At the stroke of midnight, a silver mark bound two strangers as "accomplices."
Shen Zhiyao, a college student with a gentle appearance, is naturally good at catching the cracks in people's hearts. Years ago, he watched a person break in front of him, and a trace of joy that shouldn't exist surged through his heart. That bit of darkness was locked in his bones, wrapped in gentleness and grace, making it airtight.
Lu Chenyuan, a calm and self-possessed psychology lecturer, suffered from trauma at the age of eight like a thorn piercing his bones. He knew trauma theory better than anyone, but he couldn't save himself. The real fear is not death, but being completely forgotten.
They are forced to enter the dreamer's subconscious together to deal with unresolved spiritual obsessions. Last year, the lecturer took his students, from the family transparent person in the living subconscious, to the overtime worker with self-PUA, to the twenty-three troupe actors who perished in the sea of fire in the abandoned old dream, and the remnants of countless abandoned children...
Every dream is a festering wound in the human heart, and every clearance is gnawing at their own memory and existence.
Destroy the obsession, and the soul will bite back; hijack the obsession, and the personality will be swallowed up; sacrifice and replace it, passing hell to the innocent. All three roads are dead ends.
And he wants to hold his hand and walk the fourth way.
Intention: Two people who bear the original sin hold on to the bottom line amidst the shackles of the system and the desperate situation of life and death. They serve as anchors for each other and accept their imperfect selves and destiny.
