She died seven times, each time returning to her 25th birthday.
In the past six lives, she had experienced success, wandering around the world, burning her heart with revenge, and also experienced extreme loneliness—but not once had she lived for love. In the seventh restart, she decided to "waste her life": open a small cafe, raise a cat, and have an ordinary love.
Then she walked into a used bookstore that didn't exist.
The boss looked up and smiled: "You're here."
She was shaking all over - this person died three years ago.
What's even more frightening is that he remembers everything about her: "You have tried six lives, and this time, you finally chose me."
It turns out that he is the gatekeeper of the time rift, voluntarily stripping away eternity just to insert himself into her reincarnation and silently stare at her from the corner of each life. He was not a miracle, but a fate she had never noticed.
When the mysterious old man appears again, he is offered an eighth chance to be reborn - at the cost of completely erasing his existence.
This time, she must choose: continue to start over and have an infinite life; or tear up the contract and grow old slowly with a person who is destined to disappear?
Intention: True freedom is not about having infinite choices, but the courage to stay knowing the outcome.
