On a cold spring day in March, people all over the world woke up from their sleep and found without warning a wooden box at the door, with their names engraved on it, and inside there was only one line and one sentence: The line of your destiny lies in it. No one knew the origin and intention of the box, and all the surveillance cameras that night were disabled. It was originally thought to be some kind of large-scale prank, but as thousands of authentication photos were posted online, the world suddenly fell into panic, and governments around the world rushed to investigate. A few months later, governments of various countries, in conjunction with the United Nations, unanimously confirmed that the line in the box represents the length of your life. As long as the actual length of the line is known, the exact age at death can be calculated. The story of "Life Without "Lines" unfolds from the perspectives of multiple characters, each of which frames a different shape of life: an emergency room doctor who saves countless lives but cannot save his own, a friend who thinks we can grow old together, a military school classmate who is forced to exchange dreams, a strange pen pal who unexpectedly becomes romantically involved, and an ambitious politician favored by the god of fate. Destiny has long been determined, but how to interpret it and how to deal with it depends on human will and choice. With the arrival of the wooden box, the world has changed a lot, but it can be said that it has hardly changed, because people are still confused and hesitant, still busy and afraid of losing, still feeling uneasy in happiness, and still moving steadily towards the light in the unknown.
