So let's start.

A pink car was speeding down the elevated highway. Jiang Xiaoyuan, a rich heiress, was in the car. Suddenly, the car lost control and crashed. It flew off the bridge, and Jiang Xiaoyuan was in great danger.

In 2012, Qi Lian was in a hospital, begging a doctor to save his friend Xu Jingyang. The doctor said surgery was risky and suggested rehabilitation training instead. Qi Lian felt hopeless. On the hospital rooftop, Qi Lian made a phone call. Xu Jingyang, who had been in a wheelchair, disappeared. This happened three days before the lighthouse system was set to activate.

2025: The Bar Incident

Jiang Xiaoyuan went to a bar to introduce her new boyfriend, Huo Baiyu, to her friends. Huo, a Stanford graduate, felt out of place. Her friends teased him, urging him to drink. Jiang Xiaoyuan stepped in, annoyed. She noticed that one of her friends was trying to make Huo look bad. Though she didn't fully trust Huo, she knew he wouldn't betray her because she helped his business.

2025: Friendship and Betrayal

Jiang Xiaoyuan had helped her friend Feng Ruixue open a café. That day, they both wore the same ribbon, but Jiang Xiaoyuan saw that Feng Ruixue's was fake. She advised her against buying counterfeit goods and gave her a new scarf. Later, Jiang Xiaoyuan discovered that Feng Ruixue was secretly involved with Huo Baiyu. Feng Ruixue begged Jiang Xiaoyuan not to pull her investment, saying it would ruin her. Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't forgive the betrayal.

2025: Disappearance and Guilt

Feng Ruixue disappeared that night. Feeling guilty, Jiang Xiaoyuan asked her special assistant for help. He asked her strange questions and gave her a phone, saying it could be useful. Fifteen minutes before the lighthouse system's activation, the assistant called Jiang Xiaoyuan. He said Feng Ruixue had been found and asked her to rush to Pier 13. While hurrying, Jiang Xiaoyuan got into a car accident, and her car fell into the river.

Lighthouse system:

system

Jiang Xiaoyuan logged into the lighthouse system.

system

Welcome, Jiang Xiaoyuan. You are now part of the lighthouse system. Your journey has just begun.

Qi Lian receives the signal.

Qi lian

Xu Jingyang? Is that you?

Jiang Xiaoyuan logged into the lighthouse system, starting a strange journey. At the same time, Qi Lian received a signal, wondering if it was his friend Xu Jingyang.

Why is she acting like she doesn't recognize me?

Jiang Xiaoyuan wakes up by the river.

jiang XiaoYuan

Where am I? This ID card isn't mine, but it has my name. What is happening?

Jiang Xiaoyuan collapses and wakes up on a truck with Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie

Hey, are you okay? I'm Zhang Jie. I'm delivering goods to Luoshan City. I'll take you along for the ride.

jiang XiaoYuan

Thank you. I need to get to Chongqing.

At a service station Jiang Xiao yuan uses the phone but realizes it's 2018, not 2025.

jiang XiaoYuan

This can't be right. It's supposed to be 2025. What's happening?

Jiang Xiao yuan visited CVS and used their phone to try calling her father, but he didn't answer the call.

Qi lian was also present near the cvs, refueling his motorcycle.

Xiao yuan was inspecting the expiration dates on products at CVS to confirm if they were for the year 2025, but she discovered that they were actually from 2018.

Jiang Xiaoyuan returns to Zhang Jie's truck. Qi Lian gets a call from the convenience store.

Qi lian

Strange. Why is the call from the convenience store? Anyway, I need to find Xu Jing yang.

Zhang Jie

Don't worry. Let's get you to a doctor. You need rest.

jiang XiaoYuan

I need to call my father again. Can I use your phone?

Jiang Xiaoyuan tries calling her father again but gets no answer.

jiang XiaoYuan

Why won't he pick up?

Jiang Xiaoyuan goes with Zhang Jie to her home.

jiang XiaoYuan

This place is so different. How do I get back to Chongqing?

Zhang Jie

It's a long way, but we'll figure something out. Rest for now.

Qi Lian finds blood at the spot where Jiang Xiaoyuan woke up.

Qi lian

Xu Jingyang, are you here? What happened?

Jiang Xiaoyuan feels out of place in Zhang Jie's old residential building.

jiang XiaoYuan

I need to go home. But I only have 520 yuan. I can't even afford a plane ticket.

Qi Lian continues his search, but no one knows about Xu Jingyang.

Qi lian

Why does no one have any information on Xu Jingyang? Did he even exist?

A flowerpot falls, knocking Zhang Jie unconscious. Jiang Xiaoyuan and Zhang Tian struggle with the medical expenses.

Zhang Tian

Please help my mother. We don't have enough money.

jiang XiaoYuan

I only have 520 yuan. We need 58 more.

Qi lian

Here, I'll cover the rest.

Qi lian

Xiao Yuan turned around and noticed him

jiang XiaoYuan

Thank you

Xiao Yuan was walking when some children in a rush accidentally bumped into her, causing her food to fall onto the road.

Jiang Xiaoyuan, hungry and penniless, meets Qi Lian on the streets.

jiang XiaoYuan

Are you here to collect a debt? Ask that mother and daughter. I have nothing.

Qi lian

Why are you pretending not to know me? What's going on?

Jiang Xiaoyuan faints and wakes up in a hospital with Qi Lian beside her.

jiang XiaoYuan

What do you want from me? Are you flirting with me? I'm Jiang Xiaoyuan of the Jiang Group.

Qi lian

Your father, Jiang Tianfeng, died in 2009. Look, here's the news.

Xiao yuan's face contorted with rage as she vehemently denied the truth.

jiang XiaoYuan

"No! I am the daughter of a billionaire, stay away from me! You don't know the power my father holds. Just you wait, I'll call him and he'll make sure you regret ever crossing me!"

jiang XiaoYuan

That can't be true. The Jiang Group is in Chongqing. I need to call him.

Jiang Xiaoyuan calls her father, but it goes to Qi Lian's phone. She walks through the hospital corridor, feeling lost.

jiang XiaoYuan

Why am I here? Did I enter a parallel world?

jiang XiaoYuan

I need to get back to my world. Maybe if I jump into the river...

Jiang Xiaoyuan is rescued and taken to the police station Qi Lian comes to bail her out.

police

Are you two romantically involved? It looks like you have a complicated relationship.

jiang XiaoYuan

No, it's not like that. I just need to go home.

Qi took her away from the police station.

Qi lian

We need to figure this out. Let's work together

Desperate Measures

In author way: In the hospital corridor, Jiang Xiao Yuan saw her wealthy doppelganger and was told to return to her own reality, as it was not her world.
