ZhouXiang wondered if the heavens offered compassion through resurrection or merely prolonged his anguish—caught perpetually as a substitute across both his past and present lives. Both professionally and romantically, YanMingXiu cast him in this devastating role. Between them existed an identical tragedy: one bound to replace another, the other forever seeking an alternative. As WangYudong's martial arts body-double in his former existence, ZhouXiang had already known substitution. But his relationship with YanMingXiu deepened this curse—a substitute within a substitute's life. Seeking freedom, ZhouXiang joined a documentary crew exploring remote, treacherous mountains. A fatal misstep sent him over a cliff's edge. Upon awakening, two years had vanished—and he found himself trapped in a stranger's body. Yet cruel destiny persisted. Even reborn anew, he remained ensnared as a substitute, unable to escape the chains of his inescapable fate.
