Shang Xu felt that her whole life had been like watching crickets fight: first she fought with her adoptive mother, then with her adoptive sister, and in the end she managed to get herself killed.
Maybe she was too much of a menace to die young, because she came back to life, carrying her memories into a futuristic world.
Humanity in this world is divided into three kinds: guides, sentinels, and ordinary people.
When she sees the crown prince on screen, who looks exactly like her adoptive sister and even shares her little mannerisms, Shang Xu realizes that she is not the only one who has been reborn.
For the sake of a peaceful life, she decides she must never appear in front of her adoptive sister, no matter what.
So she lives as an ordinary person for 25 years, and even gets herself a sentinel partner.
Just as they are about to get engaged, her gentle, reserved fiancée suddenly breaks things off.
She looks at Shang Xu with longing and pain in her eyes. "Who are you seeing when you look at me?"
Shang Xu: ?
Who was I looking at?
Before she can explain herself, the guide identity she has hidden for years is exposed.
And the order to hunt her down comes directly from her adoptive sister.
As the final straw that kills her, Shang Xu accepts her fate and admits defeat.
But her adoptive sister clutches her, face full of indignation. "Why can't it be me? I'm the person in the world who understands you best."
Shang Xu: ?
What is this supposed to mean?
After finally escaping her unhinged adoptive sister, Shang Xu barely has time to catch her breath before falling into a contaminated zone.
Good news: Shang Xu discovers her origins.
Bad news: There is another version of her in this world.
The boy who looks just like her strokes her face, smiling as he sweetly pleads, "I like you so much. Can I stay by your side?"
Shang Xu: "I'll have to pass."
As she flees her pursuers through the contaminated zone, her blood-covered neighbor appears in front of her, unconcerned by his many injuries, his eyes bright and bold.
"Shangshang, I'll take you home."
