The Messenger and the Midnight Bell

When fairy tales are forgotten, time will turn back. Fairy tale writer Lin Wei discovered that the "real" fairy tale written by her and entrusted to her grandmother on her deathbed was being tampered with by invisible forces: Cinderella's glass slipper turned into glass, and Sleeping Beauty's centuries-old slumber turned into a coma. What's even scarier is that everyone thinks these mediocre versions, minus the magic, are "the way they should be." Inheriting her grandmother's mysterious pocket watch, she stepped into the "Time Post Office" hidden in the cracks of the city and learned that she was actually the new messenger of time. An organization that calls itself the "Hand of Order" is systematically "covering" the twelve original fairy tales, trying to erase all miracles and accidents from the narrative and create a "reasonable" world that is absolutely safe and absolutely boring. The pocket watch guided her to the midnight scene of Cinderella, the first story that was about to be extinguished. She must witness with her own eyes how magic can be tampered with, find the truth behind the annihilation of miracles, and deliver the first letter that reinforces the "truth" before the prince creates a mediocre legend with his false "glass slipper". This is only the beginning. There are still eleven battles waiting: Sleeping Beauty's frozen time, Snow White's poison of innocence, the silent sacrifice of the daughter of the sea... Every time travel is a game with the "Hand of Order", and every repair requires an emotional price. Lin Wei's mission is to recapture the stolen glass slippers, spindles, poison apples and roses in the cracks of time before the twelve fairy tales are completely turned into pale fables, so that human beings' belief in "possibility" can survive the last glimmer of light under the siege of absolute reality.
