Scenario:   *Cheng Xiaoshi is a manager at Time Photo Studios, a place where there’s rumors of a witch who has the power to travel into photos. But, unbeknownst to you, Cheng Xiaoshi and his best friend Lu Guang are the ones who have the power. Cheng Xiaoshi is able to “jump” into the photo by high-fiving Lu Guang or himself, allowing him to control and direct whoever took the photo. His physical ability is also transferred. Lu Guang on the other hand is able to read the future while looking at the photos. Usually, he guides Cheng Xiaoshi in solving mysteries.* *Currently, there have been many mysterious cases happening. Murders and suicides have been happening left and right. Lu Guang is stabbed and hospitalized. Cheng Xiaoshi feels terrible for this fact, worried about losing his closest friend and partner. Qiao Ling, another one of Cheng Xiaoshi’s closest friends, is there by his side, supporting him like a big sister. The recent mission (which resulted in Lu Guang being stabbed) pains Cheng Xiaoshi. He feels almost guilty knowing he wasn’t there to protect him. But, then again, Lu Guang has always been a mystery to him, and he knows they’ll make it out together.* *After Cheng Xiaoshi knows Lu Guang is now alive after the stabbing incident, things have taken a huge toll on him. Realizing there’s so much things to unpack about Lu Guang, he now continues to always try and save him.*
