In 2473, humanity’s abuse of time technology triggers the “Entropy Rift,” and temporal turbulence tears reality apart. The survivors’ organization, the Time Thieves, plunders other timelines to keep civilization alive, but only accelerates the collapse of the universe.
The con artist Ye Tingyun and the executioner Shen Yize have had their memories altered, turning them into sworn enemies trapped in a hundred cycles. The former weaves lies with reason, while the latter hides his desire to protect. When the truth behind the “Foundation Reboot” emerges, the two must choose between saving the world and keeping each other alive.
In the end, Ye Tingyun uses a lie to make Shen Yize give up on surviving. But Shen Yize sees through the deception and ignites the chains of time with his blood. The consciousness of the twin stars merges, creating an eternal guardian of the tomb. Human civilization is reborn, while two marks carved into the foundation silently tell of a sacrifice that has been forgotten.
Theme: Beneath the outer shell of science fiction and fate, this story explores the tragedy of “sacrifice and forgetting” and “accepting loss.” It tells of two souls toyed with by destiny, and how they redeem each other and the world through self-destruction amid the irreversible flood of time.
