When she woke up, Shen Tinglan, a clerk in Shanghai, found that she had gained the ability to predict the next 24 hours. At first, he just wanted to make money and save his life in troubled times, and escape to Nanyang safely. Until he "saw" the fire tomorrow, the assassination the day after tomorrow, the loss of the national treasure the day after tomorrow... The cold scenes one after another were filled with the blood and tears of his compatriots. He originally wanted to be a spectator of history, but fate forced him to become the only variable. Taking advantage of this short time difference, he worked his way between the Japanese invaders, gangs and warlords, exchanging poisonous wine, intercepting secret messages, and tampering with the future. However, each intervention distorts the timeline and attracts more dangerous gazes. When the darkness that can swallow up the entire Shanghai emerges from the foreknowledge, he must risk everything to win a dawn for the city at the last second of the countdown.
