"Jet Lag Lovers" is a suspenseful love novel that combines time and space cycles and emotional games. Su Nian, a graduate student in sociology, accidentally activated the mysterious crystal "Tears of Time" after her boyfriend Lu Chen died in a car accident while trying to save her. She was forced to travel back to five years ago and accepted a cruel task: she must make Lu Chen fall in love with her friend Lin Wei in five reincarnations, otherwise she will completely disappear from the world.
However, Su Nian soon discovered that Lu Chen seemed to have looping memories. The two each carry mutually exclusive secret missions, testing, confronting and protecting each other in the maze of time. Every "matchmaking" carefully planned by Su Nian is always reversed by the invisible power of cause and effect; under the surface of Lu Chen's alienation, there is a persistent watch that has been buried deep for five years. When the truth is revealed at the graduation party, the two "prisoners of time" face the final choice: should they obey the rules and sacrifice each other in order to survive, or should they work together to defy fate and gamble on a reunion that transcends time?
The work uses delicate brushstrokes to depict the resilience of emotions under the crushing force of time, and explores the nature of memory, existence and love. The story unfolds in multiple scenes such as campus, hospital and perfumery studio. The rhythm is tight and the suspense is progressive. It finally leads to a warm and hopeful ending.
