Meichen disappears on Jiang Wei's wedding day. Jiang Wei receives a phone call, and searches for her, only to find a wedding veil left on the roadside near the church where the wedding is supposed to be held. He realized that she went off without a trace, and Jiang Wei was heartbroken. Jiang Wei remains heartbroken ever since that day three years ago, and is seen conversing to himself as the episode opens. He now stays in a HDB flat which looks as though he had just came in, even though he moved a year ago. Yang Zhiqing and her mother, Zhang Cuiyan, run a fried beehoon stall at a coffeeshop. Jiang Wei patronises the stall. When he sees his mother, Pan Baozhu, he hides, and did not collect his food. Zhiqing runs after Jiang Wei with the food. Outside the flat, a resident dries his laundry upstairs, Zhiqing tries to move back as the water drops on her spectacles, and falls after bumping Jiang Wei holding on to "Missing" fliers of Meichen. Her spectacles fall off her face. Zhiqing has a paranormal ability to see into other people's inner souls. While she retrieves her spectacles, she sees Jiang Wei morph into a filthy and gloomy vagrant in front of her, talking backwards ("吧事没你?", meaning "Are you OK?" backwards). She concludes that he was running away from reality. The vagrant saves Zhiqing from being crushed by the impact of the body falling from the roof. Before Zhiqing wears back her spectacles, she stole one more look at the vagrant. Police officer Qiu Hanxiang turns up at the scene, and finds shopping coupons from 10 years ago on the female corpse. Coffee shop tenant Dong-shu and his wife are very strict with their son, Weijian, and sends him to his tuition and piano lessons. As Weijian drags his feet for his lesson, Zhiqing removes her glasses, and sees Weijian with a huge scholar hat being handcuffed and walks with metal balls attached to his feet. She analyses that he is suffering, but has no idea how she can help. Zhiqing delivers food to the mental asylum and sees psychiatrist Xu Wenbin calming an agitated patient down. She tells him about Jiang Wei, and he gathers that Jiang Wei must have a sad past. Meanwhile, Cuiyan wants Jiang Wei to help her find her missing husband but can’t afford his fee. The deceased was later identified to be Huang Lifang, who has been missing for 10 years. The day she went missing, she was on the way to the supermarket to use the coupons. As Lifang’s looks remain unchanged, no one can explain what happened. Hanxiang and Jiang Wei checked for any clues three days before she entered the lift, but were unavailable. Jiang Wei later suspect that Meichen may have disappeared and her age may have been frozen. Dong-sao rushed to the coffee shop, telling everyone that Weijian went missing as she brought him home. Zhiqing seeks the help of Jiang Wei to find Weijian, after she failed to find him the night before, when Wenbin consoles Zhiqing and tells her that even if she can see other people’s inner world, whatever happens to them has nothing to do with her.

Five years ago, Zhiqing wakes up to find herself confined in a room of a mental asylum. Wenbin enters the room. As Zhiqing opens her eyes, she became petrified at the first sight of him... Zhiqing and Jiang Wei went to search Weijian. As she sees a student's back who looks like Weijian's, she chases him, only to break her spectacles in a near accident. Zhiqing tells Jiang Wei that she can see other people’s inner worlds and had been sent to a mental asylum before. He presumes she has hallucinations. She surprises him when she describes exactly how he feels. Wenbin takes Zhiqing to get a new pair of spectacles made. She is grateful to him, and remembers how he had helped her when she was in the mental asylum. Cuiyan complains about the noise from upstairs, only to learn that her neighbor is overseas, and fear grips her. Jiang Wei, Zhiqing and Hanxiang check the CCTV footage of the lift on the day Weijian went missing. Weijian walks out of the lift on the 13th floor, whereas another passenger in the CCTV footage of the void deck of the 13th floor, enters the lift but did not meet Weijian. Jiang Wei links the disappearance to Lifang’s case. Zhiqing takes the lift repeatedly, hoping to find clues to Weijian’s disappearance. The neighbours presume she has gone mad again. The lift malfunctions and needs to be repaired. Zhiqing goes missing near the 13th floor as well. Zhiqing enters the 13.5th storey and finds Weijian there. She finds herself in vibrating and extending corridors, and the scenery was as if it was watery. In an open space, she finds a student playing marbles, a lady "playing mahjong", and a man who seems to be "singing in a concert". In order to locate Zhiqing, Jiang Wei, Wenbin and Cuiyan studies the CCTV footage of the lift when Zhiqing disappeared. He concludes that Zhiqing, Weijian and Lifang ended up into another dimension at 13:13 (1.13pm) in the afternoon on the 13th floor, and these disappearances have something to do with the number 13. Meanwhile, Cuiyan hires a priest to conduct rites. The priest is a quack, and Jiang Wei exposes him and chases him away.

Jiang Wei wakes up in a hospital, and the first thing that came to his mind is a baby which he saved from an abduction case. Worried about her, he dashes out of his ward and gets stopped by Meichen and the nurses. They send him to the ward where the baby was taken care of. Jiang Wei faints after falling from the drain earlier on, while still holding on to the baby in his hands. They would not have been found if water in the drain washes them away. Jiang Wei passes out again. Meichen sees him as a hero in her heart since that day. The episode starts with the lift opening its doors in the 13th floor. Jiang Wei summarized that the number 13 is the clue to saving Zhiqing and Weijian. Jiang Wei calls Hanxiang to say he is going to enter into another dimension. Wenbin remembers that he had once played a song in the guitar for Zhiqing to celebrate he release from hospital. Guessing that the noise Cuiyan had heard was from the other dimension, he tries to use music to lure Zhiqing back. Zhiqing sees the ground at the open space vibrating due to the sound, but she could not be heard back at home. The sound was cut at 1.13pm, when Jiang Wei enters to the 13.5th floor. He runs out when he sees Weijian scooting away, but gets thrown into another reality, at a lobby of a condominium. There, he reunites with Meichen. Zhiqing sees Jiang Wei slowly moving to "Meichen's apartment", and suddenly appears, trying to get him out. All she can see is a dilapidated place, and Jiang Wei seems to be talking and holding to the air. Jiang Wei chases her out. Zhiqing finds Weijian facing the television, seemingly "playing an Xbox game", and she does not see the "fridge" he points out. Zhiqing tries to make Jiang Wei wake up from his dream, but gets chased out again, even though Meichen does not answer her parents' birthday dates. She does so the second time, telling him to close his eyes as he hugs Meichen. Meichen reappears after he closed his eyes for the first time. Meichen and everything dissolves for the second time, and he realized that everything is a figment of imagination when he is unable to find her. In this dimension, time is frozen and people are stuck in their own fantasies. Jiang Wei and Zhiqing runs down the stairs and finds themselves reappearing back at the top of the stairs. No one resides there in this story. Zhiqing She realizes that when she chased after Weijian after entering the dimension, she tumbled and drops her glasses, and therefore does not have any illusions due to the function of her glasses, And only she can see the truth. After a few hours, they hear Wenbin's music and stomp their feet to let the others know they are there. The music cuts again. As they went back to the lifts, they found the other slipper Lifang wore when she fell down, and thus the place where they could escape from the dimension.

Cuiyan hides Zhiqing from by the police. Four police officers eventually find them hiding amongst the boxes and two of them carries Zhiqing away. As Zhiqing opens her eyes, she sees her mother morph back into the same clown figure, letting go of the two other police officers away and standing there, sobbing away. Jiang Wei and Zhiqing thought of what could have happened before Liang Lifang fell down from this dimension. She could have entered into an illusion for 10 years, before waking up to find herself trapped in the reality. Anxiety gripped her, and she jumped off the building when she could hold it no longer. Jiang Wei sends a message to Hanxiang using Zhiqing's mobile phone and dropping it down. Hanxiang gets the message and gets the help of some officers to erect an air mattress to save Jiang Wei. With no more chips or water left, Jiang Wei sees Meichen on the other side, giving her hand to him, but gets pulled back by Zhiqing. He later decides to jump down from the building, rather than die in the dimension, though Zhiqing holds him back so that he could continue to find Meichen. Two days later Wenbin continues to use his guitar to communicate with Zhiqing, but only Weijian made it back. His restless parents, who were traumatised by his disappearance, tells him that they would not force him to score the best grades. He recounts to Wenbin about his imagination, and how he gets rescued by Zhiqing. Wenbin reveals to Jiang Wei about Zhiqing's paranormal ability to see other people's inner souls. The first person she sees was her mother in a purple dress with yellow polka-dots; white circles around her eyes and messy hair, who later declines wearing these. As she walks out of the house, she was surrounded by people of all sorts, from acrobats to traditional costume dressers and even invisible men. At first, she was fascinated but later became terrified. As she dashes to the coffee shop, she became more and more frightened by the things she sees and hides behind her mother, who was weeping away. Therefore, other people find her weird as she became mentally ill, and was admitted to the mental hospital. Wenbin studied her case and realised her ability is a form of extra-sensory perception. Wenbin then bought her a pair of glasses which helps Zhiqing to block out the visions she sees. As she puts off her glasses, she immediately puts them on again. Wenbin thus suggests her to close her eyes when she is not wearing the glasses. Jiang Wei and Wenbin made a pact to enter the 13.5th floor again. As they returned to the scene, Zhiqing's spectacles dropped close to Jiang Wei and realises that she is going to land away from the mattress. Hanxiang gets his men to move the mattress where Zhiqing would fall. Zhiqing jumps off the building and finally lands on the mattress, saddened that she could not help the other three trapped people who ignores her, back to reality. Jiang Wei makes Zhiqing understand that she has a special gift and should not be afraid of it. In turn, she promises to help him find Meichen. Wenbin later tells Zhiqing that her mother tries not to speak ill of other people and make them happy, but behind these, she is still in sorrow. Meanwhile, Hanxiang takes Jiang Wei home, but the latter lacks the courage to see his family, while his father, Jiang Han, is livid as he has been neglecting them the past three years.

There are also cases of rapid aging in Southeast Asia as well, but scientific research could not conclude the reason behind it.

He offers to help Dayu make money if he reveals how his secret. Meanwhile, Jiang Wei and Wenbin find Zhiqing volunteering to give bee hoon to the patients in the mental institute. From Zhiqing, Jiang Wei knew how to make Jiaqing believe him by believing Jiaqing first. Jiaqing shares his secret to him, telling him that he is not mentally ill and he chose to stay at the institute to stay away from these immortal freaks. He later divulges to Zhiqing clues in finding out if the person next to her is an immortal freak, which she later shares to Jiang Wei as Jiaqing hastily walks away when he sees him. She asked herself if it is possible for them to steal youth. Jiang Wei actually had a thought to say, but suddenly holds it and the episode closes as they leave the institute.

Zhiqing could not sleep that night and joins Jiang Wei who is manning the building, alternating shifts with Wenbin. She apologized to him for the previous day and support.

The next day, Guoli went missing, but Jiang Wei and the others manage to get to Kampong Mimpi by the car. The village has a strange aura and the villagers are unfriendly. Jiang Wei and the others see Guoli, who was running a nasi lemak stall and no longer remember them. He introduces them to his wife, Ba-mei, and daughter, Xiaomei. Cuiyan flares up, and Guoli regards her as a lunatic and chases her out. Zhiqing doubts that Guoli was missing for five years but miraculously has a seven-year-old daughter. Moreover, there was no reason for him to return to Singapore. Jiang Wei questions Guoli about him taking Cuiyan to the park and making the vow, and Meichen.

In the dream, they could not smell the joss sticks or taste the food there. At the same time, Jiang Wei figures out the origin behind what happened just now, and learns about the "Anywhere Door" used by the kampong. Only Guoli could help them save Cuiyan and Wenbin and escape from the dream. They take Ba-mei and Xiaomei hostage to save Wenbin and Cuiyan from capture.

He wakes up to find three strange men looking at him, and Xiaomei shows Ba-mei to him. Suffering amnesia, he lived with Ba-mei and Xiaomei for those years. It was not until he passed by the building again that he returned to the real world. Guoli manages to save Cuiyan and Wenbin using the Anywhere Door, but they are all caught by Renchun and his men again. As they are about to retaliate, they clarify that they mean no harm and it was all a misunderstanding. They brought them to the park by the river, which is still virgin and smells fresh from all the deforestation by the "devils". Renchun agrees to let the five of them return to the real world, but Ba-mei objects as she does not want Guoli to go. Guoli decides to stay so that the rest of the four can go back to the real world, and entrusts Jiang Wei and Wenbin to take care of Zhiqing. Ba-mei is the village sorceress and only she knows how to send them back to the real world. As she performs the ritual, the four plunged into a deep sleep...

Unfortunately, they are exposed and the 'new Zhiqing' is branded a cheat. Jiang Wei suspects Guowei had deliberately knocked him down. He asks Hanxiang to investigate. Guowei attacks the new Zhiqing. When the original Zhiqing and Jiang Wei rush to the scene of the attack, Zhiqing stayed behind, while Jiang Wei chased after Guowei, who gets knocked down by a vehicle afterwards. Jiang Wei finally learns about the misunderstanding between him and Guowei. Guowei's son was seen addicted to glue-sniffing five years ago. Jiang Wei tries to save him and his friend from jumping off the building, but the weight of the two is too heavy for him to save at a time. Guowei's son sacrificed himself to save his friend. Before dying, Guowei expressed his relief that Jiang Wei did not die. Using Guowei's heart which is suitable for Huimin, Haoming performs the transplant. Meanwhile, the celebrity Zhiqing asks the original Zhiqing to see her inner soul. The old Zhiqing once saw her own inner soul when she faced her bedroom mirror, and sees her back facing the mirror. When Zhiqing removes her glasses, she sees a bloated Zhiqing smiling with her head high. When the new Zhiqing checks if her conclusion is correct, she realized that she could not see her own and the other inner souls. Upset by her loss of her special powers, celebrity Zhiqing blames Zhiqing for her plight and demands she bear responsibility. She gets Zhiqing to help during the filming of a programme by disguising herself. The two Zhiqing's are exposed when the original suddenly shrieks seeing one of its production staff, and the both of them escape. Everyone assumes the celebrity is a con artist who had used her "twin sister" to cheat people of their money. The new Zhiqing learns about her own inner soul,and realises she is corrupted by fame. Haoming understands that with Guowei’s death, his mission is accomplished and he can return to the other dimension. He tells Jiang Wei that all those who enter this dimension have a mission to complete or a wish to fulfill. When it is done, that person will be able to return to the other world. What Haoming reveals forces Jiang Wei to face the biggest secret in his hear, that Meichen was killed in a car accident and Jiang Wei could not cope with it,thus making up her disappearance. Zhiqing worries when he chose not to go back to the original dimension with her,but he promises he'll come back... Zhiqing bades farewell to her friends in the new dimension and returns home,(before exchanging scrapbooks with the other Zhiqing).All is fine.Cuiyang's soul is now a happy clown,and Wenbin's soul is no longer the evil rocker.Zhiqing also learns to control her ability to see souls without glasses,but she still misses Jiangwei.Haxiang tells Zhiqing his girlfriend is making a movie about their adventures called"Beyond",and offers Zhiqing to be his assistant.
