Ji Zhao, a folklore girl, always sees fragments of time at dusk: an abandoned clock shop and a lonely figure. When she stepped into the real "Sunset Watch Shop", Shi Yan, the "clockkeeper" trapped in the gap in time, appeared and accused her of being three years late. He claimed that Ji Zhao was his only "anchor" to escape from the endless cycle, and that only she could repair the collapsed space-time nodes.
Ji Zhao refused to believe it, but was protected by Shi Yan with his life in a fatal crisis. He declares: Her life is bound to his collapsed timeline.
Forced to travel together, they travel through the rifts in time. The Buddhist Ji Zhao showed amazing resilience and talent, while the indifferent Shi Yan revealed his greed for "normal time" and deep scars. When reality begins to distort due to the chaos of time and space, the mystery about the truth about imprisonment and the identity of Ji Zhao's "key" needs to be solved urgently.
Shi Yan stuffed the blood-stained pocket watch into Ji Zhao's palm and made the final decision:
"Ji Zhao, don't be late this time. Either follow me out of the cycle and live in normal time; or, join me and be trapped at the end of the eternal sunset forever."
