Fall in Love with Your Nemesis, and the World Falls Apart

In a new world where generations are reversed, people are strictly controlled by the Keepers to ensure that the next generation, designated as "ancestors," comes into being. Every move must follow the Book of Fate.

That includes whom to love, and when to die.

Those who refuse to obey the Book are branded rebels. Once captured, they are executed immediately.

Sun Lingbai, the most cunning rebel, disguises himself to get close to Keeper Liang Qiufu and uncover the truth about the world, deceiving him into giving up his heart and blood for research.

When his identity is exposed, Liang Qiufu flies into a rage. During the manhunt across the city, he shoots Sun Lingbai's deputy dead and personally locks silver handcuffs around Sun Lingbai's wrists.

Sun Lingbai knows he can't escape death. So...

With a gun to his forehead, he smiles. "Baby, your blue eyes are still as beautiful as ever."

When he's caught, he clings to Liang Qiufu and won't let go. "By our old rules, now that you've caught me, shouldn't we do something fun?"

When Liang Qiufu gives him the cold shoulder, Sun Lingbai leans close to his ear under the pretext of piano lessons. "I only said I'd open my mouth. I never said what I'd say, darling."

Liang Qiufu is so furious he raises his gun, but Sun Lingbai takes a bullet meant for him when someone else launches a sneak attack.

As he lies dying, Sun Lingbai presses a hand to his bloodstained chest and chuckles. "Bet you didn't expect me to love you this much."

Liang Qiufu feels a stabbing pain in his chest. His terminal displays: [Abnormal world fluctuations. Collapse value: 20%.]

After Sun Lingbai recovers, they get back together.

Liang Qiufu warns him, "Don't lie to me again, or I'll still kill you."

He answers innocently, "Of course I won't."

As if.

Suppressing his glee, Sun Lingbai stays with him, stealing his communicator when he hugs him, pretending to sleep to eavesdrop on intelligence during his meetings, and passing along tips to the Freedom Party so its members can evade capture.

Liang Qiufu has no idea. He only wonders why the collapse value keeps rising.

Finally, one day, as he dries Sun Lingbai's hair, Sun Lingbai looks up and asks, "Am I your selfish desire?" Once again, Liang Qiufu hears the terminal's alarm shriek and feels his own heart pounding violently.

Only when he clutches his chest and collapses does he understand: love is the greatest rebellion against order.

The terminal warns: [Abnormal world fluctuations. Collapse value: 60%. Correction program initiated.]

Liang Qiufu decides to turn himself in.

But Sun Lingbai scoffs. "How do you know the world isn't a lie?"

He takes Liang Qiufu to a place where no one is controlled by a family tree.

The people there do what they love and love whom they truly want. There is no punishment, no warning, only happiness.

Only then does Liang Qiufu realize the Book of Fate is a complete lie.

It was made by humans, solely to enslave them.

He trembles as he falls apart, then finally takes Sun Lingbai's hand. Led by him, he joins the rebels and becomes Sun Lingbai's true comrade-in-arms and lover.

The terminal warns: [Abnormal world fluctuations. Collapse value: 80%.]

After that, Liang Qiufu uses his position to provide intelligence to the rebels. Together with Sun Lingbai, he rescues people who have strayed from the plot and stops wars launched to seize resources.

After countless struggles, they successfully capture the family-tree control center and activate its shutdown program.

But a pop-up suddenly appears on the screen: [The Keeper must connect to the family tree and be buried with the world in order to use shutdown privileges.]

Sun Lingbai freezes. Slowly, he turns to look at the man who was once his enemy and had spent years as his comrade-in-arms and lover. Suddenly, he no longer knows what to do.

Liang Qiufu gently wipes away his tears.

As the alarms announce the constantly rising collapse value, he says, "For the ten-thousand-and-first time, tell me our beliefs again."

"Don't cry. It's something we both love."

"We will never betray each other. Never."

The explosion is deafening.

An era ends in a tremendous explosion, then is reborn among flowers blooming from flesh and blood.

Humanity wins the war, and Sun Lingbai looks up at the sky, remembering his lover's deep blue eyes.

[Terminal alert: World collapse value 100%... 0%.]
