What is Reset about?

College student Li Shiqing and game designer Xiao Heyun are strangers on the same city bus when it explodes, and both wake up a few minutes earlier, back in their seats. Every time the bus blows up, the loop starts again. They try escaping, warning the police and studying the other passengers to work out who planted the bomb and why. Each attempt brings them closer to the truth and to each other, while the police grow suspicious of how much they know.

Based on the novel: 《开端》 by Qidaojun (祈祷君).
