Shen Wei, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the Hongxing Machinery Factory in 1992 while reviewing archives for writing a thesis, and became the broadcaster Lin Xiaoyu who was about to die "accidentally". Two mysterious deaths of female workers, the dust-laden clock tower secrets, and suspicions of corruption in the factory drew her into the center of the whirlpool. She found that she had a similar appearance to the deceased, and Chen Mo, the silent security officer, seemed to hold the key clues. Shen Wei works step by step as Lin Xiaoyu, using modern reasoning thinking to unearth evidence. He and Chen Mo go from testing each other to fighting side by side. In the complex interpersonal and power game of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s, they uncover the truth about the murder case that spans time and space, and vow to break the fate of death.
