Xiao Daidzhao

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 was flipping through a book about photographic composition in the library this afternoon. He then received a call from Shen Xixi.

Zhang Heng got up, left the borrowing area, walked into the safe passage, and glanced around. There were only a few freshmen discussing assignments around him, and no one even noticed when he walked past.

Picking up the phone, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I remember you telling me before that you know how to drive?"

Zhang Heng knew Shen Xixi wasn't talking about whether he had a driving license, but she spoke of driving skills.

"Can you please help me with something?" Shen Xixi asked, "Heard about the news that was circulating in the forum recently?"

"Sorry, I haven't been on the forum much this week."
