Features: Yang Xuan's girlfriend Ding Xiaoya suddenly suffers from a strange illness, aging at a speed several times faster than normal. At this time, those who claim to be her long-lost parents appear and take her to a quiet hospital for treatment. Here, a series of puzzling events occur. Two years after Ding Xiaoya's death, Yang Xuan's new girlfriend suddenly accuses him of rape, leaving Yang Xuan heartbroken and disillusioned. He moves to a secluded, remote town, living a life of detachment from the world. However, five years later, he is once again drawn into the whirlpool of the incident: surveillance by special police, advice from students, and abductions by unidentified individuals. All of this is related to his former girlfriend, yet he remains in the dark. It is only when the doctor who treated Ding Xiaoya previously reappears that the truth comes to light.
