Late at night, she hesitated over whether to delete the stranger who had been pestering her for more than three months, thinking that might be enough to end it all.
After waking from a dream, 40-year-old Zhang Xinghua had become a 46-year-old artist who had returned from abroad. She had a glamorous identity and superb skills, but had lost the one thing that mattered: who she had been before 2020. All that remained was the name "New Moon" and the cool, clear voice from her dream that had made her heart burn.
What she didn't know was that in the same dream, 31-year-old Dong Yichen had brought all his memories with him and become 37-year-old Dong Yichen, standing behind her as a stranger.
She no longer remembered him. But he remembered every fragile moment of hers in the dead of night. Long ago, without her knowledge, he had set out on a long journey for her alone.
A restoration project on the verge of being lost brought the two together again as a digital restoration artist and an artist.
She thought she was simply a digital artist with amnesia, but after an unexpected encounter with her mentor, she gained a magical AI fantasy watch that could connect her to an imagined kindred spirit.
He thought he was the only one who knew everything about her past, unaware that she too had a way to learn everything about his present.
He silently safeguarded fragments of a thousand-year-old civilization, while she used digital technology to give tradition a new breath of life. One lost in fantasy, the other clear-eyed, they plunged into a secret romance at lightning speed, falling deeply in love without realizing it.
At the same time, a cultural war involving conspiracies, scams, and parallel timelines gradually came to light, pushing two souls who had once been in perfect harmony onto each other's paths for good.
