A courier that can crawl on its own is sent to an old house that has long since burned down, but the recipient is Su Yan, an ordinary college student.
The strange crawling at the late-night inn, the mole on the left corner of the mysterious man's eye overlapping with the figure in the old photo, the sudden appearance of a selfie "three days later" on the phone... The moment when ordinary life was torn apart, Su Yan realized that the fire that burned everything ten years ago contained the secrets that his fathers guarded with their lives.
"Don't touch that box, it recognizes its owner." A man named Lu Ze suddenly appeared. He held the key to Su Yan's house, carried the cold incense left at the fire scene, and knew the bloody chain behind the smuggling of cultural relics. When the red rattan emerged from the express box, and when the bloodstains of recognition appeared on Su Yan's wrist, the fragments buried by time began to be pieced together - his father was no ordinary teacher, the ruins of his old house contained secret treasures of the Republic of China, and Lu Ze's identity was far more complicated than "the son of a comrade in arms."
One is an ignorant student who is drawn into the whirlpool, and the other is a mysterious guardian with unknown purpose. They are forced to be tied up to trace the truth, but as they get closer again and again, they discover that each other's fate has been tightly entangled by red rattan in the fire twenty years ago.
Is the express box containing salvation or curse? The photo "three days later" foreshadows death, or another time-traveling game? When the mysterious man in white clothes appeared again, Su Yan finally understood that the so-called recognition of the master was never a choice, but a fate that had already been written.
