Rosely Dulcis Fides views the world as small. A raging disease struck the earth so society decided to move into confinement. Separated from her parents, Rosely spends her days living in a care home in which she is the eldest, she has no contact with the outside world or her family, minimal supplies are beamed to different stations. Different classes and social structures have been born as well as an monthly INCILE test that determines your body's wellbeing, monitoring your nutrition, fitness and mental states. This had become the norm for Rosely, just like everyone else did she dealt with the side effects of the disease and put her trust into the Rulers to sort it. On a average morning, a young boy called Ky is transported into her Care home. He's a curious yet mysterious boy who Rosely takes interest too. Throughout the month her days begin to get weirder as she becomes closer to this boy. Secrets about the care home and her world startle Rosely as her perspective on everything changes. She begins to understand,to change and mature as a person. The secrets Ky tells her shatter her world but somehow let her through to a better one, with him. This is a story of repetitive failures, young love and pure curiosity of what is real and what is not. Can you love a boy who is barely real? Can you question a world that others trust? Rosely Fides observed the world in small parts, it wasn't until she met Ky that she realised how big it was.

Lin Ziqi, a woman in her forties, is a dedicated wife and mother, having always adhered to the expectations laid out by her parents and husband. She married the man they chose for her, built a life around him and their children, and worked tirelessly to uphold the values of loyalty and obedience. However, her sacrifices go unappreciated. Her husband has a mistress, and in a brutal turn of events, it is her own son who, manipulated by this mistress, murders her. In her final moments, as she takes her last breath, Lin Ziqi's only regret is the life she could have had if she had chosen the boy from her past-the one who had waited for her, hour after hour, after high school, with a single withered rose in his hand. She wonders what her life might have been like if she had chosen to be loved, rather than loyal. When she dies, the world changes. Lin Ziqi wakes up. She is no longer a forty-year-old woman bound by regret. Instead, she is back in high school, the very place where her journey had once begun. Her best friend calls her attention to the present as the teacher asks her to answer a trigonometry question. Lin Ziqi's heart races. She is *reborn*. The realization hits her like a wave-the chance to rewrite her story, to make different choices. As she walks out of the school building, her gaze lands on him-the quiet boy who waited for her, holding that same withered rose in his hand. Lin Ziqi smiles softly to herself and approaches him. This time, she accepts the rose without hesitation, placing a kiss on his right cheek. The boy, taken by surprise, blushes but smiles in return. The world feels different now, a world where the past cannot hold her back.
