In the gap between time and space, there is a time ruins stack. The three innkeepers, Heng, Ji, and Su, sit quietly all year round, overlooking the joys and sorrows of the world through the veil of time, and abide by the rules and never tamper with anyone's destiny.
People with deep obsessions and unresolved regrets will have their souls drawn into the illusion of time and relive the past that has trapped them for half their lives. All reconciliation can only be accomplished by themselves.
But every time the soul is introduced into the stack, the time barrier that separates the human world and the ruin world continues to be depleted. The three inn owners each bear the scars of the past, and their ideals are pulled against each other; the foreign tribes are cursed by the time-series jade for generations, and they have been searching for the rift between the two worlds for a long time. The obsession of all living beings is gradually pushing the boundaries of maintaining balance.
This book is a long-term unit narrative, and the ordinary stories are mirrors that reflect the true heart of the inn owners: Shen Jingjia, a veteran of the border defense, Lu Yan, a traveler seeking relatives, Li Jingyao, a doctor... Mortals trapped in obsessions confront regrets here, and the inn owners will eventually face their own fate and make heavy choices with no perfect solution.
Intention: Everything that all living beings hold on to is an illusion created by the mind. Life is often about seeking but not getting, regrets and hard to pursue; all choices have costs, there is rarely a perfect solution in the world, and there is never absolute right or wrong in protecting and sacrificing.
