Zhao Tinglan, a fourth-year astronomy student specializing in wormholes, was defending her graduation thesis one moment, then transmigrated to Star Era 2026 the next, where she became an intern at the Institute for Interstellar Environmental Research.
She'd planned to get an internship stamp at the institute, then enjoy the high-tech life of the future.
But although technology had advanced at a breakneck pace, the environment was in terrible shape. Layers of space debris drifted in orbit, radioactive dust fell over the cities year-round, and the institute was nearly out of funding. She couldn't even afford nutritional supplements.
After work, Zhao Tinglan had to pick up trash in orbit to pay off her debts, barely scraping together enough for daily expenses.
She desperately missed the carefree days of university. One day after work, she shamelessly begged the director for a way to get home.
The director gazed at the waste drifting past the window, his face full of despair. “It's not just you. Billions of people are searching for a way to travel through a wormhole back to the past.”
Zhao Tinglan gritted her teeth and volunteered to transfer to the wormhole research team.
Through countless nights on duty, she complained about the endless data as she sorted through years of archives, hoping to find a way back among the vast amounts of information.
One night, a conclusion generated automatically by the supercomputer appeared on the screen: A living organism's spacetime anchor cannot match the channel frequency. After tens of thousands of experiments, the results confirm that only a consciousness whose life signs have completely ceased can complete a cross-temporal jump.
In plain language: Only the dead can transmigrate.
Zhao Tinglan fell silent for three seconds, slumped her shoulders, then sprawled over the console and wailed.
All she wanted was to get an internship stamp and go home. Why did going home mean she had to die first?!
