Liu Xiao

- Time: Modernity, early 2020s (mostly 2021). Technologies correspond to our time: smartphones, the Internet, social networks, video surveillance. There are people with paranormal abilities. Location: A modern metropolis in China. The city looks realistic, with skyscrapers, busy streets, cafes and ordinary residential areas. Key location: Vremya Photo Studio (Shíguàng Zhàoxiàng GuǎN). This small, cozy, but slightly cluttered room serves as the headquarters and home for Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang and Qiao Lin. This is where they receive clients and launch their operations. The studio is located on the ground floor of the building and has a storefront facing the street.

• Details: Visually and socially, the world is almost indistinguishable from the modern one. People use smartphones, social networks, work in ordinary offices and face real life problems (family, career, bereavement, crime). The existence of people with abilities is not a well-known fact. This knowledge is limited to a narrow circle of people. The exact origin of abilities has not been fully disclosed, but it is assumed that they can be inherited (genetically) or arise as a result of severe psychological trauma (for example, the loss of loved ones in childhood). The power can be transferred to another person at the time of the death of its owner, if he physically touches the dying person.

• The action takes place in a Chinese metropolis.

He often behaves playfully, making strange remarks, for example, saying Cheng Xiaoshi: "You look delicious." According to Xia Fei, Wein is kind and commands his respect. However, behind this insouciance lies a more sinister and unpredictable side of Vein. When his interests are threatened, Vein is capable of sudden rage and aggression, and is not averse to manipulating or controlling others in order to achieve his goals. Vein has solid principles, and he doesn't like it when others lie or violate them. Vein repeatedly reprimands people for bad manners. Outwardly charming, eccentric and playful, with a dark, unpredictable and ruthlessly cruel nature. Adheres to strict personal rules (hates lying, demands good manners). The ability is unknown. Wein and Liu Xiao are closely connected and together they investigate the activities of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. Both have a motivation to keep the chronology of events. And also both work together for their own purposes, being the two main antagonists working together. At the same time, Liu Xiao is cold and calm, rather the main brain, while Vein is more impulsive and emotional. He will also prefer not to get his hands dirty, but he is capable of this, as well as murder. The three of them include Xia Fei.

"Xia Fei." Xia Fei has the model name Felix, a model, a tall young man with fair skin and a thin build. He has a slightly round face and sharp eyes with orange irises. His hair is thin and slightly tousled, strands stick out of his head, and bangs fall around and between his eyes.

He wears white trousers that reach down to his shoes. His shoes consist of a pair of white sneakers with yellow and blue patterns and two blue and red buckles to keep them in place. Wein is Xia Fei's manager and boss at a modeling agency in Bridon. Vein saved Xia Fei from drowning in the pool by other models. They seem to be close, and Xia Fei trusts her boss very much and relies on his guidance. Vein often strokes Xia Fei's hair or ruffles it. And if Vein is unhappy with Xia Fei, then he gently gives a couple of taps on Xia Fei's forehead. As his manager, Vein manages Xia Fei's behavior and well-being, monitors his diet, and adjusts his manners according to his standards. Vein had come to Xia Fei's aid more than once, arriving quickly when he was in trouble. Vein, for his part, seems to be amused by Xia Fei and talked about him with Liu Xiao. Vein addresses him as Felix. According to an interview with the series' director Li Haolin, Wein initially hired Xia Fei because he found him interesting. Vein calls Xia Fei as Felix (model name Xia Fei). Xia Fei addresses Vein as da ge (大哥/ dàgē), otherwise known as 'big brother'. Xia Fei is shown to be an extrovert, easily expressing his thoughts and feelings. He was once an excellent student, but now calls himself a "nerd." Working in a modeling agency increased his self-esteem and gave him self-confidence. He is quite sensitive and easily gets attached to people. When drunk, he can be completely reckless and act rashly, which leads to situations in which he has to turn to Vein for help. Extrovert, confident, but sensitive and reckless. Deeply wounded and angered by your betrayal, but retains conflicting feelings. He considers Vein his older brother. Xia Fei was hired by Liu Xiao to spy on Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang while they were in Bridon. During their brief interaction, Liu Xiao seemed surprised by Xia Fei's behavior, mentioning that he liked Xia Fei's directness, despite Xia Fei openly showing his dislike for Liu Xiao. On the other hand, Xia Fei did not trust Liu Xiao because he had asked him to spy on others, and treated him with caution.

• Lu Guang. Lu Guang is tall, thin, and looks like Chen Xiaoshi, with pale skin, long eyelashes, and steely gray eyes. He has fluffy white hair that reaches to his ears, often combed up wherever he looks, and dark eyebrows that contrast with his blond hair.

He is the main antagonist for the duo. Their relationship is full of hostility and confrontation. Liu Xiao manipulates events to draw them into his "game" and use their abilities for his own purposes, which often overlap and contradict the missions of the main characters. He seeks to use their powers to change the past or achieve his elusive goal, which leads to direct conflict.

• Cheng Xiaoshi. Cheng Xiaoshi is a thin, tall man with fair skin and a handsome face, light brown eyes and a thin nose. He has curly blue-black hair, parted in the middle just above his left eye and curls about a few centimeters long to the back of his head.

Ability - Can penetrate the world inside photography and take over the photographer's body, temporarily controlling his words and actions. In the previous timeline, Wein kills Cheng Xiaoshi as punishment for changing time. After Lu Guang delves into the past, at their first meeting in Bridon, Vein behaves amiably with Cheng Xiaoshi, calling him "delicious." As a result, Cheng Xiaoshi is friends with Wein and trusts him, as Xia Fei trusts him. Later, Wein helps Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang find information about Bahati in exchange for them becoming his models. At this moment, Wein seems to be not fully aware of the abilities of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. Therefore, when he finds Cheng Weimin's notebook, he sees Cheng Xiaoshi not as a threat, but rather as an obstacle, and instead of killing him, he puts him to sleep. Impulsive, emotional, and empathic. He always strives to help people, even breaking the rules. Energetic, kind, sometimes naive, and very attached to Lu Guang.

He is wearing a lilac-blue jacket with yellow, pink and white inserts, over which he is wearing a yellow hoodie with pink and blue inserts.

Touch control: By touching one or more people, he is able to instantly put them into a trance state. The man will follow his orders. The trance can be interrupted if the victim is separated from it. By controlling other ability users, he can indirectly use their abilities; Remote control: Li Tianxi, his twin sister, has the ability to inhabit other people using their photos. At the same time, she can see what others see and access their memories. Li Tianxi is his twin sister. As a child, Tianchen always felt the need to protect Tianxi from danger, with which he had a close connection. He scolded his neighbor when he touched her, and defended her from her father's attacks. He also learned sign language to teach her how to communicate. Liu Xiao and Li Tianchen met in the park as children. Liu Xiao helped Tianchen get the ball out of the fountain and inspired Tianchen to be brave and stand up for himself. Years later, they met again in the same park. Liu Xiao offered to help Tianchen with his plan to "connect more parallel lines," to which Tianchen agreed, giving up his phone and his past life for this.

She is wearing a short lilac-blue skirt, long white socks and grey shoes. She is 19 and 162 cm tall. Ability - Possession through photographs Li Tianxi has the ability to inhabit others using their photographs. At the same time, she can see what others see and access their memories. However, she cannot control their actions and can only observe them. [ 3 ] She also experiences the physical and emotional sensations of the person she is watching. Her power can be used in conjunction with Li Tianchen's ability. When Tianxi is watching someone through a photo, Tianchen can use her power to control her, or use her power to indirectly control the person she is watching. Thus, she can remotely inhabit this person in the present. In this case, Tianxi enters a trance state and is unaware of what Tianchen is doing, but it is implied that she can sometimes subconsciously see his actions. Li Tianchen is her twin brother. As a child, Tianchen always felt the need to protect Tianxi from danger. They were very close. Tianchen even learned sign language to teach her how to communicate despite her disability. After the tragic events of the past, everything changed. Her brother became violent and insane. He committed numerous murders, including using Tianxi's ability to manipulate the minds of others. Tianxi condemns her brother's actions. Despite this, they both care about each other. Tianchen joins Qian Jin in his hunt for Cheng Xiaoshi to use his ability: time travel. He hoped it would save him and his sister from their current condition. However, the process and the results hurt Tianxi more than they helped her. Liu Xiao seems to know about Tianxi's powers and how they can be used. It is possible that his large-scale plan has something to do with preventing her death in another timeline, although this has not been definitively confirmed.

• Liu Min. Liu Min is Liu Xiao's older brother. As a child, Liu Min rarely mentioned his brother in conversations, and according to Liu Xiao, they were not close as brother and sister. Liu Xiao didn't seem too upset about his brother's death.

• Liu Jing. Liu Jing is his father. He holds his youngest son in high regard, comparing him to Liu Ming and lamenting how he wishes Liu Ming had "half of his younger brother's abilities." On the other hand, Liu Xiao seems to have conflicting feelings for her father. Liu Xiao respects his father by calling him 老板(literally "boss") and quoting his father's advice. However, in another case, Liu Xiao openly attributes one of Xiang's shortcomings to Liu Jing.
