Echoes of the Time Abyss Beneath the Tidal Marks

**“Mom, time is crying.”**

When my daughter said those words, I knew I couldn’t keep the secret hidden anymore. Seven years ago, Gu Yu “died” in a deep-sea accident. The whole world saw him push me away. No one knew that all the memories he gave me were blank.

Seven years later, I’ve become a scavenger selling “the future,” struggling to get by with my chronically ill daughter. Then my attending physician takes off his mask. It’s Gu Yu. He’s alive, and he’s back with the truth: someone has altered time.

**“You are the anchor point in time. Saving the world will trap you.”**

On one side, my daughter clutches my clothes. “Mom, don’t go.”

On the other, Gu Yu reaches out to me at the end of time. “This time, I’ll stay trapped in eternity with you.”

**Love is the only force that can fold the dimensions of time. It makes every loop lead back to you.**
