Jiang Zhuang realized she had been dreaming a lot lately, but could never remember what her dreams were about. Whenever she woke up, she always felt strangely full for no discernible reason. She suspected she had developed pica. Things kept disappearing from her home every few days, and it seemed reasonable to suspect she had eaten them.
So she went to see a doctor, but he told her she was perfectly normal and very healthy.
"Is that so?" asked the beautiful, classically elegant woman, taking the prescription he had written for her, still somewhat uneasy.
The doctor, whose skin was unnaturally pale, spoke in a trembling voice. His legs, curled beneath the desk, were so rigid they seemed about to snap. He didn't dare move. It took all his strength to force a smile onto his face. "Of course. You're healthy, ma'am. You're perfectly normal... Please don't doubt it."
Please, QAQ.
Then, one day, Jiang Zhuang felt that something was strange about the world around her. She suspected that an unknown supernatural event had taken place.
She had evidence.
For example, a supermarket that opened only at midnight, an old subway station where people could enter but never leave, a maze of mirrored corridors with no exits and bloodstains everywhere, and a lonely old man at a crossroads. There was plenty more evidence like that.
"That's just a supermarket gimmick, a limited-time train schedule, a haunted-house theme, and an elderly man living alone with Alzheimer's."
Her handsome boyfriend placed a flower crown he had woven himself on her head. His iris-like eyes brimmed with tender affection. "You're beautiful, darling. I love you more today than I did yesterday. I'll love you forever, until the world falls and the stars fall silent."
Jiang Zhuang smiled shyly, more beautiful than a blooming flower. Deep in her jewel-like black eyes, points of blue light shimmered.
She kissed the corner of her boyfriend's mouth, carrying the fragrance of an unknown flower. "I feel the same, darling."

They wear a crown of drifting dream foam and sleep within the dream of dreams, the kingdom of the gods, the end of dreams.
They dispel nightmares of terror, devour the corruption of decay, and erase the schemes of the Old Ones. They are a new-born star, and they will compose the new age. The great ■■■Dream■■■ will forever shine high above!
Know this: the age of the gods has returned.
Remember to keep silent. Do not wake them (her).
Someone asked: How can you lull a god into peaceful sleep within a beautiful dream?
An apostle whose name is unknown replied: With unreserved love, a pure and sincere heart, and companionship that even death cannot sever.
An unnamed god said: Huh? You want to lull me into a beautiful dream? But... I've always been awake.
Still...
They thought, that bed woven from love looked so soft. They wouldn't mind sleeping in it for a while.
