17-Year-old Lu Xing has been living in the shadow of the disappearance of his father, the captain of the Mars Exploration Team, Lu Ming. She always felt that her father's departure was an unsolved mystery, until after a meteorite impact in 2076, a star pendant left by her father was accidentally activated, allowing her to start a communication across time and space with herself in 2095.
A letter from Lu Xing in the future through the "Time Fold Instrument" is like a lamp, illuminating her confused path forward: from guiding her to find her father's "Mars Diary" hidden in the old laboratory, to uncovering the truth that her father sacrificed on Mars to repair the team members' escape cabin, to letting her know that the pendant contains the key to "space-time resonance" data - all of these are the "space-time gifts" that her father buried for her back then.
In the conversation with his future self, accompanied by Lin Yue, Director of the Space-Time Communications Administration, Lu Xing gradually got out of the quagmire of obsession. She grew from the girl immersed in grief at the beginning to a student at the Interstellar Exploration Institute, participating in the improvement of the "Time Wrinkle Meter", and determined to fulfill her father's dream of "transmitting thoughts across time and space." She learned to reconcile with the past, and understood that her father never really left, but only turned into starlight to accompany her in another way; she also understood the meaning of the future, not to indulge in memories, but to move forward bravely with love and expectations.
When the promise of the "Thinking Transmission Plan across Time and Space" was opened under the starry sky, and when the light of the pendant, the blue light of the instrument intertwined with the starlight in the night sky, Lu Xing finally understood: the true meaning of the wrinkles in time is not to trap the regrets of the past, but to become a connection of longing.
