When logic leads to an endless loop, the only variable is you in another time and space.
Lu Zhian has been trapped in an infinite loop for three years. A walking rule-deciphering machine, he is calm and rational, able to solve every deadly puzzle, yet he always falls short at the final step and is cast back into the endless cycle. Like an isolated island, he is on the verge of breaking down in despair.
A year later, Jiang Xun enters this bizarre world. A psychology expert with a keen insight into people, she quickly discovers the paradox at its heart: certain stages are impossible to clear alone. Somehow, it seems that a pioneer has left her clues to survive.
And so begins an extreme partnership across time and space.
Three years in the past, he leaves a coded journal aboard the “Ghost Ship.” One year later, she follows her instincts to decipher its secrets at the “School.”
He activates a crucial mechanism in the past; she opens a path to survival in the present.
They pass messages through the latte art at a cafe and exchange a glance amid the fragments in a theater caught in a loop.
They are each other’s only ally, and the only key either of them has to breaking the deadlock. When every clue points to the final destination, the “Clocktower of Time,” they finally uncover the world’s ultimate secret: the way to escape the loop is not to fight it, but to coexist.
“Lu Zhian, do you believe me?”
“Ever since I saw the first mark you left, I’ve believed you.”
A top-tier story of absolute rationality joining forces with keen insight to break the rules of time and space and create a romance in the depths of despair.
