During the rainy season in Hangzhou, Lu Qingtang, who is of wizard blood but was judged to be "unskilled", guards his old house at No. 27 Wantang Road alone. The house has twenty-six visible doors, and a twenty-seventh door that only appears when someone makes a voluntary choice. Zhou Ning, who resolutely left Pengcheng, moved into Room 21 following a non-existent rental information with the old wounds of being forged authorization and betrayed intimate voice messages by his partners. She can hear the echoes left by people, addresses and promises forgotten by the city; her arrival also makes Lu Qingtang's power that has been dormant for many years truly respond for the first time. From old umbrellas on rainy nights, abandoned last trains to night markets without lights, the two discovered that every anomaly led to the same deleted history: Twenty-one years ago, the Lu family and twenty-seven ordinary people worked together to seal the crack on the back of the city, but then the names of the witnesses were erased in the name of safety. Now, the "Chengming Urban Memory Research Center" is trying to use the city's forgetfulness to bring a missing person back to reality. If return must occupy another person's life, who has the right to decide for the city what to remember and who to forget? This is an urban fantasy adventure about doors, names and choices, and a journey that proves closeness without sacrifice and possession.
Purpose: Through the fantasy adventure of the two heroines guarding the echo of the city, it explores commitment, forgetfulness, trust and belonging, and expresses that only by facing the past, cherishing commitments and understanding each other can we get out of trauma and find a true home.
