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.

Along the way, even the short-haired girl noticed the change in the atmosphere. "Hey, I have a bad feeling that something awful is about to go down."

Zhang Heng looked at her, but he did not explain anything. "We talked a lot about Han Lu. Let's talk about you," he said, instead of answering her.

"Me?" The short-haired girl was a little surprised. "How am I related to your mission to save the world?"

"No. I want to have a small chat with you," Zhang Heng said, "Anyway, we still need to walk a bit before we get to the museum."

"Well, let's do the small talk then," the short-haired girl scratched her head. "I am essentially a very boring person. My hobbies are lying in bed and reading novels and comics. I'm a movie buff as well. Though I don't mind socializing, I find it troublesome to keep getting my hair done. I take an unpopular course. I don't know what else to tell you."
