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

The team searched through the town's grocery stores and shops before they found a notebook wrapped in parchment. Zhang Heng used the parchment and Besonova to complete the Vow Rings ceremony.

If Besnova harbored any bad intentions toward them, Zhang Heng would be the first to know and stop her.

Of course, it would be best if such a situation didn't occur.

To make Besnova realize this, Zhang Heng even invited her to play a little game. He allowed her to think about anything.

Besnova thought about her boyfriend and whether the hospital would send people to look for her after they found out that she was missing. Zhang Heng didn't respond. However, once she thought about how to escape, a small knife was placed on her neck.

The chill from the blade caused goosebumps to sprout on her neck. Even with Besnova's boldness, she was shocked by the sight. The way she looked at Zhang Heng changed completely.
