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.

The banquet ended in a relaxed and happy mood. Only halfway through the function, Commodus had already made a move. Zhang Heng wanted to leave as well, but considering the personality he had created for himself, he had to wait until the end of the banquet before he could leave the place. Lucilla's visit this afternoon also reminded him that as he became more and more famous, more people would be paying attention to him now.

It was crucial that someone like him attended such an evening banquet. It allowed him to exchange conversation and make friends with powerful political allies. If Zhang Heng wanted to maintain his power-hungry persona, it would be unwise for him to leave too early.

Although Zhang Heng was not interested in socializing, he had to pretend that he was fond of talking to them.
