In the autumn of 2035, the sunlight from the playground slanted across the top of the Ferris wheel. When Zhu Mian scratched the lottery ticket with the last coin, Jiang Chen squatted down to tie her loose shoelaces. She screamed and jumped up, six zeros flashed in the sun - 800,000 after tax, and her life seemed to be rewritten.
However, this is not a gift from fate, but the starting point of countless reincarnations. When his father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and when Jiang Chen disappeared into the mountains in search of life-saving minerals, Zhu Mian tore away the gentle appearance of time. She is the inventor of the time machine, but she is also a prisoner trapped in time: every time she travels through time to save her loved ones, her loved ones will die due to the butterfly effect; if she protects her lover, her loved ones will disappear on another wrong path. Seven reincarnations, seven losses, the scars on her wrists and the broken medicine bottles bear witness to all the "almost" perfections.
It wasn't until the ninth time that she saw the truth clearly at the moment of death in a car accident: the first generation Zhu Mian invented the time machine, and each time she traveled through time, she split into a new version of herself. Those familiar moments and those inexplicably familiar faces are reflections of struggles in different timelines.
"Love is knowing that it is overdue, but still signing for it." When Zhu Mian finally burned the lottery ticket that changed everything and chose to reconcile with the imperfect life, she realized that some futures are destined to be overdue, and the real courage is to rebuild life on the ruins of loss. This is about the dilemmas of time, ethics and love. It is also a story about a woman who finally learns how to lose beautifully after repeated negotiations with her destiny.
Intention: The preciousness of love does not lie in eternal possession, but in knowing that everything will eventually expire, and still being willing to devote yourself to every encounter and farewell.
