The World Is Not over Yet

Ji Mingzhu worked in the Bureau of Moral Affairs for nine years, specializing in recording the last words of death row inmates. Dead people will not change their words, nor will they be promoted, and they are easier to get along with than living people. Until a death row prisoner named Chu Shoushi stuffed a bronze key under his desk and told him: There is a star missing from the sky, and in ninety days, the world will be reset. The meaning of reset is that no city, field, name, or memory remains. Ji Mingzhu holds a blank "Book of Existence" and must find something that can leave words in the book before Tianheng comes. But the book does not accept the achievements of emperors or the teachings of saints, it only accepts one thing: A choice made when no one sees it, no one orders it, and no one knows whether it will be useful. He went all the way north, passing princes vying for throne, generals weighing in, rebels robbing food, and villages submerged by floods. On the way, someone told him that if he handed in the book, he could get his dead father back; others told him that as long as he wanted, he could do it all over again. Ji Mingzhu just held the book and memorized the little things that "it doesn't matter if you don't remember". On the last page, he said three words to Tian Heng.
