Biological evolution has evolved from aquatic to terrestrial, and advanced intelligent civilizations have evolved on land. However, unknown secrets are also hidden in the more ancient deep seas.
The Sea Spirit tribe lives in the deep sea and has extraordinary talents, but as soon as they set foot on land, their abilities are lost. In order to break the shackles, the tribesmen developed a strengthening medicine, but the unstable properties of the medicine caused energy fluctuations, which were detected by human technology.
Terrestrial researcher Shen Huaixian carried ultra-precision instruments deep into the deep sea, and through the detection screen, he looked at this ancient race on the seabed from a distance.
Two worlds that have been parallel for hundreds of millions of years meet here.
Hai Ling is a young man who has forgotten his years. His father gave him his name in order to forget the year of his birth. His mother died giving birth to him, and his name hides his father's unspeakable fateful pain towards his mother.
He is as clear and pure as the glimmer of light in the deep sea. He and Shen Huaixian knew each other and fell in love between the two worlds. They stole a moment of tenderness, but in the end they could not escape the crushing oppression of racial opposition and fate.
If we had never looked at each other across the screen, if the deep sea and the land had never met, maybe there would not be only a "what if" left, hiding all the confusion and regret.
(The Sea Spirit Tribe is not a mermaid, the Sea Spirit Tribe is not a mermaid, the Sea Spirit Tribe is not a mermaid)
Intention: Taking the billions of years of isolation between the deep sea and the land as the boundary, using the encounter between Shen Huaixian and Wang Nian as the calamity, to write about the ultimate pull of interracial love that cannot be loved and cannot be desired, and the weight of fate, the opposition of civilizations, and the regret of never losing love are mixed into every sentence of "what if", and dedicated to all souls who have hit the south wall in love.
