The atmosphere in the Civil Affairs Bureau was as cold as an ice cellar. Haitong, the bookstore owner's wife, was dragged here directly by the wealthy heir Zhan Yin on the day of the blind date. There was no sweetness, no excitement, and zero communication throughout the entire process! The staff repeatedly reminded that "this is a marriage", but the two were as firm and distant as if they were signing a contract. With the red book in hand, Zhan Yin handed one over in a formal manner: "Yours." Outside the door, a bunch of keys were thrust into her hand: "The house is in Mingyuan Garden, not far from your bookstore." He even suggested "intimately": "Have a driver's license? I can pay the down payment, and you can pay off the car loan yourself." The last sentence was even more amazing: "I'm very busy at work. I leave early and come home late, so don't worry about me. The family payment will be transferred to you on the 10th of every month."

The work integrates the mythological systems of China, ancient Greece, Northern Europe, Japan and other countries to build a large and self-consistent "Civilization of the Gods" battlefield. - **Theme Depth**: On the surface it is a passionate battle novel, but at its core it explores the conflict between humanity and divinity.

The reality is the biting cold wave warning, the false noise on TV, and the cold loneliness in the rental house. Li Xing, a desperate man who has exhausted his savings and only has a thousand yuan "coffin book" left, sits in the lonely light of the screen. For him, the world has long been a spiritual end - cold, numb, and lifeless. "Go, or not?" The hesitation was crushed. He chose to use his last life energy to bet on a crazy time travel. It is better to die in another world than to rot in this spiritual wasteland. The white light swallowed him up, along with the meager "apology". Consciousness floats in the vastness. Identity choice comes: hypocritical goodness? Twisted evil? Or... Inhuman? He chose a "bad guy with good intentions" - on the background of despair, retaining a glimmer of humanity, even if it comes from the dark camp. Opening your eyes, you see a metal cage 10,000 meters above the ground. A strange body, a strange route. Before the panic had dissipated, the clear voice of the little girl sitting next to her hit my eardrums: "Hi, how are you?" That orange figure looked extremely familiar. San Francisco? Little girl? Memory fragments flooded in - it was "The Adventures of Jackie Chan"! And he actually became one of the three villains, the Chinese nephew of "A Fen"! **Identities are misplaced and camps are blurred. ** **How ​​do "bad guys" with good intentions survive in the whirlpool of the confrontation between good and evil? ** **Has the keen Xiaoyu smelled the strange smell coming from the "black energy" on his body? ** **When the realistic sense of apocalypse collides with the fantasy crisis in another world, is Li Xing's time travel the final salvation, or will he fall into a deeper abyss? **
