In Lu Mingfei’s seventh year at Cassell College, an endless autumn rain shrouds the campus in an eerie silence. He begins having strange dreams: a street sunk beneath the sea, a blade that burns forever. But when he wakes, he remembers nothing.
Deep beneath the college, cracks appear in a bronze gate that seals away an ancient secret. Something older than the Dragon Kings is awakening. It is called “Oblivion,” and it devours every memory until you can no longer remember who you are.
Chu Zihang is the only one unaffected. His dreams have long been empty: that place once belonged to someone else, someone who left a long time ago.
When Lu Mingfei sees the ghost of an old friend in his dreams, when Chu Zihang hears the long-dead Xia Mi humming in the downpour, and when everyone at the college begins dreaming of the same ancient city submerged in rain, they finally realize that this time, they are not fighting fire and strength, but oblivion itself.
This is not a story about victory. It is a story about “remembering for just one more moment before the inevitable loss.”
