One day, Lin Yi received news that her mother had gone missing. While searching her mother's home for clues, she found a notebook documenting the deeds of a serial killer.
Strange events followed one after another after the notebook appeared. She met a boy whose outward appearance didn't match his inner nature, and after the bizarre changes she had witnessed, she couldn't help suspecting that he was a killer sent to assassinate her.
But this boy not only claimed to know her mother, he kept saving her, too?
The notebook of fate was opened. Her mother had been a survivor of a 1988 murder case, and stranger still, the killer vanished just before his execution.
Her ordinary life quietly began following a predetermined course. The moment she closed her eyes, she fell into another dimension with the notebook.
They say time stops for everyone trapped in this dimension. Could it be that the boy she first met really was "old beyond his years"?
The boy said, "I have a notebook just like it."
All the pieces were in place. The two notebooks recounted the strange events of that year.
In 1988, Shen Xinyu was still a student when she met a bright, cheerful girl from another dimension.
The girl gave her a notebook as a birthday present.
She never imagined that the notebook would eventually be used only to record the killer's many atrocities...
Notes:
1. Everything is made to make sense within the story, so don't take it too seriously.
2. The cases draw on real-life cases for reference. Please don't conflate them with reality.
3. Sometimes serious, sometimes chaotic, always freewheeling.
