Synopsis

When Zhang Li left for a trip to the Ebiz ruins, he didn’t expect to bring back company, especially not a man made of stone! Though Li grows fond of the living statue, their time together doesn’t last long, as “Rocky” soon crumbles before Li’s eyes. Wishing for a miracle, Li suddenly finds himself in Ebiz far back in the past and reunites with Rocky.
