Lin Zhao died once. The drug dealer she had been chasing for seven years hit the wrong side of the road. Without hesitation, she hit the steering wheel and the car hit him sideways. When she opened her eyes again, she became a twenty-year-old female college student - the real daughter who had just been taken back from the orphanage by the Lin family. The fake daughter had been living under her identity for eighteen years. Her right eye is still there, with a circle of silver-gray lines embedded in the light golden pupil, and the remaining traces of cause and effect can be seen. But there was a countdown clock in her mind: three hundred and sixty-five days, and she would disappear after one year.
She returned to the Lin family with the memory of the detective and these eyes, tore through the fake daughter's disguise as a top student, overturned the old case of the nanny swapping babies, and overturned the case of the girl who was bullied and fell from the building on campus. But the real mission of these eyes lies on another line. The drug dealer "He Yongnian" whom she chased for seven years in her previous life died eighteen years ago in this world, but the DNA of the unknown man's corpse in the chemical plant completely matched hers. She followed the corpse and discovered a gene editing network that spanned twenty years. What He Yongnian left behind after his "death" was not just a criminal network, but a "container": He edited his own genetic sequence into the genome of a newborn. When he turns twenty and his right eye awakens, another person's soul will live in it.
That person is Lin Zhao. The old enemy she had chased her whole life had planned her "rebirth" before she died. But the designer miscalculated one thing: how the chess piece moves after it falls is not up to the player.
