Lin Man was reborn from a world of bloodshed and corpses into 1962, carrying a space stocked with billions of supplies and dual superpowers. She thought she had been handed a winning script. But before she could even taste a bite of braised pork, she ran into Huo Qingci, the Thunder God of War from legends of her previous life. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and posing as an ordinary doctor on a blind date at a state-run restaurant.
Yet beneath the cozy facade of a period romance lurked undercurrents of deadly danger. Behind the "accidental" death of her father, who sacrificed himself to save a commander, lay the top-secret project codenamed "Starfall," the mysterious organization known as the "Vulture Group," and the strange sound of telegrams coming from an abandoned warehouse in the dead of night. Even more chilling was the crescent-shaped scar on Huo Qingci's wrist, identical to the Thunder God of War's, and his seemingly calm yet razor-sharp question: "Did you clean the blood off the rooftop that night?"
To investigate the true cause of her father's death, Lin Man infiltrates an agricultural machinery station rife with danger. There, beneath ordinary embezzlement and corruption, she discovers a "key" and a "tombstone" capable of attracting an unknown horror known as the "Echo." Huo Qingci's arrival not only brings her the final message her father passed on with his life, but also drags her into a vast vortex that threatens the fate of the world.
The remains of the "Cradle," the gaze of the "All-Seeing Eye," and failed "creations" whispering in the abyss... As the truth of history overlaps with the shadow of the apocalypse, Lin Man realizes that she and Huo Qingci have long been pieces on a chessboard spanning two worlds, with no way to retreat.
Set in a turbulent era, this is a desperate struggle for survival about trust, protection, the search for truth, and the fight against an unknown horror.
