another information: committing crimes in order to change the past, that's why Qian Jin targets Cheng Xiaoshi. His wife died, killed by himself, because of a misunderstanding that he thought his wife was having an affair. But, after knowing the truth, that's when he really wanted to change the past by inxaring Cheng Xiaoshi.

Childhood: Cheng Xiaoshi's parents left him while he was a kid which caused immense emotional distress to Cheng Xiaoshi. Due to this, he runs to one of his only friends, Qiao Ling, to which her parents became concerned over his family situation. Tearfully, Xiaoshi exclaims that he does not want their sympathy. He asks Qiao Ling if she also believes his parents weren't going to come back, to which Qiao Ling says she doesn't. This was when Cheng Xiaoshi started living at the Hero Photo Studio (now known as the Time Photo Studio). Despite all the help, Cheng Xiaoshi still had a hard time with his life, as both parents and children would talk about his family, which caused Cheng Xiaoshi to lash out at them.
-Later, during the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, Cheng Xiaoshi cries over the idea that his parents were in the earthquake and that they were quite possibly dead. He asks Qiao Ling if she believes that his parents are dead, to which she responds that she doesn't, and hugs him as he cries about missing them.
Cheng Xiaoshi continued to grow up alongside Qiao Ling. Qiao Ling describes this time of his life as very lonely, and would often concern herself with his wellbeing.
-It was only during high school that he made another friend, Lu Guang, meeting him on the basketball field. Lu Guang one day passes by the photo studio by chance, agreeing to help with refurbishing work and getting to know Qiao Ling as well. Later, Cheng Xiaoshi attends a university name Hui Jie Movie Academy along with Lu Guang, Qiao Ling, Dong Yi, and Xu Shanshan. At some point, Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang would rebrand the photo studio and start their side business of revisiting people's past through photos.

Not much is known about Lu Guang's Childhood or family. His father noticed his ability to see through photos when he was 7 years old.

Lu Guang first met Cheng Xiaoshi on the basketball court in high school, where he was invited to a basketball game. Later, he passes by the Time Photo Studio by chance, coming across Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling refurbishing the studio. Invited by Qiao Ling, Lu Guang agrees to help them with the work.

After finishing the work, Qiao Ling asks Lu Guang how they became friends. Initially bashful, Lu Guang explains it started when Cheng Xiaoshi invited him to play basketball. However, Qiao Ling presses further, insisting that for them to have become friends, there must be a quality that Lu Guang was attracted to. Though slightly reluctant, Lu Guang answers with a serious tone that it was probably Cheng Xiaoshi's "innocence."

Lu Guang would go on to attend a university name Hui Jie Movie Academy along with Cheng Xiaoshi, Qiao Ling, Dong Yi, and Xu Shanshan.

Lu Guang now lives in the photo studio and is implied to share a bedroom with Cheng Xiaoshi. They both work at the studio developing photos as a front business with their photo based time traveling services as their true behind the scenes business.

Li Tianchen and his sister's childhoods were marred by frequent domestic disputes driven by their father's unfounded accusations of their mother's infidelity, often escalating into violent abuse. Their next-door neighbour was partly responsible, as he had often spread gossip about their parents, aggravating the situation and earning him Li Tianchen's despisal. During his childhood, he also met Liu Xiao, who he became friends with and was inspired by to be brave and stand up for himself.

During one such violent domestic dispute at some point in his childhood, Li Tianchen could not bear watching his mother endure continued beatings while feeling powerless to resist. Taking matters into his own hands, he used his special ability in conjunction with his sisters' to take remote control of his mother and fight back against his father. With the strike of a hammer, he landed a fatal blow on his father. Just as he thought that they were finally free of their father's abuse, he realized that his mother had simultaneously suffered a knife wound. As a result, both of his parents died in this incident, leaving Li Tianchen and his sister alone. Qian Jin, a police officer at the time, was assigned to their case, marking the beginning of their relationship.

As a Child, Li Tianxi originally had the ability to speak but became mute following a traumatic experience. Consequently, she frequently went to doctor's with her mother in the hopes that they could cure her muteness.

At some point in her childhood, both her parents died on the same day following a violent domestic dispute, leaving her and her brother alone.

-Vein is Xia Fei's manager and boss at a modeling agency in Bridon. Vein saved Xia Fei from being drowned to death in a swimming pool by other models. Xia Fei views Vein with a lot of admiration and respect, stating that he's like a big brother to him, and cheering up when Vein came to his rescue. The two appear to be close, with Xia Fei putting a lot of trust in his boss and Vein keeping a close eye on ensuring Xia Fei's diet and actions are in accordance to his principles, on one occasion reprimanding Xia Fei for having bad manners. Vein, for his part, appears to be amused by Xia Fei and has talked about him to Liu Xiao.

-Liu Xiao hired Xia Fei to spy on Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang while they are in Bridon. Xia Fei does not seem to like Liu Xiao, as he shows disgust at the idea of being friends, and making his contact name in his phone is "Pain-in-the-Neck Client".

-When Xia Fei was a young child, he knew Cheng Weimin while he was a teacher at Bahati. The extent to their interactions is unknown, but Cheng Weimin may have been a mentor figure to the young Xia Fei.

-Initially, Xia Fei was hired to spy on Cheng Xiaoshi. However, upon meeting him and Lu Guang in Bahati, the Xia Fei and Cheng Xiaoshi got along and bonded over beers, with Xia Fei lamenting over his academic and financial situation and Cheng Xiaoshi attempting to cheer him up. Xia Fei later helped Cheng Xiaoshi find more information about Bahati, resulting in them and Lu Guang doing a modeling job where he began to see them as his friends. This led to Xia Fei feeling conflicted over the fact that he was still being paid to spy on them. Later, once Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang were leaving Bridon, Xia Fei went with them to the airport and saw them off, wishing them the best.

-Xia Fei
Vein is Xia Fei's manager and boss at a modeling agency in Bridon. Vein saved Xia Fei from being drowned to death in a swimming pool by other models. The two appear to be close, with Xia Fei putting a lot of trust in his boss and relying on his guidance. As his manager, Vein manages Xia Fei's behavior and well being, monitoring his diet and correcting his manners in accordance with his standards. Vein has come to Xia Fei's aid more than once, arriving swiftly when he was in trouble. Vein, for his part, appears to be amused by Xia Fei and has talked about him to Liu Xiao.

According to an interview with series director Li Haoling, Vein initially hired Xia Fei because he found him entertaining.

-Liu Xiao
Liu Xiao and Vein appear to be working together in tracking down Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi.

-Lu Guang
Though the specifics of how Vein views Lu Guang remains unclear, it's evident that Lu Guang harbors deep disdain for Vein for Cheng Xiaoshi's death. Enough so that when the two meet after Lu Guang dives back in time, Vein notices the "murderous intent" in Lu Guang's eyes. Lu Guang is highly cautious of Vein, and their interactions when Cheng Xiaoshi is absent are noteably cold. Vein makes it clear that Lu Guang cannot stop him.

In another instance, when Vein presents him Wang Qing's hypothetical he is pleased by Lu Guang's answer, indicating a rare moment of mutual understanding.

-Cheng Xiaoshi
In the previous timeline, Vein kills Cheng Xiaoshi as a punishment for altering time.

After Lu Guang dives back in time, when they first meet in Bridon Vein acts friendly to Cheng Xiaoshi, calling him "tasty". As a result, Cheng Xiaoshi is friendly with Vein and trusts him since Xia Fei trusts him. Vein later helps Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang find information regarding Bahati in exchange for them being his models. At this point, Vein seemingly isn't fully aware of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang's abilities. Therefore, when recovering Cheng Weimin's notebook, he doesn't see Cheng Xiaoshi has a threat but rather an obstacle and tranquilizes him rather than killing him.

Wang Qing was a student at the Bahati language school in Bridon. While there, she was taught by Cheng Weimin and was continually bullied by Amy and other students for being at the top of her classes. After the Bahati language school burned down, she was declared the only survivor and disappeared soon after.

At some point before the start of the Bridon arc, she met Shao Yuanyuan and promised to give her an opportunity to speak to Cheng Xiaoshi if they ever met.

Wang Qing reappears years later as the psychotherapist known as Chris. She meets Cheng Xiaoshi under the context of a therapy appointment, where she correctly guesses that he has conflicting feelings about his dad, and ends it early once she realizes Cheng Xiaoshi is here to ask about the Bahati fire. She takes a picture of him, and gives Shao Yuanyuan the opportunity to meet him.

Vein breaks in towards the end of their meeting, and steals a notebook hidden behind a picture in Wang Qing's office. Wang Qing sees the notebook in Vein's hands after Shao Yuanyuan claps out, and chose to use her power to kill Vein instead of letting him leave with it. She took the notebook and disappeared again.

Following his involvement in Li Tianchen's case, Qian Jin left his position as a police officer, taking with him the police's records on the siblings. He later became a lawyer for Liu Jing's family. At some point, Liu Jing's son, Liu Min, approached Qian Jin with a request to "permanently silence" Internet trolls who attacked him. While Qian Jin was unable to carry out the task himself, he had brought along Li Tianchen and asked if he was willing. Incidentally, Liu Min's first target was none other than Li Tianchen's neighbor, which led him to accept the deal, partnering with Qian Jin and starting a series of homicides on behalf of Liu Min using his and his sister's combined ability to remote control people through their photos.

The serial homicides caught the attention of the police. Put in charge of the case, Xiao Li requested Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang's help on the matter after witnessing them solve the case of Li Doudou's kidnapping using their powers. While investigating the case, they inadvertently drew the attention of Li Tianchen towards Xu Shanshan, leading him to attack her in her apartment while possessing Liu Min. Through Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang's combined efforts, they managed to prevent the attack by traveling back in time and lure "Liu Min" to Time Photo Studio for a confrontation, leading to Liu Min's arrest. Despite this, they were still unaware of the true culprit, and had unknowingly given Li Tianchen the opportunity to learn the true nature of Cheng Xiaoshi's power.

In a vengeful act, Li Tianchen possessed Qiao Ling and stabbed Lu Guang while Cheng Xiaoshi is visiting the past in an attempt to save Emma. Around the same time, to avoid being implicated, he also possessed Liu Min and strangled him with his own handcuffs, leading to his death after failed rescue attempts. Upon hearing news of Liu Min's death, Liu Jing ordered Qian Jin to retrieve his son's phone. Consequently, Chen Bin, who held the phone at the time, became victim of the twins' remote control. While visitng Lu Guang at the hospital, the possessed Chen Bin was taken to the rooftops of the hospital, where Qian Jin's accomplice Xiao Ma awaited to take the phone. Li Tianchen had planned to then murder Chen Bin by having him jump off the building, but to his surprise, he lost control over Chen Bin, as his memories and emotions overwhelmed Li Tianxi, who then broke free from her brother's control and fled.

When fleeing, Li Tianxi ran into Liu Siwen's group, dropping her purse, a hairpin, and a photo taken with her mother many years ago. Li Tianchen, chasing after her, was stopped in his tracks by Ouyang's father, who handed him the items Tianxi dropped. Flipping the photo, Li Tianchen saw on the back side a drawing of himself with his sister, and the words "can't live without a good brother." Recalling their childhood, Li Tianchen ran towards Lu Guang's hospital room, arriving just in time before Lu Guang shut his door. He handed the photo to Lu Guang, in hopes that he and Cheng Xiaoshi would enter the photo and help him change the tragic events of his past. He then waited in the hospital stairwell for Xiao Ma to take Liu Min's phone from him. While Xiao Ma mistakenly assumed he had done so on Qian Jin's orders, it was later revealed that Li Tianchen was instead fulfilling his childhood friend Liu Xiao's request.

Afterwards, Li Tianchen proposed a bold plan to Qian Jin: To disguise himself as his sister and enter the police station posing as a witness, in order to lure out Cheng Xiaoshi and kidnap him using his ability to control by touch. Although his plan had initially gone smoothly, with him successfully shaking off the the police's pursuit and taking Cheng Xiaoshi to a boat, Lu Guang had also anticipated their plot: He took a photo on his phone before Cheng Xiaoshi was taken, allowing Cheng Xiaoshi to return to the past as Lu Guang and save himself. While Cheng Xiaoshi was able to enter the photo and intercept his past self, in an attempt to stop who he thought was Li Tianxi from escaping, he made physical contact with Li Tianchen, allowing Lu Guang to be controlled and taken away in his place.

Having failed to secure Cheng Xiaoshi, Li Tianchen and Qian Jin soon devised another plan: They demanded a hostage exchange to be made in the next 35 minutes, trading Lu Guang for Cheng Xiaoshi. While Cheng Xiaoshi was able to escape the exchange with creative use of his ability, this was anticipated by Qian Jin. Cheng Xiaoshi, along with Li Tianxi, who was brought along for her telepathic ability, were captured by Xiao Ma who was stationed nearby on Qian Jin's orders.

Xiao Ma brought them down to some underground tunnels to meet Qian Jin and Li Tianchen. While Li Tianchen was shocked to see his sister there, Qian Jin, who was greatly displeased by her betrayal, aimed his pistol intending to harm Li Tianxi, but was stopped by Li Tianchen and Cheng Xiaoshi. Cheng Xiaoshi then proceeded to question the group who it was that delivered the photo to Lu Guang's ward that night. Despite his attempts, Li Tianchen was unable to conceal the fact that he was the one to take Liu Min's phone any longer. Xiao Ma, initially puzzled why Qian Jin had not exposed him sooner, then deduced that Qian Jin had known all along. This prompted Qian Jin to shoot Xiao Ma in the chest, as he had known too much to be kept around. An infuriated Qian Jin demanded an explanation from Li Tianchen for his betrayal, to which Tianchen calmly responded that their relationship had always been rooted in mutual use, devoid of any trust. According to him, there couldn't be betrayal without trust in the first place. Qian Jin then argued that he had indeed placed trust in Li Tianchen, having raised the siblings as his own children. Cheng Xiaoshi interjected, countering that Qian Jin had merely treated them as tools and emotional substitutes.

Growing increasingly agitated, Qian Jin argued that he was not the one in the wrong. Reminded of his original reason for capturing Cheng Xiaoshi, he handed Cheng Xiaoshi a photo of his wife, blaming her for his misfortunes and demanding that Cheng Xiaoshi alters his past using the photo, leading Cheng Xiaoshi to deduce that Qian Jin had been one responsible for the death of his wife. Well aware of Qian Jin's past, Li Tianchen followed by stating that Zhuang Shuai, whom Qian Jin thought his wife was having an affair with, was actually innocent. He then reveals that he was sure of this because he can access the memories of those he controls, and that Zhuang Shuai was the first person that Qian Jin ordered him to kill after discovering his special ability. Qian Jin, still unable to admit that he was wrong, continues to condemn his victims, claiming that they deserved to die.

Unbeknownst to Qian Jin, the shot he previously landed on Xiao Ma was not fatal. The enraged Xiao Ma got up from the ground and tackled Qian Jin, disarming him and chasing him further down the tunnels, while also alerting Lu Guang, Qiao Ling and Xiao Li to their location with his gunshots. Meanwhile, Li Tianchen seized the opportunity to attack Cheng Xiaoshi. Li Tianxi attempted to intervene, however to no avail as Li Tianchen expressed his disappointment in the fact that Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang did not take action to change their tragic past, and declared that he was going to change their fate himself. At this moment, Lu Guang had arrived at the scene with Qiao Ling, but was quickly tased and restrained by Li Tianchen.

As Li Tianchen pressed on Lu Guang's stab wound and threatened Cheng Xiaoshi, his mute sister, who could bear the situation no longer, called out to her brother and spoke out the words "brother, I want to go home" accompanied by sign language, with tears flowing down her face. Jolted form the conflict, Li Tianchen recalled teaching the phrase to his sister while they were young, and broke into tears himself. However, she was then suddenly shot from behind by Qian Jin, who had managed to subdue Xiao Ma, and fell to the ground. While Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi engaged Qian Jin, Li Tianxi slowly muttered to her brother, "I am scared... I miss mother..." Officer Xiao then arrived on the scene, and Li Tianxi urged her brother to flee for safety. Left with no allies, Li Tianchen heeded his sister's words and fled in tears

Some time later, Li Tianchen was seen sitting at the park where he first met Liu Xiao, staring at an old photo of him and his now-late sister on his phone as he awaited his childhood friend Liu Xiao, who had just returned from abroad. Upon Liu Xiao's arrival, Li Tianchen handed him Liu Min's phone. Liu Xiao offered to let Tianchen help in his plan. Left with no choice, he agreed, leaving his phone and past life behind.

Since the start of her brother's partnership with Qian Jin, her brother had relied on Li Tianxi's special ability in tandem with his own to remotely control people, which allowed him to commit many acts of violence and homicide. While Li Tianchen was remotely controlling Chen Bin in an attempt to murder him, Li Tianxi caught a glimpse of Chen Bin's memories and emotions, causing her to break down. She then broke free from her brother's control and fled.

After a failed attempt to catch up to Li Tianxi, Li Tianchen impersonated his sister in a bid to capture Cheng Xiaoshi, however leading to the unintended capture of Lu Guang. This incident resulted in an arrest warrant for Li Tianxi, who was wrongly identified due to the disguise. The police were able to quickly find Li Tianxi in an abandoned grocery store, only to soon realize that she was not the one responsible for the incident, as their aggressive interrogations left the mute girl in severe distress. While further attempts made by the police to obtain more intel from Li Tianxi were ineffective, Qiao Ling volunteered to attempt, and was able to successfully communicate with her via drawing. Through her drawings, Li Tianxi provided Qiao Ling crucial insights into how hers and her brother's remote control ability functioned.

Soon after, the police received a message from Li Tianchen, who demanded a hostage exchange to be made in the next 35 minutes, trading Lu Guang for their original target, Cheng Xiaoshi. While Cheng Xiaoshi was able to escape the exchange using his ability, this was anticipated by Qian Jin. He, along with Li Tianxi, who was brought along for her telepathic ability, were captured by Xiao Ma who was stationed nearby on Qian Jin's orders.

Xiao Ma brought them down to some underground tunnels to meet Qian Jin and Li Tianchen. While Li Tianchen was surprised to see his sister there, Qian Jin was greatly displeased by her betrayal. During this meeting, Xiao Ma was shot by Qian Jin for "knowing too much." However, the shot was not fatal, and the enraged Xiao Ma was able to catch Qian Jin by surprise, disarming him and chasing him further down the tunnels, while also alerting Lu Guang, Qiao Ling and Xiao Li to their location. Meanwhile, Li Tianxi attempted to intervene in the fight between Li Tianchen and Cheng Xiaoshi, however to no avail as Li Tianchen expressed his disappointment in Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang's failure to take any action to change their tragic past, and declared that he was going to change their fate himself. At this moment, Lu Guang had arrived at the scene with Qiao Ling, but was quickly tased and restrained by Li Tianchen.

As Li Tianchen pressed on Lu Guang's stab wound and threatened Cheng Xiaoshi, Li Tianxi, who was unable to bear the situation, called out to her brother and spoke out the words "brother, I want to go home" accompanied by sign language, with tears flowing down her face. Jolted from the conflict, Li Tianchen recalled teaching the phrase to his sister while they were young, and broke into tears himself. However, she was then suddenly shot from behind by Qian Jin, who had managed to subdue Xiao Ma, and fell to the ground. While Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi engaged Qian Jin, Li Tianxi slowly muttered to her brother, "I am scared... I miss mom..." Officer Xiao then arrived on the scene, and Li Tianxi urged her brother to flee. Left outnumbered with no allies, Li Tianchen heeded his sister's words and fled in tears. Engaged in battle with Xiao Li, Qian Jin was eventually defeated. In her final moments, Li Tianxi muttered words of gratitude to Qiao Ling, and transferred her telepathic ability to her before passing away.

In the original timeline, Vein hunted Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi down for altering the timeline. Vein shot Cheng Xiaoshi, leading to his death and to Lu Guang diving back in time to save him.

During the Bridon Arc, Vein worked with Liu Xiao to uncover information about Cheng Weimin and the Bahati fire incident.

Vein runs a modeling agency on the side. In the past, Vein had saved Xia Fei from being drowned while on a modeling job. In the present, Vein appears after Xia Fei calls him and saves Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang, and Xia Fei from being attacked by angry sports fans. He effortlessly fends off the attackers and introduces himself to Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, telling the former that he "looks tasty". After Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi leave, Xia Fei laments that Vein must have scared them away with his bizarre remarks, implying that Vein had said the same thing to other prospective models.

Later on, Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi get hotpot with Vein. When Cheng Xiaoshi brings up Wang Qing and the Bahati fire, Vein's friendly demeanor is replaced by a cold intensity as he asks them whether they're involved with the incident. Vein quickly puts up a friendly face again and agrees to help them, but only if Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang agree to model for him.

After the modeling gig, Vein offers Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang a modeling contract, but Cheng Xiaoshi declines. Vein reveals that he has arranged for a counseling session for Cheng Xiaoshi with Wang Qing (now "Chris"), who is a psychiatrist. After Cheng Xiaoshi leaves, Vein questions Lu Guang about why he always looks at him with a murderous intent. Vein presents Lu Guang with Wang Qing's psychological hypothetical and laughs at his response, suggesting they share a similar perspective.

Vein receives a call and tells Lu Guang that his friend is in trouble. Vein leaves, claiming he's going to lend them a hand. When Lu Guang calls out his lie, Vein challenges Lu Guang to stop him. Knowing he can't stop him, Lu Guang delays Vein by musing on whether or not he could prevent a fixed node by creating another unchangeable node, to which Vein calls him insane.

Vein enters Wang Qing's office and tranquilizes Cheng Xiaoshi. Vein and Shao Yuanyuan (possessing Wang Qing) fight, with Vein getting the upper hand and retrieving Cheng Weimin's notebook. As he leaves, Lu Guang through unknown means causes Wang Qing to regain control and use her powers on Vein, causing him to have a heart attack and collapse. Afterwards, the police arrive and declare Vein dead.

An unknown amount of time later, Liu Xiao unzips Vein's body bag and Vein's eyes open.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, it holds an infinite amount of secrets. These are secrets that only Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang are able to find. In a small shop called "Time Photo Studio," the two friends provide a special service: using their extraordinary powers that let them enter photographs, they jump into pictures brought to them by clients in order to grant their wishes. Through the eyes of the photographer, they live through the events surrounding the picture and try to decipher how to solve their client's request.

But every time they jump into a picture, they take a great risk. One wrong move and they could alter the future of the person who took the picture... and possibly countless other events too. So when the events they are forced to live through in these pictures start to become personal, it will take the utmost strength to push their feelings aside and focus on accomplishing the task they were paid to do.

The attempt to capture the mysterious perpetrator who possesses people ends tragically: Lu Guang is rushed to the hospital in a critical state, while Cheng Xiaoshi is arrested for the alleged crime. In light of recent events, the father of Liu Min unleashes his skilled, ruthless lawyer—Qian Jin—after Police Chief Li Xiao, who is spearheading the investigation related to the photo studio owned by Qiao Ling.

It appears that no one is safe from the unpredictable and fatal attacks of the adversary who painstakingly hides their identity. As he tries to learn from his past mistakes, Cheng Xiaoshi must act swiftly and decisively to put an end to this devastating trail of death.

After the Li Tianchen incident came to an end, the Time Photo Studio returned to a superficial calm. However, the news of Xia Fei's disappearance once again plunged everyone into the crossroads of fate. With Vein's return and Qiao Ling's awakening powers, Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang gradually uncover the secrets of the Bahati fire case. Cheng Xiaoshi's father, Cheng Weimin, and mother, Shao Yuanyuan, also seemed to have intricate connections to it. As the investigation deepens, Liu Xiao, from a mysterious organization, begins his actions, and the intervention of Bridon police officer Jae adds uncertainty to this quest for the truth.

Confronted by the possessor, Cheng Xiaoshi deduces that Liu Min was also under their control. Cheng Xiaoshi angrily questions the possessor about their identity and intentions, but is reminded that if he attracts the police's attention, Qiao Ling, who is holding the weapon, would be held responsible for Lu Guang's stabbing.

Cheng Xiaoshi attempts to negotiate, and the possessor orders him to answer honestly how his special ability works. Cheng Xiaoshi claims that his ability is to teleport, but the possessor immediately calls him out for lying, deducing that his ability is "also" related to photos, as he can no longer teleport without a room full of them.

On their way to the hospital, Chen Bin asks if Cheng Xiaoshi knows the situation, then lets him rest. When Chen Bin's wife calls, Cheng Xiaoshi answers for him. She mentions Qian Jin is waiting, and Chen Bin tells her he might not come home due to the case. Afterward, Chen Bin shares that he and his wife took their phone wallpaper photo two years ago after getting their marriage certificate but haven't held a proper wedding. Cheng Xiaoshi briefly considers changing the past but dismisses the idea, returning Chen Bin's phone. Chen Bin then hands him clothes, urging him to change before seeing Lu Guang.

Chen Bin ensures Cheng Xiaoshi is ready before opening the door to Lu Guang's ward, where Lu Guang lies in bed with Xiao Li and Qiao Ling present. Overwhelmed, Cheng Xiaoshi is unable to hold back tears, only to be stunned by the sight of Lu Guang opening his eyes, very much alive. Lu Guang sarcastically questions his reaction before dismissing him, demanding solitude. Cheng Xiaoshi turns to Captain Xiao, who explains that the false news was spread to protect Lu Guang, while it was Liu Min whose rescue failed.

Qiao Ling admits she now understands everything, including that she had stabbed Lu Guang under external control. Reflecting on his confrontation with the possessor, Cheng Xiaoshi recalls two key details: the possessor mentioned Cheng Xiaoshi's power was "also" linked to photos and expressed a desire to take his ability. From this, Cheng Xiaoshi deduces that the possessor's powers are likely photo-related and that their abilities could potentially be taken. To mitigate risks, Cheng Xiaoshi has deleted information and photos related to the Photo Studio from the internet.

When Lu Guang is handed a phone supposedly belonging to Liu Min to look for clues, the group is shocked to see a wallpaper of Chen Bin and his wife, realizing it's actually Chen Bin's phone. Turning around, they find Chen Bin missing. Xiao Li immediately rushes out to find him, while Cheng Xiaoshi hesitates, realizing the danger of leaving Lu Guang and Qiao Ling alone.

Not long after, Cheng Xiaoshi suddenly loses contact with Xiao Li. Checking the surveillance footage, they discover that Chen Bin has met a grim fate, having fallen to his death. Lu Guang points out a suspicious man descending from the top floor, prompting Cheng Xiaoshi to rush out to intercept him. When Qiao Ling offers to join, Cheng Xiaoshi tells him to stay, earning an unexpected punch. Qiao Ling asserts that while he appreciates Cheng Xiaoshi's protection, he needs his trust more. Lu Guang informs them of two exits they can block and prepares to lock the door behind them, urging haste.

Combining their efforts, Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling intercept the suspicious man and eventually defeat him after exchanging blows. However, when they search the man for Liu Min's phone, they realize he was not carrying it. The man laughs as reinforcements arrive. However, they are interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. Turning towards the source of the sound, they see three people walking into the hallway, wearing cartoon superhero masks.

The three turn out to be martial arts masters Liu Siwen, Ouyang, and Ouyang Bubai, who were at the hospital to help Lu Guang get admitted under a fake name. They instruct the two to leave, and effortlessly defeat the thugs.

The thugs arrested and interrogated, and Qiao Ling and Cheng Xiaoshi are also taken to the police station. They confirm Lu Guang's safety over a call before Xiao Li arrives to meet them. Xiao Li informs them that Liu Min's phone has not yet been found, attributing Chen Bin's death to his own errors in judgment and inadequate planning, deciding to seek a demotion and accept any repercussions after uncovering the whole truth.

Later, Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling attend Chen Bin's funeral, with Cheng Xiaoshi bringing a flower on behalf of Lu Guang who cannot attend due to injuries. Meeting Xiao Li there, their conversation is interrupted by Liu Jing, his wife, and lawyer Qian Jin, attending Liu Min's funeral, held alongside Chen Bin's.

Liu Jing aggressively demands answers about his son's death but refuse to listen to what Xiao Li has to say. Cheng Xiaoshi declares he witnessed Liu Min's knife-wielding attack, but Liu Jing's wife mocks the idea, claiming her disabled son couldn't have committed homicide. She threatens legal action and provocatively accuses Chen Bin of taking bribes, enraging Xiao Li, who orders her to stop spreading rumors. Liu Jing persists, citing alleged cash found at Chen Bin's house and threatening to speak publicly.

The tension peaks when Cheng Xiaoshi attempts to punch Liu Jing, but is intercepted by Qian Jin. Liu Jing's wife demands Cheng Xiaoshi's arrest for assault, but he insists Liu Jing provoked him. Qian Jin refuses to release Cheng Xiaoshi without an apology, until Qiao Ling slaps Qian Jin, declaring her hit as the only real blow. Xiao Li teases Qian Jin for being struck by a girl, and the group leaves, ending the confrontation as Liu Jing decides to avoid further conflict.

Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling pay their respects to Chen Bin. They notice absence of his wife, but she soon arrives in a flowing white dress, holding dandelions. Tearfully, she accuses Chen Bin of breaking promises and laments their lost time together. She makes a heartfelt plea, asking him to fulfill one final promise in their next lives by returning what he owes her.

Later, Cheng Xiaoshi, sympathizing with Chen Bin and his wife, asks Lu Guang for permission to help them. They activate their powers, diving into the past through a photo of the day Chen Bin and his wife received their marriage certificate. As Chen Bin, Cheng Xiaoshi hands her a dandelion flower fashioned into a ring and proposes: Apologizing for inability to stay by her side, he thanks her for forgiving his frequent absences. He pledges love and protection not only for the rest of this life, but also across the span of their future lives to come, and asks if she is willing to marry him in all subsequent existences. She smiles, remarking that she can't refuse now that they have their certificate, and teases that his chances of marrying her in the next life will depend on his performance then.
