Pei Qingzhu has a secret that she has hidden for twenty years - she can hear the whispers of old things. While working part-time at the "Shiguangji" antique store, a gilt pocket watch broke into her life, bringing an urgent request from Gu Jingchen, an industrialist in the Republic of China, and also involved a name named "Tingwan". Not long after, Xie Tingwan came to the door looking for family secrets. The two became connected because of the pocket watch. Not only did they uncover the truth about Gu Jingchen's disappearance and find the anti-Japanese blueprint hidden in the watch, but also, under the guidance of old objects, they touched the nostalgia and feelings of family and country that spanned nearly a century. When the coveting of the Gu family and the dusty family past happened one after another, Pei Qingzhu's "listening to old things" ability became the key to protecting secrets and emotions. This is a time dialogue started by a pocket watch, and it is also a story of two girls using warmth and courage to bring old memories back to life.
