struggle for the right to use the body, the self-doubt of "who am I", and the people around him gradually realizing that "something is wrong" all make Lin Wan repeatedly pulled between collapse and adaptation.
When the past of the five souls gradually intertwined with Lin Wan's life, and when the ambiguous feelings began to be unclear whether it was "her" heartbeat or "my" concern, Lin Wan finally understood: Perhaps this bronze lock did not bring about "loss of control", but allowed her to piece together a more complete self from the fragments of the five souls.
And those hidden in brushes, words, desserts
