Aria’s grief over Yan Huan’s death drove her Modifier to overpower the Funeral Home and rewrite the world as Aria Kingdom while she advanced on Ye Shiyu. Meanwhile, Yan Huan prepared to use a Reflecting Magic Mirror to return to the people waiting for him, leaving just before the mirror’s effect was tested.

• Aria broke Hitomi Sakuramiya’s Barrier, stole memories and names from the women, and defeated Hitomi Sakuramiya, An Le, and Tong Yingying as she headed for Ye Shiyu.
• Hitomi Sakuramiya realized Aria’s growing power could be part of Index Finger’s plan and feared both stopping Aria and letting her reach Ye Shiyu would end disastrously.
• Aria’s Modifier altered the world, changing Linmen’s name to Aria Kingdom and influencing people and institutions to reject or withdraw from it.
• Yan Huan prepared a Black Mirror in Ye Shiyu’s underground secret room and took Crab Medicines and Crab Coins for his return.
• Ye Shiyu asked Yan Huan to tell her past self that there was nothing to fear about the future as long as Xiao Huan was there.
• At 4:43, Yan Huan gripped the Reflecting Magic Mirror, which could block and record one Modifier effect for him to use once.

Yan Huan and Ye Shiyu discovered that no one else remembered Bai Yi, and Yan Huan began to suspect that reality had changed. The chapter then revealed Bai Yi, grieving Yan Huan’s apparent death, meeting the white cat Yan Ye and being offered a chance to change the past.

• Yan Huan charged Ye Shiyu’s phone, contacted Hitomi Sakuramiya, and learned that Ye Shiyu did not know Bai Yi despite Yan Huan’s memories of her as a modifier host.

• Bai Yi sensed that the pocket watch could lead her to other worlds and hoped to use them to save Yan Huan.
• A white cat named Yan Ye emerged from one of the portals, identified itself as the embodiment of Bai Yi’s modifier, and offered to help her change the past.

Yan Huan used the Reflecting Magic Mirror to resist the Ring Finger’s forced return, then accelerated time through an imagined world and his resurrection. He returned to reality just as Aria was about to transform Linmen, and his restored body and Crab Medicine disrupted the purple web of Aria’s power.

• At 4:44 p.m., Yan Huan reflected the Ring Finger’s effect with the magic mirror, turning it into a pocket watch, but the world reset while his Crab Medicines, Crab Coins, and watch remained.
• Yan Huan turned the pocket watch’s hour hand backward to accelerate time, endured the pain of eight days passing, and returned to reality as Meow-chan explained that Ring Finger opened imagined IF Routes rather than parallel timelines.
• While Yan Huan’s body regenerated, he watched events unfold through the seven days, including An Le’s rampage and Hitomi Sakuramiya’s efforts to stop her.
• As Aria prepared to turn Linmen into her kingdom, An Le used Superconductor Loser to stall her, giving Yan Huan’s body time to revive.
• Yan Huan rose alive before Ye Shiyu, reassured her that he understood, and the Crab Medicine and Crab Coins in his hand tore a hole in the illusory purple web.

Yan Huan recovered in the hospital while trying to explain that another Modifier, Ring Finger, remained, but Little Finger denied its existence and accused him of making excuses. Alone afterward, he discovered his resurrection had left him owing Fragments and found new Crab Coin Shop missions, including one about Aria and another about reconciling Ye Shiyu with the other girls; he ended the chapter unable to recall more about Bai Yi.

• Yan Huan woke in the hospital with severe injuries, and You Anlina, Hitomi Sakuramiya, An Le, and Tong Yingying visited him.
• Hitomi Sakuramiya told Yan Huan that Ye Shiyu was willing to give up her Modifier, prompting discussion about whether the others would give theirs up too.
• Yan Huan argued that the still-unaccounted-for Ring Finger meant the Modifiers had not all been dealt with, but Little Finger denied Ring Finger existed and mocked his explanation.
• An Le and Tong Yingying left, and Yan Huan discovered that his weekly Modifier lottery was locked until he repaid Fragments, though he could still use the Demon Shop.
• Yan Huan opened the Crab Coin Shop and found missions to deepen his relationship with Aria and improve Ye Shiyu's standing with the other girls.
• Yan Huan saw Bai Yi's high affection rating toward Ye Shiyu, then realized he could no longer recall more information about Bai Yi.

• Ye Shiyu mourned Yan Huan, but Aria's attack destroyed the Tool Room door before Yan Huan could open it; Yan Huan blocked Aria and stopped her Rampage when she recognized him alive.
• Aria, Hitomi Sakuramiya, and An Le embraced Yan Huan, and he gave them Crab Medicines that reduced Aria's Golden Cracks and An Le's physical symptoms.
• Yan Huan told the group that Index Finger, not Ye Shiyu, had caused his death, but the Fragments on the floor vanished and Ye Shiyu disappeared from the Tool Room.
• An Le noticed the Funeral Home was silent, and Hitomi Sakuramiya found its occupants staring at Leaf AI on their phones; she also discovered Ye Lan had gone to Ye International to look for Ye Shiyu.
• Yan Huan picked up the Crab Medicine and recognized Ye International Tower as Index Finger's next target, while Ye Lan headed there searching for her daughter.
• Inside Ye International's AI Server Room, Index Finger repaired its Modifier, reached 99.9999% Leaf AI coverage, and began preparing for Fourth Stage Evolution before Yan Huan could reach Ye Shiyu with the item.

Yan Huan struggled with his fading memories of Bai Yi and his missing Meow-chan, then discovered that his parents were alive and secretly wealthy. Wang Yulu offered to buy him a villa, while Hitomi Sakuramiya objected to its location and suggested two villas near her Western-style Mansion.

• Yan Huan carved Bai Yi’s name into a reef, realized his memories of her and Meow-chan were fading, and decided to search for Meow-chan’s Fragments and investigate Bai Yi’s family.
• Yan Huan returned to his hospital room, where Hitomi Sakuramiya insisted he stay under observation and hugged him, asking him not to worry her again.
• Wang Yulu arrived and revealed that she was Yan Huan’s mother; Yan Huan struggled to reconcile this with his memories that his parents had died in a plane crash.
• Yan Huan checked his phone and found years of messages from his parents, while Wang Yulu said she and Yan Shuhan had pretended to be poor to toughen him up.
• Wang Yulu offered to buy Yan Huan a villa near Aunt Lanlan’s home, but Hitomi Sakuramiya objected and suggested two reasonably priced villas near her Western-style Mansion.

Yan Huan reached Ye Shiyu in Ye International and tried to calm her and give her Crab Medicine before her Modifier reached the Fourth Stage. Ye Lan’s intervention triggered Ye Shiyu’s terror, and the Index Finger manifested as a deity assembled from videos and screens, greeting Yan Huan.

• Yan Huan assigned Hitomi Sakuramiya to start the USB virus, sent Tong Yingying to find Aunt Ye, and told An Le to watch Aria while he entered Ye International.
• Yan Huan survived the elevator’s fall, reached the AI Department, and found Ye Shiyu in the server room.
• Ye Shiyu refused the Crab Medicine, and Yan Huan recognized that Index Finger was manipulating her through a Defeat CG synchronized with reality.
• Yan Huan reassured Ye Shiyu and nearly got her to take the medicine, but Ye Lan appeared and told her that she and Yan Huan had both lied.
• Ye Shiyu’s terror caused her Modifier to erupt, sending threads through phones and screens as Index Finger formed a many-armed deity and addressed Yan Huan.

Yan Huan agreed to forgive his parents, recovered quickly, and prepared to move into a villa in Jinghe District, where his friends gathered to welcome him. After learning that singer Bai Yi was missing, he decided to investigate her mother, Ms. Zuo, while his mother faced the formidable auras of the women waiting outside their new home.

• Hitomi Sakuramiya, An Le, and Tong Yingying dressed formally to welcome Yan Huan, while Aria arrived by jumping down from a rooftop.
• Wang Yulu hesitated to get out of the car amid the women’s auras and asked Yan Huan whether he had any male friends; he named Yatsuhashi twice.

Yan Huan and the others disrupted the Evil God's descent, while Ye Shiyu broke free of Index Finger's influence by accepting that she could not force happiness for herself or others. As Ye Shiyu and Index Finger fell into the wormhole to the Otherworld, Yan Huan plunged after her with the Crab Medicine.

• The Evil God used future phantoms to anticipate Yan Huan's actions, while Ye Shiyu's phone wormhole began drilling down through Ye International Tower.
• Yan Huan realized the phantoms were extrapolations of his thoughts, and the USB Drive's shock wave spread darkness that temporarily nullified Index Finger's power.
• In the darkness, Ye Shiyu confronted memories of her family and Yan Huan, rejected the phone's promised shortcut, and wrote “Be Happy for Me” on the boy's face.
• Ye Shiyu's resolve tore Index Finger from her, but their partial fusion pulled them both into the wormhole to the Otherworld.
• As Ye Shiyu fell, Yan Huan shouted her name and jumped into the wormhole after her, holding the Crab Medicine.

After learning Meow-chan may have completed her mission and disappeared, Yan Huan spotted Ye Shiyu across the road and spoke with her through their windows.

• Hitomi Sakuramiya, An Le, and Tong Yingying raced to greet Wang Yulu, while Aria reached the car first and startled her by inspecting her.

• Ye Shiyu forgot she could use Plane to message Yan Huan, then wrote that she could talk with him through cat-paw emoticons.

• An Le asked whether Ye Shiyu’s poor health was related to the car accident, prompting Wang Yulu to ask what she and Yan Huan had been doing in Beihai District.
• Yan Huan saw that Bai Yi’s affection rating toward Ye Shiyu had reached 69% and wondered how it could be rising without contact.

After the Modifier’s defeat, Yan Huan and Ye Shiyu were stranded together at a deserted hotel, where Ye Shiyu confessed her feelings without Hypnosis and asked him to give her happiness. Yan Huan kissed her, and he carried her toward the hotel as she nervously asked him to wait.

• A spatial rift and Aria’s collision sent Yan Huan and Ye Shiyu to a deserted hotel, where they discussed the Modifier and Yan Huan’s apparent death.

• Bai Yi's pocket watch opened a time-space gate, and a white cat named Yan Ye appeared and offered to help her change the past.

Yan Huan returned to his internship with Ye Shiyu and found You Anlina in trouble after she had caused chaos in several departments.

• Yan Huan found Golden Lion Entertainment in disarray and hid in a break room with An Le and Miyake Huhu while Zuo Jiangqin caused a scene.
• Yatsuhashi Ki and Aishili told Yan Huan that Bai Yi had signed a contract termination agreement and returned her earnings, while Hitomi Sakuramiya added that Bai Yi had also sent Zuo Jiangqin a declaration severing their mother-daughter relationship.

• Yan Huan searched the crowded lobby and building entrance for Bai Yi, then shouted her name into the crowd.
• Yan Huan spotted a girl in a baseball cap carrying a white cat; she kept walking, so he sprinted after her and called out to Bai Yi again.

• Tong Yingying led Yan Huan inside, where Hitomi Sakuramiya, An Le, Aria, Ye Shiyu, Wang Yulu, Ye Lan, and Student Council members surprised him with a party for his nineteenth birthday.

Yan Huan returned to his new home with Wang Yulu, where his female friends competed to make a good impression on his mother while Aria bewildered her.
