The Ocean Eyes | ZhongChi |

For centuries, Morax, the ancient God of Contracts, had governed the passage of time with a stoic heart. Yet, amidst the chaos of war, he found something rare-a love that transcended mortality. Ajax, a mortal soldier, had captured his heart with fierce loyalty and unyielding courage. Their love was irrational, defiant, and doomed by fate. When Ajax's life was violently claimed on the battlefield, Morax vowed to find him again, no matter the passage of time or the weight of death. Their bond became a contract, one sealed by the god's eternal soul.

A thousand years have passed since that fateful vow. In the modern world, Morax walks the earth as Zhongli, a man who tries to blend in with human life, seeking the soul of the lover he lost. The weight of his immortality presses down on him as he lives among mortals, haunted by the memories of a past that refuses to fade.

On a rainy evening in the heart of the city, Zhongli stands beneath a black umbrella on the side of the highway, watching the downpour. Across the street, through the veil of rain, he spots a familiar figure-a face he could never forget, a presence that has haunted his dreams for centuries. Ajax has returned, reincarnated in a new life.

But with this new chance comes the same old question: Can Zhongli protect the man he loves in this fragile human life? Or will the forces that once tore them apart rise again to claim their happiness? Their contract binds them, but even a god's power may not be enough to defy fate twice.

Their story of love and loss begins again, but will it end differently this time?
