When Wen Xuqing opened her eyes from the scent of locust flowers, she thought she had just strayed into a misplaced time, but she didn't know that every step she took was stepping on the chessboard of fate that had already been laid out. She and Chu Suming met in countless "abnormal spaces". One was transparent and calm, and seemed to be able to resolve all desperate situations by instinct; the other was sharp and decisive, always able to seize the only way out in the fog.
They walked side by side through silent streets and silent buildings. The trust they exchanged in the gap between life and death became the only glimmer of light against the unknown. It's just that Wen Xuqing would occasionally be stunned at a certain moment - a certain melody, a certain scene, or even a certain whisper were like fragments sinking in the deep sea of memory, making her inexplicably palpitate.
No one knows that the rules that trap them in the cycle, and the "desperate situations" that have caused countless people to fail, originally originated from the foreshadowing she personally laid. She is the "survivor" walking in the chess game, the forgotten creator of the chess game, the starting point of all dangers, and the only "endgame" that can end it all.
When the ashes of memory are blown away by the wind, when Chu Shuming sees clearly the abyss hidden in the eyes of the person in front of her that even she herself has not noticed, the friendship they guard with their lives will eventually have the heaviest echo in the gap between "truth" and "survival".
