Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng said nothing and turned on the television. A commercial for a shampoo was playing.

"We can't contact her directly and tell her when she should go to the ski resort, but we can make her come up with the idea herself."

Waldo snapped his fingers. "Ad! We can send an advertisement to her mailbox, pretending to be the ski resort."

"But she probably receives a lot of those. Strictly speaking, the advertisement will only raise the probability of her visiting a ski resort by a little."

"No... we only need one person to get it done," said Zhang Heng.

"Her girlfriend, the blonde from the band... what's her name again?"

"Yes. Black Nest is only monitoring Leah. So, we can plant the idea of going to a ski resort in Adele!"

"I can send the advertisement to Adele's email, and include a discount for couples," Waldo chimed in.
