"Another Me" content introduction
Late on Saturday night, Yu Sheng received a call with no caller ID.
There was silence on the other end for a long time, and then he said, "I'm at the tavern you often go to."
——It's his voice. Exactly the same.
There he went. There was a person sitting at the innermost seat of the bar. Wearing the same shirt as him, lighting the whiskey he often drinks, even the small mole in the corner of his eye is in the same position.
It's another version of himself.
"I made a decision for you." The man said, "A decision you have always wanted to make but never dared to make."
Then he was gone, disappearing into the late night streets.
From then on, subtle cracks began to appear in Yu Sheng's life: the pub he frequented disappeared out of thin air, and his friends talked about things he had never done before, as if they knew another version of him. But the place in his heart that had always been aching was really not that painful anymore.
He began to look for that "other self".
In the convenience store late at night, in the dreamland that never dawns, in the unnumbered calls that ring over and over again. He met Jiao Xiaoyu, a woman who had also received his phone call and had also seen "another self". She told him: "Things will change. Maybe for better, maybe for worse. But they will change."
The two worlds are getting closer. And Yu Sheng must make a choice between them.
This is a novel about loneliness, choice and self-reconciliation. Dedicated to everyone who has ever woken up late at night and felt that there is another possibility in life.
