On the last day of the divorce cooling-off period, Chen Dabao received an email from his father who had been dead for five years:
[On March 15th, someone wants to kill your wife.
He didn't stop.
He pushed her away as the lamppost crashed down, the billboard engulfing him. She threw herself at a child and never opened her eyes again.
When I opened my eyes again, it was 6:30 in the morning.
She was still alive, scolding him next door for turning off the alarm clock. Only he remembered that death, and there was a blood-red "7" on the back of his right hand.
Seven cycles, seven deaths, the number decreases by one for each death. The killer "tailor" who creates "accidents", the lock-key pairing written into genes twenty years ago, and a firewall that takes seven lives to activate——
The seventh time, either live together or die forever.
