In his previous life, one knife blow separated Zhang Haiyan and his love forever. Against all odds, he is reborn.

A hidden game of connecting the dots? This time, he'll break the chain of clues from within and give his shrimp boy a peaceful life.

A Sentinel's five senses are perpetually overloaded, but he's willing to open his entire mental domain and let Zhang Haixia live there. A snake and a bulbul should be natural enemies, yet a blood pact from their youth binds them tightly together. Their hearts beat in sync, and they face life and death side by side.

This time, when the waves finally recede, they'll stay together for the rest of their lives.
