Shen Yan, who worked overtime until late at night, took the last subway train on Line 10.
The car door slowly opened, and a woman in ancient costume wearing plain clothes and wide sleeves walked in against the light. The train was full of commuters looking down at their phones, and no one looked up at her - no one could see her. Only Shen Yan could clearly see her hanging skirt, and could hear her lightly opening her thin lips and calling out his name accurately.
Colleagues all laughed at him for working overtime and hallucinating, until Shen Yan opened his palms, and a piece of fresh peach petals with warmth lay quietly in his palms. The piece of ancestral black jade on the chest that had been worn for twenty-four years was even hotter all night long.
The woman's name is Su Wan, and she comes from 1,200 years ago. She said that Shen Yan was an old friend she had been waiting for for thousands of years, and this piece of black jade was the token of the engagement that he had made with his own hands.
From the moment she stepped on this subway train, Shen Yan's step-by-step life was completely derailed.
The last subway is a gap in time and space that connects the past and present. The abandoned platform is a murky territory where evil things are entrenched. The mysterious figure in a black hoodie follows him everywhere, and the target is the black jade on his chest - it is the key to the ancient secret realm and the revenge bargaining chip that the villain Xuan Ying has been obsessed with for thousands of years.
The life-and-death confrontation in the subway tunnel, the fateful encounter on the rainy street, and the fragments of past life memories are constantly awakening.
Shen Yan finally understood that this last subway train was never heading home.
It spanned a thousand years, just to take him to an appointment that was delayed for twelve reincarnations.
