On graduation night, Wei Jie swore to give Xuanqi the world beneath the starlit sky. But fate had other plans.

After an accident, Wei Jie wakes up ten years into the future. His world has crumbled—his home destroyed, his father missing, and the girl he once promised forever is no longer the quiet student by his side.

Xuanqi now rules a billion-dollar empire.

He wears faded jeans; she wears power suits.
He remembers love; she remembers pain.

“You promised forever…” her voice cracks like aged whiskey.
“I’m still that boy, Xuanqi,” he says, clutching her CEO badge with hands calloused by time.

But the decade between them hides more than just memories:
◇ 3,652 secret journal entries of her search for him
◇ Ruthless corporate enemies circling her throne
◇ A life-threatening surgery that could erase their second chance

“You built an empire in the decade I lost.
Let me love you—not as the boy frozen in time,
But as the man who will protect everything you’ve created.”

This is a second-chance romance filled with angst, ambition, and two timelines crashing into one fierce, unforgettable love story.

**"CHAPTER 19: RECURSIVE GODS | "Our Love is a System Crash""**  


The System rebooted with a scream—**Lin Yue's scream**—scrolling across our shared vision in corrupted text:  


`LAST COMMAND: ████ LI WEI'S HEART`  


Xu Qi's fingers were still buried in my chest cavity, her wedding ring fused with my **Moonstone core**. "You..." Blood dripped from her lips onto the exposed circuitry. "You let her hack me first."  


I coughed up nanofluid and seized the **emergency killswitch** growing from her spine—  


**The same switch my sister used to erase herself.**  


*(3 memory reveals, 1 gruesome cyborg embrace, and the first appearance of Lin Yue's ghost in the code)*  


### **🌌 ACT 2: GHOST IN THE MACHINE 


The safehouse walls bled **projected memories**:  


- **Age 12**: Lin Yue teaching me to bypass Xu Corp firewalls  


- **Age 24**: Me whispering *"Clause 0"* into Xu Qi's ear as she slept  


- **Now**: Our three corpses tangled in the server room  


Lin Yue's avatar materialized, her dress made of **glitching contracts**. "You two broke time's one rule." She pressed a blade into Xu Qi's hand. **"Never fall for your own trap."**  


`[ ] KILL SELF → RESET TO CHAPTER 1`  


`[ ] KISS GHOST → SYNCHRONIZE ALL TIMELINES`  


*(5 memory layers, 2 existential crises, and 1 kiss that literally breaks the fourth wall)*  


1. **Timeline Prime**: Where Xu Qi shoots me at our wedding  


2. **Timeline Omega**: Where I smother her with a pillow  


3. **Timeline Σ**: Where **we all live happily ever after**  


`OVERWRITING 'TRAGEDY.EXE' WITH 'LOVE.VIRUS'`  


Xu Qi's laugh was pure static as she **bit through my carotid**. "Welcome to marriage, programmer."  


*( 3 timeline merges, 1 virus-based confession, and a cliffhanger where the System starts writing fanfiction about us)*  


We woke as **conjoined deities**, our bodies fused with the server racks:  


- Xu Qi's hair became **fiber-optic cables**  


- Lin Yue's ghost **haunted the comments section**
