Time Cycle, Return Date of a Thousand Days

When time stagnated in a loop in Wutong Ancient Town, Lin Mo had been looping on the same day for three full years. The young technology founder used sophisticated algorithms to record every detail until Qin Yu, the owner of the antique bookstore, handed him a yellowed book of poetry. When they reunited for the 1024th time, Qin Yu said with a smile: "Would you like to try taking a different route home today?" The intrusion of folklorist Su Wei creates cracks in the cycle. The scrawled excerpts from ancient books in her notebook echo the abnormal tremors of Qin Yu's pocket watch. In the dark, Chen Yuanzheng has already seen a gap in time. The man who controls a multinational group is turning the cycle into a huge experimental field, holding in his hands the dusty files related to Lin Mo's parents' research institute. Four time anomalies meet at the junction of dawn and dusk, data and intuition collide, obsession and protection are intertwined. They discovered that this cycle was not only a time cage, but also a continuation of the time rift accident twenty years ago. When Qin Yu's memory peels off with each restart, and when Chen Yuanzheng's conspiracy gradually envelopes the town, Lin Mo must find the only variable that can break the cycle in the logical maze he constructed - perhaps the answer has already been written in the emotions he has avoided for three years.
