Seventeen-year-old Pan Qiyue leapt from the twelfth floor on the eve of her college entrance exams, only to fall into Chang'an, a city in the world of Honor of Kings.
Severe depression and bipolar disorder followed her like shadows. Her dream of attending police academy, the bullying at school, and her utter disillusionment with reality were all swept into the winds of the High Tang by a sudden flash of light.
Beneath the red walls of the Dali Temple, she encountered Yun Ying, whose spear tip blazed with fire; Li Yuanfang, whose ears twitched ever so slightly; Di Renjie, with his steely gaze; and Shangguan Wan'er, with her flying-white calligraphy, Gongsun Li, with her paper umbrella, and Yang Yuhuan, with her pipa... They called her a stranger from another land, but for the first time, they also made her someone who was needed.
From suicide attempt survivor to female constable, she took up the blade at seventeen. What she cut through was not just the night fog of Chang'an, but also the seemingly endless sea of darkness in her own heart.
When the countdown to the college entrance exams reaches zero in another world, she must choose: return to the rooftop she once stood on and finish her fatal fall, or stay in the Rift of Kings, pin a police badge to the chest of her school uniform, and make a real arrest by catching the killer who wants her dead most of all?
"This time, I'll arrest despair with my own hands and pull my seventeen-year-old self back from the abyss."
If the world makes you jump, then switch to another world and run.
