In the bustling city of Nanjing, Liang Zhi stood before his canvas, his brush dancing across the paper with the grace of a skilled artist. He was engrossed in his work when a sudden, sharp pain shot through his chest. The world seemed to spin, and he collapsed to the ground, his vision blurring.

When he awoke, he found himself in a dimly lit room, the scent of incense filling the air. A young man, his features strikingly similar to his own, knelt by his bedside. "You have returned," he whispered, his voice tinged with emotion.

Liang Zhi's heart raced. "Return to what?" he asked, his voice weak.

The young man, Jun Yi, smiled, his eyes filled with sorrow. "To us, to our love."

Liang Zhi's mind raced. He had never met Jun Yi, yet he felt an inexplicable connection to him. "How is this possible?" he demanded.
