On a rainy night, deliveryman Lin Ye's electric car had a tire puncture at the foot of Wild Fire Ridge.
He found an old mobile phone that fell from the sky. The screen was on, and the wallpaper was a black-and-white photo of the Wildfire Ridge fire in 1973—the boy in the photo wearing a school uniform looked exactly like him.
A text message popped up on the phone: "The fire is coming, it's time for the lampkeeper to wake up."
From that night on, Lin Ye's life was completely overturned: the lame black cat that could speak human language, the underground passage hidden behind the convenience store refrigerator, the "crying" requiem, and the cold-faced girl who broke into his house with a knife - everyone was telling him the same secret:
He is the grandson of Lin Jianjun, the lantern keeper. His family has guarded a vein of fire emerging from the ground for generations.
The people of Qingyisi are chasing him, the temperature of the fire veins is soaring, and the lamp oil left by his grandfather in the ice field is waiting for him to get it. And the boy who had been standing in the cell phone photo for fifty years was waiting for him to light the soul-returning lamp and reveal a truth that had been deliberately forgotten——
The fire in 1973 burned not the Wild Fire Ridge, but the reincarnation of the lampkeeper.
The fire is out, but the people are still there. But this time, it's Lin Ye's turn to light the lamps
