-

Xie Fuyu has been having a run of bad luck lately, and his friends advised him to visit a temple and pray.

But he couldn't be bothered to hike up a mountain, so when choosing between climbing a mountain and burning incense, he went with the Lord instead.

The unassuming church in the city center was majestic and ancient, with the echoes of hymns lingering in its halls.

The moment the Mass ended, Xie Fuyu was swept into an infinite-flow world.

The central square, the gleaming white statue of Saint Palemon, the vast, boundless sea, and the spires of crosses suspended in the distance...

Facing the sea breeze, Xie Fuyu heard a crisp chime: [Ding! Welcome to the Age of the Great Cathedral.]

There are two unspoken rules in the scenarios:

1. Newcomers entering a scenario for the first time don't know one another.

Xie Fuyu stared at the one-night stand who came straight over and silently repeated with his eyes closed: He doesn't know me x N

Yin Xun: Sweetheart, that dress you wore last night was gorgeous.

2. Newcomers entering a scenario for the first time receive a clue slip.

Yin Xun: ...Then why didn't I get a clue slip?

After Xie Fuyu entered scenarios two, three, four... all the way through ten: Then why do I still have a clue slip?

-

Yin Xun always thought he was the one who had chosen Xie Fuyu.

Until they stood once more at the crossroads of fate, with the old scene unfolding frame by frame around them.

Xie Fuyu struggled to raise his hand and touch his cheek, then lowered his trembling lashes to brush him with a feather-light kiss.

"Many people passed the screening, but I chose you."

From then on, we were inseparable, taking turns facing life and death for each other.

◎ Scenario One: Searching for the Lost Gold Coast

On an island with no beaches, a legend says that anyone who opens their window during the day will die, torn limb from limb.

As for nighttime...

Shh, don't open your windows when night falls~

◎ Scenario Two: Please Sort Your Garbage

Guests staying at this hotel must follow these rules:

Don't litter. Garbage must only be found in garbage bins. Be sure to sort your trash properly.

So what kind of trash do dead people count as?

◎ Scenario Three: Watch Him Build His Tower, Watch His Tower Fall

"I step outside, and if a ray of light wounds me, I will die among the moss."

◎ Scenario Four: I Wish I Could Become a Plant

A group of tourists visits an old village, only to be told they must plant twenty saplings a day to pay for their lodging.

The tourists, who can't tell crops from weeds and are lazy about physical labor, fail the task, and have to sleep outdoors on the very first night.

"I saw it eat him."

"I also saw the tree smile."

◎ Scenario Five: Have You Seen My Sunglasses?

There's a strange company on Finance Street.

To cut costs, anyone who fails to meet their performance target that day has to stay overnight at the office.

The coworker who greeted you this morning, the one who stayed overnight, really was the same person from yesterday, wasn't he?

[The great cathedral upholds an age of faith

The world enters a new era

Humankind strives to reach the stars

Carving its own story into stone

Brick by brick, day after day

Century after century, love never disappears]

--The Age of the Great Cathedral

◎ Faux laid-back but actually hardworking shou x faux gentleman but actually a real ghost gong

After graduating, Lin Wuzhi worked himself to the bone and successfully got into the Antique Restoration Bureau, landing a stable government job restoring cultural relics.

On the day he passed the hiring assessment, the director warmly welcomed him, then repeatedly asked, "You're an atheist, right?"

Lin Wuzhi: I'm an archaeologist, so of course I am ^_^

The director's eyes lit up with approval and promise. He assigned Lin Wuzhi to the bureau's most sought-after project team, where he'd restore an artifact.

It was small and delicate, shaped like a bronze bead, with a hole in the top and a hollow interior.

Lin Wuzhi thought it looked familiar, but no matter how many ancient texts he searched, he couldn't figure out what it was.

The next second, he suddenly felt himself plummeting, and Lin Wuzhi fell into a soft bed.

Curtains hung around him on all sides, and candlelight flickered red. A clear jingling sound rang by his ear. The artifact of unknown origin was perfectly intact, tied to a red thread. The long, tangled cord looped around a slender finger and was held in a man's hand. It was unmistakably a bell.

Lin Wuzhi: ...No wonder the first one ran away.

Apparently annoyed that Lin Wuzhi was distracted, the man leaned over him, bit his earlobe, and murmured, "Your imperial brother is dead. If you're willing, you can still become empress of the new dynasty."

Lin Wuzhi shuddered: ...Was he being made to cross-dress?

-

It took Lin Wuzhi a long time to learn that the Antique Restoration Bureau didn't actually restore the artifacts themselves. It filled in the stories behind them.

At the annual awards ceremony for outstanding employees, the director said with satisfaction, "Our work is physically demanding. You've worked hard."

Lin Wuzhi rubbed his lower back: ...I don't think your kind of physical labor is the same as mine.
