Qin Wuya has lived for three hundred years. His appearance has not aged, but his memories are heavier than any history book. In a corner of a bustling city, he runs an old inn called Eternal, not for profit, but to wait for someone who can never return: the "fairy" who once saved his life on a Ming Dynasty battlefield, the woman who keeps disappearing and reappearing across different times and spaces.
Shen Zhao is a traveler trapped in a rift in time. She cannot control her transmigration, and each time she wakes, she may find herself in any era. The only constant is the Eternal Inn, which always appears in her life, and the immortal who is always smiling at her from behind the counter.
She brings him Victorian coins, a 1920 gramophone, and newspapers from the future.
He keeps every gift and records each time she arrives, leaving a lamp lit for her through the endless years.
As Shen Zhao's transmigration begins to spiral out of control, a mysterious organization covets her ability, and a great fire is foretold to spell the inn's future...
