Shen Xiaodan drank three thousand bowls of Forgetting Dust Soup at the ferry crossing of the River of Forgetfulness, yet her memories remained as clear as if carved in stone.
The Wangchuan Bureau saw her as a System bug that had to be eliminated. Meng Jing, head of the Dujie Bureau, whose codename was “Meng Po,” was ordered to hunt her down. While fleeing, Shen Xiaodan discovered that her obsession could turn back time, reversing deaths and changing outcomes. She fell into a parallel universe, where she met Li Junyi, a scientist with the same cinnabar mole as Lu Zhian, her boyfriend in her past life, and their son, Li Xintong.
In the human world, the mysterious tycoon Ji Mingxiu arrived, tracking the energy of her memories. At the Wangchuan Bureau, Qin Wuliang, leader of the high-ranking ferrymen, issued an elimination order on the command of the Fatespeaker.
With enemies closing in from all sides, Meng Jing revealed her true identity. She told Shen Xiaodan, “You’re the third person in a thousand years to survive a memory purge. The first two were eliminated, and the worlds they protected were both destroyed.”
The reason our world is so cold is that the Fatespeaker has deemed profound love a contamination that must be crushed.
Yin Li of the Dujie Bureau, Lu Zhou of the Yin Du Bureau, Shang Lu of the Jiancha Bureau, and Han Shui of the Lilü Bureau: the guardian deities of the Wangchuan Bureau emerged from the shadows one by one.
They had waited a thousand years, not for an opportunity, but for a person. Someone who could prove that the power of “love” was enough to overturn the cold rules.
From the human world to the River of Forgetfulness, from Ji Mingxiu to the Fatespeaker, Shen Xiaodan will tear through this system of rule that harvests memories and erases love, layer by layer.
The price is this: every time she turns back time, she comes one step closer to forgetting the person she loves forever.
