During the troubled times of the Republic of China, Ling Yun, a new magic master from Jinmen, saved the country by touring with grand illusions and was able to turn a plane into a plane in public; Mei Jiuniang, a descendant of the Shanghai Southern School of magic, relied on her exquisite close-up techniques to protect the legacy of her master and refused to perform for the Japanese army. One north and one south, one foreign and one native, were originally rivals in the newspaper war, but they became entangled because senior Japanese officials forced them to share the stage.
Unexpectedly, they discover that the lost tradition of each other's masters is "to steal the sky and change the sun", which requires the combination of two skills to complete. From the collision of skills to the secret development of love, from practicing together to avoid disasters to using magic to pass secrets and transport materials, the two used magic as a blade and magic as a shield in the current situation to protect the righteousness of their family and country while also guarding their deep feelings in life. In the end, they used a shocking "stealing the sky for the sun" to write a legend in troubled times.
