It is said to be adapted from the 9,000-word novel "You Returning Soul Corpses".

Time-travel dramas have similar paradoxes: I went back to the past and killed my mother, and then I no longer exist, and how can I go back to the past if I don't exist. "Interstellar" and "Terminator" all have similar problems, and this movie solves this problem with a wonderful plot: when

female A was a baby, she was taken to an orphanage, and when she grew up, she met male B and had a one-night stand. Later, male B left, and female A gave birth to a daughter, who was secretly carried away not long after. However, due to her rare male and female constitution and the uterus problem caused by her fertility, the doctor did a sex reassignment operation for her without authorization. At this time, female A became male A.

One day, Man A went to a bar to drink, and told the owner of the shop, Man C, his misfortune, and vowed to kill the guy who stole his daughter. Male C is actually a member of the Time Travel Bureau (an agency that recruits people to travel through time and space to nip crime in the bud), and wants to help Male A and recruit Male A to join the team. So, male C took male A back to the past, but male A fell in love with female A at this time. It turned out that male B who had a one-night stand with female A was her future transgender herself.

Male C had to take Male A back to the future and recruit him to join him. At the same time, he went back to the past and secretly took away the daughters of Male A and Female A and sent them to an orphanage farther away. At this time, the truth came out. (1) The original female A and the future transgender self gave birth to him and were sent to the past. (2) Male C was actually an old male A, who recruited himself to become a member of the Time Travel Bureau. Everyone involved in the plot description is actually the protagonist himself.

The story forms a closed loop, unlike other time-travel dramas, which go back to the past and change some things to produce a butterfly effect, which makes the self before the time-travel become different.
