Shen Yanzhi has lived for nearly a thousand years. He is the head of a deep-sea technology company and an ancient being whose true face no one has ever seen.
By the seaside, he finds Wen Yuan'an, a beautiful, aloof moon jellyfish who reverts to its juvenile form whenever stress overwhelms it.
In his first eight lifetimes, he feared losing him and protected him so closely that he left him no room to breathe. The tighter he held on, the faster the other vanished, until all that remained were eight bottles of wine, each labeled with a name.
In the ninth life, Wen Yuan'an begins to turn transparent in his arms. Shen Yanzhi forces himself to let go, giving back both his life and his freedom.
He thinks he is about to lose him again.
But the young man who is always glaring at him, all tough words and soft heart, swims back of his own accord before dawn.
"I didn't shrink, and I didn't leave. I came back."
