Xu Xin, an antique dealer and novelist, was dragged into the strange "Blank Theater System" on the night of his mother's death. Every copy here is a fragmented and unfinished work: the cheongsam ghost girl in the rain lane of the Republic of China has bronze chains wrapped around her feet, the bookshelf of the steampunk library will eat lies, the bride at the wedding scene holds a blood-stained pocket watch that has stopped... The mysterious young man Ye Piao fights alongside him, and the black umbrella with a star map always unfolds at the critical moment of life and death, and there is a heart-stopping familiarity hidden under the shadow of the umbrella bones.
Xu Xin's ability to touch objects and read memories became the key to breaking the game, but when he touched Ye Piao's umbrella handle, he caught a glimpse of Wu Zhu who looked the same as himself on the altar of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The ink marks on the contract pages that fell down at the end of each scene actually overlapped with the manuscript of his suspense novel. When the amnesiac elder sister Liang Qin's medical box crawled out of the bronze gear engraved with the mark of Du'e Zhai, he suddenly realized that the names obliterated by the rules had long been connected into a bloody totem in his grandfather's pawn shop ledger.
Eight scripts, seven life and death situations. The dead souls of Mai suspended in the miasma of the peach forest, the inverted elevator maze of the clock tower, the chess game that whispers "You shouldn't be here" in the mirror... They used the rhinoceros horn seal of the antique dealer and the black umbrella star map to tear apart the rules, but they could not tear apart the old dream of the Republic of China that never ended in the memory maze. When the scarlet ceiling lights in the theater lit up for the final act, Xu Xin clutched the contract with her own handwriting on it, and finally understood the deeper meaning of the invitation:
"Are you willing to trade your name for a new life?"
How to understand DID? Maybe it's the way of expressing yesterday, today and tomorrow
