Summary

A dying female CEO, Li Jinwei, and a gentle, refined doctor, Fu Yiqing—their timelines overlap, and fate restarts! Dong! Dong! Dong—at the stroke of twelve, the antique clock chimes on time. Its deep, resonant tone carries the weight of history, lingering in the air and filling the entire living room. The moment the chiming stops, it is as if the wind outside the window suddenly stills; the curtains stirred by the wind settle, and the silence all around grows almost frightening. Then comes a sound of footsteps—slow, as if coming from far away. Ta, ta—the sound of leather shoes on the floor, unhurried, the walker seemingly strolling in relaxed, composed ease.

Ethereal, illusory, as if from another distant time and space. Li Jinwei had a dream. She dreamed that her unconscious self was jolted awake by a piercing white light; straining to open her eyes, she saw a tall figure step out from that mass of white light—in that instant, like a god descending.

Editor's review

This is a romance novel set against overlapping time and space, centered on the critically ill female CEO Li Jinwei and the gentle, refined doctor Fu Yiqing, whose fates are reset in the silent moment when an antique clock chimes. The synopsis uses images such as the clock's chime, footsteps, and white light to create an ethereal and slightly suspenseful atmosphere; the dreamlike entrance "like a deity descending" hints that the story shuttles between reality and another time and space. The emotional tension comes from the contrast in the characters' identities and the opportunity for fate to restart, making it suitable for readers who enjoy urban romance combined with time-and-space elements to immerse themselves in during leisure time. The narrative rhythm moves from stillness to motion, with detailed descriptions emphasizing atmosphere; readers may note recurring images such as the clock's chime and footsteps, which often signal the points of temporal-spatial transition. As a genre novel, it emphasizes emotional experience and suspense progression, and its setting should not be judged strictly by realistic logic.
