He Wei took over a mu*der case in an abandoned mansion, and the deceased Cheng Zesheng, Male, a pianist, was killed by gunshot.

At the same time, in the same mansion, Cheng Zesheng was leading a team to inspect the scene. The deceased, He Wei, male, a company employee, died of suffocation.

Different worlds, and different professions, the only thing in common was that they had died in each other’s world.

What was it that connected the protagonists of the mu*der investigation in the two parallel worlds? With the collision of time and space, the two parallel spaces had quietly changed. He Wei gradually found that this was an unsolvable situation. Struggling in the cycle of fate, how could Cheng Zesheng be saved?

Without meeting, there would be no beginning.

When the clock strikes zero, would he still stand the opposite?

Firstly, it was a really really really good read. The plot was thrilling and it had me hooked throughout the book. I will say this book is a must for those who like reading mysteries. As for me, although I liked reading mysteries, sometimes, some of the books are just too difficult and too complicated for me to solve the mystery. But the author of this book put sufficient clues here and there for us to solve throughout the book and not like some books where you don't know what's... more>> happening and then there is the protagonist suddenly finding out the solution and stuff. Of course, there are also some weak plots and plot holes but these are minors so we can ignore them more or less.

Spoiler

There is this time when He Wei went to see the movie about parallel world and stuff. I don't remember which chapter clearly T T I also don't clearly remember the plot of that movie T T blame my s*upid brain, but I'm pretty sure he said the protagonist who killed himself to save the other protagonist in that movie was s*upid and that he would never do this because he believed there was no point in doing so and that there was no meaning in killing oneself to save the other if the two of them could not survive together. I pretty much related to that when he said that. And when He Wei 2 killed himself to save He Wei 1 and Ze sheng, I was reminded of this movie He Wei once went to see. After I have read this chapter, there was this realization that people often say it's a s*upid thing to do but when it comes to themself, they end up choosing this s*upid way to save your loved one even if it meant killing yourself :)) Ah I was once again reminded that love is such a magical thing.

[collapse]

Also, the small details that you will probably find unimportant in the first chapters become really important clues in the later chapters. So be sure to stay alert and not miss any clues. The author is so good at writing that all my doubts and confusions became clear in the later chapters. It was an exciting and enjoyable read. It was fun deciphering the clues and unraveling the mystery together with He Wei. So, I hope you guys will have fun reading too. ^^ Also, this is just my opinion and it may not be everyone's cup of tea. But, I recommend you to try once and maybe drop it if you don't like it ^^ <<less

I just knew abt this via twitter and when I read its synopsis, I was intrigued how the story goes. Fortunately, I persisted, although it's sometimes confusing, I was able to grasp the main point of the story so I guess it was fine.

I actually love this, I love the main He Wei and Chen Zesheng. At the end of the story, I was actually shipping He Wei and Zesheng's brother haha.

Many thanks to the translator for completing the main story. Patiently waiting for the extras, I want more of... more>> the CP.

Also, I personally think it's better to be adapted into a movie/series. Given how complex the time paradox is, it would be effective if it will be shown in a film especially the loops He Wei encountered. <<less

Ahhhh I just finished it and couldn't wait to write a review. To organize this better, I will split it into what I liked and disliked.

Liked:

Let's start with the premise, the moment the first chapter was uploaded the premise easily caught my attention, I immediately thought: "Yeah, I'm gonna wait until this gets fully translated to read it." And am I glad I did. The two of them investigating each other's mu*ders, the parallel worlds, the investigations, it was all so much fun.

Next, the characters. I loved them so much!!!... more>> The side characters are important to the story, not just thrown to the side either, they actually have personalities and backgrounds to them. In the beginning, a lot was happening and I was worried that I wouldn't keep track of them and, quite frankly, none of them stood out to me. Not even the main characters. Luckily, that wasn't the case at all! The MC, He Wei was perfectly flawed and genuinely interesting. The ML, Cheng Zesheng always had me laughing and smiling away.

Spoiler

When this man insisted he was still straight after literally having a wet dream about He Wei that very night before.

[collapse]

And their chemistry... when I tell you it was off the charts, from their first meeting to their last scene, they fit so well together. I also really enjoyed He Wei and Cheng Zhenqing's friendship, their banter was a lot of fun and I couldn't help wishing we had more of them together. Other side characters I also loved, including Lian Jingyuan
Spoiler

I can't help but wish he had some sort of solace, I felt quite bad for him at the ending

[collapse]

And then the story: A lot of the plot progressed in a way I expected which is a first for me as I'm usually not the brightest when it comes to these types of novels. But! There were so many plot twists that had my jaw dropping to the ground!

Spoiler

He Lu having a twisted obsession with Office Worked He Wei was genuinely so shocking! Also, Lian Jingyuan in love with He Wei was something I was worried was going to happen, thought: "no way, it's not happening" and then it did happen!

[collapse]

And finally, some things I disliked:

In the beginning, I found the writing a little lacking, not sure if it's the translation or the author's writing, it just failed to drag me into the story.

Speaking of the writing, there are quite a few typos but it honestly doesn't affect the story much so you can read it with clear understanding, but if you're picky about that thing just be warned.

And lastly, there's an inters*x character and some transphobic comments are made towards them which honestly annoyed me a little. Sometimes there's also emphasis on the physical differences between men and women which I'm used to in CN novels but it still made me roll my eyes every time. There's also the "only gay for you" sentiment that rolls around here and there but at the end of the novel they both fully come out so it's not that bad.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story a lot, I think it's going to stick with me for a while. <<less

This is a wonderful story, the first few chapters are very confusing, but once they start communicating it gets easier

So many twists and turns and going forward and backward, this novel was a fun rollercoaster ride

Highly recommended

I loved this story.

Clear 10/10!

The best part about the story is that the MC is pretty OP himself. There's no need for the ML to come save him. In fact, in certain aspects, the MC is better than ML, which is a bit rare in novels these days. I really appreciate that.

... more>> While I thought of one or two plot holes, mostly, everything that needs to be addressed in this considerably complicated story, has been addressed.

This story reminded me of "Mist" which is also one of my favorite BL novels of all time. If you like this one, I think you'll like Mist too (in case you haven't read it yet).

I actually did not read the summary before reading the novel (Still haven't read it). So in my POV, the beginning was a common mystery novel. Honestly, I was a bit bored while reading the first few chapters. Then, the actual plot came into play and I was here for it. I'm glad I did not read the summary, because the supernatural aspect qas a pleasant surprise to me.

All in all, loved it! Must read!!! <<less

I gave only 4 stars just so for the romance aspect, it seemed a little off sometimes. But for plot, my god! What a journey it was. How could people come up with such twists and turns, it is beyond me.

New readers with no worries dive right in. Mist and replacing evil way burned my non-existent brain cells for sure. Hahahaha

It didn't catch my eye in the first few chapters, but later on it got really interesting and I ended up finishing the whole novel in a day, lol.

For some reason I'm not satisfied with the ML? I lowkey ship MC more with MLs brother.

Lian Jingyuan deserved MC the most imo 😭😭 He did so much for MC and it's clear MC values their friendship too.

... more>> But the ML is still fine, I guess. He's not a bad ML, but I find him less appealing compared to LJY and CZQ.

Overall, this novel is recommended for sure!

This novel reminds me of Mist because of the complicated time travel and time loops. (Go read Mist if you haven't I HIGHLY recommended it!! It's amazing!)

One thing I don't understand (major spoiler)

Spoiler

was He Wei3 the one who died in CZS1's world? It wasn't clearly addressed, but considering the fact that CZQ stopped He Wei2 from strangling He Wei3, it implies that they changed the "future" so in the next time loop (if it happened) He Wei3 wouldn't be dead which means that CZS1 wouldn't be involved in solving his mu*der (cause it never happened). So does that mean originally, the body of He Wei found in the mansion (in CZS1's world) was He Wei3?

[collapse]

I rate this novel 4.65/5 <<less

Was scared to read this at 1st cus my brain can’t brain complex math, parallels science and deduction. Lol, but surprisingly it’s an easy read. It relative short. Most scenarios quite familiar if you watch most sci fi or similar theme movies. So its kinda easy to understand. Both ML and MC characters were very good. They were great superiors, sharp mind, cleaver. Love the side characters, just only poor LJY. Just hope he have his own HE too.
The story combination of mystery and supernatural sci fi was a good plot setting. Not bore reading it. The only thing is the romance is scares, but the love is enduring. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you

The story is a good read and the characters are interesting. However, I cannot say the plot was very original, but it kept you reading. I liked the relationship between the two main characters but I feel like it should have been flushed out more. There were a lot of bits where it felt like it should have been explained more, or dug into a little bit deeper. It was a good short read, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything special.
