Hearing God

A large-scale ensemble martial arts (Wuxia) drama called “Fenghua” ignited the entire summer. Gu Zhong, a third-tier artist who portrayed Yan Ruyu, finally achieved fame in the entertainment industry after years of hard work. On August 26th, at the celebration banquet for “Fenghua,” she finally saw the true face of Lin Shangci, the curious and reclusive screenwriter. She appeared more ordinary than she had imagined, and somewhat cleaner as well. She was like an observer of this world, and also like a shadow of this world.

The introverted Lin Shangci, faced with the artists who came specifically to toast to her, awkwardly sought help from her mentor and senior sister. She had thought that their encounter would be nothing more than a brief exchange of greetings and a toast, but little did she know that they would become a couple bound together by the ropes of fate.

After the celebration banquet, when she returned home, her phone’s chat group bombarded her with messages. A group member shouted, “Gu Zhong’s car exploded right in front of me, and everyone inside the car died!” The relentless tickling of the seconds consumed the present, until the sound of clock struck midnight. Lin Shangci fell asleep, having dreamless night. Until the preset alarm clock rang in the morning, she opened her eyes and looked at the date on the phone screen. It was July 24th. She had gone back in time.
