On the eve of the fall of Nanjing, Lin Jingyi, a restorer at the National Museum, was repairing a piece of bloody Song porcelain when he touched blood on his fingertips and glimpsed the regret of a Ming Dynasty woman who had not returned. As the war approached, she continued to unlock broken memories spanning the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties while repairing cultural relics such as hostas, broken monuments, and bronze mirrors. She discovered that in every memory, she and the city guard officer Chen Huaiyuan were represented.
It turns out that the two are reincarnation lovers trapped in thousands of years of obsession. Every time they meet, they are always separated due to turmoil in their home country or unfulfilled promises. The countdown to the destruction of the city begins. They need to piece together the memories of the first generation in the flames of war, repair key jade pendants, and break the cycle of reincarnation with their deep love in this life. They not only protect the cultural relics of Jinling and their country, but also finally fulfill the promise of staying together for thousands of years.
