He is the only reality in a carefully planned trial.
He is the only god in the thousand-year solitary prison.
Gu Shi'an, a dandy young man from the top of the Space-Time Management Bureau, is unruly and unruly. His biggest worry in life is what kind of trouble he will get into today. In an "accident", he was thrown into a desperate situation called Qianzhang Ruins - a place where time and space are distorted, and countless historical courtyards with soaring resentment are locked between the mountains.
His guide was a man with silver hair and scarlet clothes in Qianzhang Ruins, who was as cold as an immortal—Xie Yanqing.
Xie Yanqing is powerful, mysterious and insightful. He guided Gu Shi'an through dangers, purified the "tumor of time and space", and taught him responsibility, awe and the weight of life. Gu Shi'an's complete trust and reliance on him, the throbbing and familiarity originating from the depths of his soul, were beyond his explanation.
However, there is an undercurrent under the trust:
Why did Xie Yanqing look at him with eyes that seemed to be piercing through the skin, staring at another soul that had long passed away?
Why does the golden mark on the side of his neck burn when Xie Yanqing approaches, like an ancient response?
Why does the end point of this trial actually point to... The demise of the leader himself?
Gu Shi'an finally understood:
That throb was not love, but the reverberation of "Gu Youning" from his previous life deep in his soul.
That dependence stems from awe, because Xie Yanqing is not a human at all, but a powerful soul that has been trapped for thousands of years and is almost a god.
Everything he has experienced, from falling into despair to trusting him, from ignorance to transformation...
They are all the cruelest and most effective "coming-of-age rituals" tailor-made for him by his closest relatives.
When the last courtyard - the dusty wedding room - suddenly opened,
Gu Shian must make a choice:
To fulfill the family's expectations, kill gods and become a qualified heir?
Or will he disobey his destiny and fall in love with his only god?
Qianzhang knocks on the door and asks about the dusty past;
The echoes of the years resound with unfinished sounds.
This is a scam in the name of love, and it is also a farewell sacrifice of the soul.
Intent: True love is not about repetition, but about creating new life in inheritance. It spans time and space, but it will eventually fall into the soil of reality and be guarded and nurtured by two independent souls.
