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 third interviewer did not comment. All he did was flip through Zhang Heng's resume.

"I admire your courage to try new things, but I noticed that you have no previous experience working in a nuclear power plant. This is a whole new field for you."

"I can learn," Zhang Heng replied. "My learning ability is very strong."

"I know, I don't doubt that. I can tell from your resume that you've been promoted from assistant engineer to full-time engineer within a short period of time after graduation. You're very suitable for the job at the thermal power plant, so my suggestion is that you continue to stay there. To be honest, the salary we offer is not much higher than what you get at the thermal power plant. There's no need for you to give up what you're familiar with and start from scratch."
