The world's number one hacker "Fox" Xie Lanzhi has been wanted by seventeen countries for three years and has always been at large. Gu Nian, the Chinese detective who was chasing him, blocked him on the rooftop of an unfinished building during the seventh operation.
Twin stars accompany the moon, and the building collapses. White light engulfs everything.
After waking up, Gu Nian found that his soul had penetrated into Xie Lanzhi's body. The good-for-nothing prince of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion was famous for eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. But Xie Lanzhi wore her shell and became a penniless gangster in the dilapidated temple in the south of the city.
Cat and mouse exchange identities, and their positions are all disrupted.
She grinds beans in a tofu shop during the day, and climbs over the wall into the Marquis's house at night to teach him how to read account books, identify hidden clues, and guard against his stepmother's killer moves. He used hacker thinking to build intelligence networks, mix distilled wine, and fool ancient dignitaries around. Two people have lived in each other's bodies and know each other better than anyone else, including the most secret scars and moles on each other's bodies.
On the day when the double stars align with the moon again, the opportunity to return to modernity is presented. Zhou Ye chose to stay, and Shen Yuniang's escort agency and five-year-old Xiao Shitou gave him a taste of "home". Xie Lanzhi stood outside the light array and said with a smile: "Let's go and teach the modern 'me' better for me."
Gu Nian stepped into the light array and didn't look back.
Seventeen years later, a genius boy came to the National Cyber Security Administration. A fingerprint database comparison showed that his genetic sequence exactly matched that of the "Fox" whose wanted order was canceled due to missing contact 17 years ago.
The young man pushed up his glasses: "My mother said that my father owes the world an explanation. I will repay it for him."
Deep in Gu Nian's drawer, a piece of yellowed paper was always pressed at the bottom. Above is Xie Lanzhi's crooked calligraphy:
"Gu Nian, next time the twin stars accompany the moon, I will go find you."
Goodbye, Mr. Fox.
——But who said we can't meet again.
Intent: Some partings are not meant to end, but to arrive in another way - love can span time and space, and can also transcend identity.
