Lin Xiaoxia devoted herself entirely to temporal research, immersing herself in Xu Yuan's notes with an almost feverish intensity. She pored over his theories, tracing the contours of his visionary mind, while Xiao Ya provided unwavering technical and financial support. Their small studio gradually gained recognition in the field of chrono-technology.
During her research, Lin Xiaoxia made a startling discovery—Xu Yuan’s work had progressed beyond mere theory. His private logs hinted at early-stage experiments, concepts labeled "memory resonance" and "temporal anchors."
Xu Yuan had theorized that while time flowed in one direction, memories could create ripples across its expanse. If a stable "temporal anchor" could be identified, it might be possible to establish a connection—even exchange information—between different points in time.
The revelation kindled a fragile hope in Lin Xiaoxia’s heart. If his hypothesis held, then perhaps there truly was a way to reach him, even across the divide of time.
Driven by this possibility, she began constructing an experimental platform based on his designs. Using the studio’s limited equipment and Xu Yuan’s meticulous records, she painstakingly assembled the framework for memory resonance.
Progress was agonizingly slow. Countless failures piled up, each setback a fresh weight on her resolve. Yet whenever exhaustion threatened to overwhelm her, she remembered—the warmth in Xu Yuan’s gaze, the quiet promise in his final words. That love became her sustenance, her reason to press forward.
Then, after months of relentless effort—a flicker of success.
At a precise frequency, within a stabilized energy field, her instruments detected something: faint, fragmented signals, whispers from the past. Indistinct, but undeniably present. Her hands trembled as she adjusted the parameters.
She was close. Closer than ever to bridging the gap between then and now.
Yet even as she pursued this fragile thread, Lin Xiaoxia and Xiao Ya kept watch on Chronos Corp. Since the incident at the island, the organization had retreated into shadow—but its silence was deceptive. Something was stirring in the depths. A new design. A greater threat.
Lin Xiaoxia understood her dual role now: to fulfill Xu Yuan’s legacy by unraveling time’s mysteries, and to stand guard against those who would exploit them.
And through it all, one truth remained—
Their love would endure. Beyond seconds, beyond centuries. A constant in the chaos of time.
