In New Chang'an, scavenger Lin Wanzhao was tortured for being able to predict three seconds of the future, and a buried space-time experiment flashed repeatedly in his mind. She met Su Banxia, an architect who came to retrieve her ancestral home, and they discovered that each other was related to the "Candle Dragon Project" - Lin Wanzhao was actually the only "natural anchor" in the experiment. Now the chaebol Lu Huaishan has restarted his experiment, trying to tear apart the space-time channel using the anchor point as energy. In order to prevent the crack from expanding, the two were forced to flee, and Lin Wanzhao had to make a choice within seventy-two hours: seal the crack, or become a living stabilizer.
