Zhao Leman experienced two unbelievable things in her life.
The first was being trapped in an empty city.
Her companions were soldiers, researchers from the cultural heritage institute, a best friend who loved to joke, and two anime fans.
A glowing doorway appeared on a wall.
Beyond it lay Dongji Island in 1942, Fujiadian in 1910, the Mogao Caves in 1914, and Meili Snow Mountain in 1991.
She did everything she could to save people, calling herself a savior, never realizing that in the eyes of higher-dimensional beings, she was merely a laughable vessel.
The second thing was that she was reborn.
Her faith in everything she'd believed before crumbled, and the meaning of her existence was completely overturned.
The world demanded her obedience. Fate demanded her submission.
But she insisted on defying fate, on tearing through the layers of confinement, on carving out a way to live from the destiny already laid down for her.
She had a will of her own. She would no longer be anyone's vessel or anyone's puppet.
From that moment on, she decided, she would be the one to take charge of her own story!
