   Seven different names were carved on his body parts, all his own. Gu Qing finally found the first fragment of his dismembered body—a left hand. But on the inside of the palm was carved a line of tiny words: "First cut, Gu Qing, 2021.3.15." He continued searching, and on his right leg was carved "Second cut, Gu Qing, 2021.3.16," And on the inside of his chest cavity was "Third cut, Gu Qing, 2021.3.17"... Seven pieces of body parts, seven dates, all signed "Gu Qing." In other words, the person who killed him was himself. But the problem is, it's impossible for seven "him" to exist on the same timeline. The only explanation is: each time he sacrificed his memories, he would split off a "brutal version" of himself in another parallel universe, and that version's mission was to return and dismember his original self in the main universe. When he gathered the seventh piece of body part, seven "Gu Qings" appeared before him simultaneously, saying in unison: "Welcome back, the eighth of us."

Four serial murders in 2024 are inextricably linked to three cold cases from 1999. What untold emotional entanglements lie behind them? 3. A cunning and ruthless killer, seeking revenge for his beloved, waits 25 years, meticulously plotting, believing his scheme to be flawless, only to make a fatal mistake—a single mistake indeed. [Plot] A man stabs a woman in front of police officers and jumps into the river during a manhunt. However, the body recovered by the police is not the perpetrator's. Immediately afterwards, new deaths appear in the apartment building elevator, at the hospital, and outside the police station, triggering a kidnapping incident. The special investigation team discovers that behind this series of conspiracies are three cold cases from 25 years ago, as well as the love, hatred, and business interests of several families. The killer was cunning and meticulous in his planning, but made a ridiculous mistake – a classic case of overthinking. [Plot] The story encompasses crime investigation, mystery, suspense, business intrigue, and a touch of romance. There are two timelines: one focusing on the solving of the serial cases in October-November 2024, and the other on the cold case from 1996-1999.
