[CHARACTER DEPTH LEVEL +10] Three years have passed since Shen Qingqiu betrayed Luo Binghe and
now there are only two years left before his deceased” disciple rises from the dead to claim
his bloody glory as the protagonist. At least that’s how the story is supposed to go. In the
midst of investigating a mysterious plague Shen Qingqiu discovers that his actions have
irreparably altered the plot—Luo Binghe has returned all too soon and Shen Qingqiu’s brilliant
escape plan isn’t even ready yet! Worse Shen Qingqiu can no longer predict his young
disciple’s actions. The only thing that hasn’t changed is Luo Binghe’s intense fixation on Shen
Qingqiu himself but even this obsession may be more than it seems. Not that Shen Qingqiu has
the time to puzzle through all the inconsistencies. There are various parties at play in the
changing plot and if he doesn’t act fast he may face a fate far worse than death.
