Half an Error [Cyberpunk]

On the day of her eighteenth birthday, Tang Yao felt a sharp pain in both eyes. When she opened them, her vision had changed.

In her right eye, crowds of people leaving work streamed out of the subway, scattering in every direction from the exits. Some looked tired, others chatted and laughed. It was an ordinary, everyday scene.

In her left eye, a girl in a brocade mamian skirt wielded a metal-alloy energy blade as she fought an unknown monster aboard a train. A young man in a round-collared robe knelt on one knee atop a flying vehicle, the cannon on his shoulder gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

The mundane and the bizarre, two utterly different worlds, appeared before her at the same time.

She walked out of the subway station and saw countless silver, grain-sized spheres scattered throughout her field of vision. The rhythmic hum of machinery made her head ache. Then, in the blink of an eye, she saw only streetlights stretching into the distance.

The two worlds kept overlapping before her eyes.

A passerby carrying a fan, dressed in a T-shirt and slippers and holding a bag of groceries, walked beside a woman in traditional clothing with a mechanical device on her arm. A bus pulled up right on schedule, only to be pierced in an instant by crisscrossing steel viaducts. The pedestrian bridge was replaced by a hollowed-out covered walkway, and trains rushed toward the horizon through layer upon layer of neon light...

Everyone turned a blind eye to the strange sights before them.

Reading Guide:

1. Traditional culture meets cyberpunk, with lots of original worldbuilding.

2. A dual-world setting, featuring melodramatic tropes such as past and present lives and lovers becoming enemies.

3. There are both male and female villains. If you can't accept that, please drop the novel right away.

4. The characters' values do not represent the author's. Please don't make personal attacks. Thank you.

Theme: The road ahead is beneath your feet. Keep moving forward, don't be afraid, and don't look back.
