Twelve years ago, Shen Nian's mother died of an illness. At twelve, he was diagnosed with “intermittent amnesia.” He would slowly forget her voice.
Twelve years later, he works as a food delivery rider. On one of his delivery runs, he finds a bronze talisman. Collect all twelve zodiac charms, and you can make one wish.
Shen Nian begins collecting them. Each time he uses the talisman, another mark appears on his body; each charm he finds takes him one step further from being “human.”
What he doesn't know is that the final charm is inside the person he cares about most.
And he knows even less that his mother said three things before she died. He remembers only one.
