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

Seeing how persistent Zhang Heng was, Wendy said nothing but obediently followed him back to her ranch.

A woman milking a cow in a cowshed saw Wendy returning and immediately put down the milk bucket and ran over. Taking Wendy into her embrace, she sobbed, "Great, they said a strange oriental man kidnaped you. And Matthew is not there. I almost died of worry!"

Wendy tried to move her head away from her mother's chest, and she glanced at Zhang Heng awkwardly, "Sorry..."

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "It okay. Such is the nature of humans."

Wendy's mother finally noticed Zhang Heng, immediately shoving her daughter behind her, a hint of alertness showing in her eyes. She probably did not know what to say, so she just stood there.

The scene was a little awkward. In the end, Zhang Heng broke the silence. "I have escorted your daughter back here safely. You'd better watch her and don't let her run off anymore."
