A broken glass lamp that spanned a hundred years illuminated two mortal relationships soaked in blood.
The modern cultural relic restorer "Shen Yanqing" was born with six fingers. When his fingertips touch the ancient objects, he will see phantoms. When she was repairing a glass lantern that recorded the arson case of a theater troupe in the Republic of China, the mirror actually reflected "Shen Huansha", a female swordsman whose appearance was completely destroyed in 1935. As the lamp flame flickered, two time and space quietly overlapped - the antidepressant turned into a porcelain bottle with golden sores, and the blood stains under the microscope corresponded to the secret message embroidered with luminous butterfly powder.
The theater leader "Lu Zhao" transforms into a cold-blooded killer "Lu Erye" on a full moon night; the security consultant "Lu Chen" hides a violent personality under the gentle appearance. When cultural relics in the museum spontaneously ignite mysteriously, pointing to the dusty serial murder case; when the undercurrent of warlord "Cheng Hongzhen"'s "lamp oil" drug surges, the stage turns into a spy battlefield. The love and suspicion of the past life are intertwined in the shadow of the lamp: Lu Chen's grandfather's diary contains Shen Yanqing's baby photo, but Lu Zhao's gun is aimed at Shen Huansha's eyebrows.
The Bloody Lantern Festival started, and the time and space barrier collapsed. The old scars on the palms of the deputy director "Cheng Shiyao" burned, and the memory of the hero a hundred years ago surged back to life - it turned out that the catastrophes in twin time and space were all tied to the same greedy soul. Shen Yanqing walked through the sea of fire and merged with Shen Huansha's soul; Lu Chen and Lu Zhao were side by side in this life. When the genuine lamp melts away, what emerges from the ashes is a century-old love letter: "Lend me thirty years and I will give you half a lifetime of love."
This is a time-and-space love affair that competes with fate for the true love amid the cracks of cultural relics and the smoke on the stage.
