Lin Shian, an antique clock restorer, has a calm and reserved personality. He can sense the emotional fragments of the owner by touching the old clock.
Since the age of ten, she has dreamed of the same scene every night: Shanghai in the 25th year of the Republic of China, with catkins flying under the bell tower.
Until that rainy night, top star Jin Yanzhou broke into her watch repair shop and brought an ancient pocket watch with the hands always stopped at 22:17.
When two identical pocket watches met and their fingertips touched, an illusion that spanned a century suddenly descended——
The farewell night between Shen Xinghe, a down-and-out scholar, and Su Haitang, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, was exactly the same as her dream.
It turns out that they are two-year-old flowers.
In the previous life, they were lovers who were washed away by the torrent of time, but in this life, they are on opposite sides due to old family affairs.
Jin's father had firmly opposed their contact, until a letter that had been dusty for thirty years revealed the truth:
When I sent him to Yanbian, I didn't intend to abandon him, but to protect him in the name of breaking up the relationship.
Jin Yanzhou tore up the heir's script and handed his back to Lin Shi'an without reservation:
"I can do anything you want me to do, even if it's against the whole world."
Amid the ticking of clocks in the room, a pocket watch and a roll of microfilm became the key to uncovering the past.
When lies collide with truth, can the suspended time be restarted?
This time, it's me who will protect you.
