Shen Zhixu is a proud, rational genius scientist. When the apocalypse breaks out, the world becomes a playground for the infected. Her one obsession is finding Zhou Heng, the assistant who became “something inhuman” to save her. Zhou Heng injected herself with an unfinished experimental drug. Though she has retained her reason, she is gradually losing her memories. Her body is dissolving under the toxin, and only in the light can she briefly hold on to her love for Shen Zhixu.
They set out north in search of a safe haven, racing against time. Zhou Heng’s memories slip away like sand through an hourglass, and she desperately clings to every second she remembers Shen Zhixu. Shen Zhixu, meanwhile, does everything she can to carve Zhou Heng’s name into her soul. In this struggle between life and death, forgetting and remembering, can their love become a light that never goes out in the darkness of the apocalypse? Open this book and witness a love that blooms with breathtaking intensity amid the ruins of despair.
