The Reverse-Time Era: The Memory Pawnshop

When a convenience store becomes a hub between timelines, every purchase must be paid for with fragments of memory. At the lowest point in his life, Lin Xiaoman activates the Time Convenience Store, unaware that every trip back in time comes at the expense of someone else's life. A rigged workplace conspiracy, medical bills for his mother with cancer, a mysterious boy with a crescent-shaped scar, and a talking orange tabby shopkeeper weave together into a vast web of time that devours memories. This isn't just a feel-good tale of turning one's life around. It's a mind-bending mystery about how "the truth you think you know is always missing a piece of the puzzle."
