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

It was 4:37 am. There weren't many cars on the street, and there weren't many pedestrians. Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan were the only two customers in the convenience store. Meanwhile, the male shop assistant had put on his headphones and was gaming on his mobile.

The whole city fell silent as if fallen into a deep sleep.

"What about your illness?"Zhang Heng finished the coke in his hand and put the empty aluminum can aside. "You want to become Rocky's agent because you hope he can cure you, right?"

"I have a very rare illness. Back then, just to find out the cause, my parents took me all over the country and spent almost all of my family's savings. During that time, every time I opened my eyes, I could see my father's serious face and my mother secretly wiping away tears."

"You always look unhappy (# 'o'). This must be the origin of your WeChat handle, right?" Zhang Heng thought of something and raised his eyebrows.
