Lin Zhao was reborn eighteen times and fell in love with Gu Yuzhou eighteen times.
Every time, she thought this time would be different. But no matter how she chooses—get closer to him, stay away from him, save him, or even hate him—the ending is always the same: betrayed, let down, or reset to the original point after happiness.
After waking up for the eighteenth time, she finally decided not to walk towards him again.
It was also this time that she discovered the truth about the world: the city she lived in, the people she met, the man she fell in love with seventeen times-all were a string of codes. Gu Yuzhou is the "core program" of this virtual world and the anchor used by the system to trap her.
What's even more astonishing is that there is another "her" in this world - the consciousness clone that was stripped out after the seventeenth rebirth, Seventeen.
One is the person she has loved eighteen times, and the other is the other side of herself. When the boundaries of the world begin to collapse, and when the last passage left by his mother is opened, Lin Zhao must make a choice: return to the real world and let him disappear forever? Or stay here and let all the awakened NPCs go to freedom?
This is not a simple rebirth story, but a torture about "what is reality".
Concept: Love is the only reality that cannot be programmed, and awakening is the soul's eternal desire for freedom.
