After inheriting the eerie pawnshop his father left behind, Duan Ran discovers that time can be pawned for luxury goods, or stolen to extend a life! The moment his pocket watch grows hot, he sees blue countdowns hovering over everyone’s heads. Watching a Lolita girl disintegrate into motes of light makes him understand the fate of a Keeper: protect time, or be consumed by it.
He meets Fuling, a sweet, soft-spoken girl who can generate True Thought Time, and the two team up to fight the plunderers. A pink-haired influencer steals time and grows violent; a black crow puppet conceals deadly traps; Zhou Xuan clings to immortality in his attempt to save his daughter; and the Hourglass Society seeks to devour the Earth’s source! From a rookie who could only freeze enemies within a 20-meter radius to a Keeper who coexists with Time-Devouring Beasts and controls the source of time, Duan Ran’s pocket watch records his growth: to avenge his father, protect Fuling, and defend Earth!
True Thought can purify darkness, and coexistence can turn the tide. When a time black hole swallows half a city, and the Council treats Earth as a time farm, Duan Ran grips Fuling’s hand. “In the new era, there will be no plundering, only protection!” But the pocket watch suddenly points toward the depths of the universe, where a new time fluctuation is spreading... This time, they must become the anchor points of time for the entire universe!
