Twisted Roots, Tangled Branches

An ordinary blind date plunges Li Han into a trap of fate. River mist, eerie dreams, and a mysterious man drag her into a parallel dimension vortex. She meets the gentle gentleman He An, thinking it's a match made in heaven, but after fainting, she is pushed into a sealed operating room—He An intends to seize the parallel universe administrator authority within her, tearing open a deadly conspiracy. At the critical moment, buried memories awaken: Li Han is only a surface identity; her true soul is the high-level judge 002 of the Time-Space Headquarters, demoted to the grassroots for breaking rules. Restored to power, 002 pursues He An relentlessly, only to witness the most tragic scene in Universe B: He An kills his own biological mother, who, wearing a blue cheongsam, is the very Li Han whose identity she usurped and whom she wronged. Struck by lightning, 002 realizes she is the one who pushed Li Han into the abyss, causing the matricide tragedy. Overwhelmed by guilt, 002 tries to save Li Han, but Li Han has long seen through fate and willingly dies. As spacetime collapses and the universe is destroyed, 002 discovers she is merely a copy of Li Han's consciousness, all resistance trapped in a closed loop of fate. She defies destiny by becoming a man, only to meet Li Han again and give birth to He An, who is destined to kill his mother, starting the cycle anew...
