People in Linchuan Town believe that people have only one life and only one past.
It wasn't until the seventh day of winter that the old gatekeeper told Shen Zhao that his sister had come to watch a movie yesterday.
But the theater troupe didn't start yesterday, and Xiao Yao never left home.
But there was an old ticket from yesterday on her body.
After that, Shen Zhao saw a prescription written by himself but with no memory in the account book of the drug store; in the Water Temple, which had been closed for three years, the name of a deceased person left four years after his death appeared; behind the red door, another young man also named Shen Zhao sat.
After leaving Linchuan, he realized that what practitioners call "returning to oneness" is to choose one of the countless lives to stay.
The soul can see the shadow of the past, keep the consciousness and never forget the self, seal the existence, see the future, and the localizer can even make a city only recognize a certain kind of past.
The centuries-long stability of the Dading Dynasty was built on countless abandoned lives.
Three years ago, someone tried to combine two Shen Zhaos into one.
Now, the one behind the door is coming back.
What he wants to take back is not his name, nor his sister.
But the entire life that Shen Zhao has now.
