Shen Yanzhi, who came from a scholarly family, resolutely abandoned literature and joined the army to join the revolution. He suffered from chronic time dislocation inherited in his family. He would always travel through time and space unconsciously and uncontrollably. Every time he was suddenly thrown into the troubled times of the Republic of China, his clothes were torn and his body was covered with battle wounds. He often fell back into the painful past of family suffering and the death of his comrades. He would also meet the people who were bound to him again several times, but he was still unable to rewrite the established history.
Su Wanqing, the daughter of Jiangnan Embroidery House, is an ordinary woman who follows the linear path of time. She is well versed in Su embroidery, gentle and tenacious. The two people's time and space trajectories are each other's past and future, and their destinies are intertwined but it is difficult to stay in sync.
During the turbulent years of the war, Shen Yanzhi relived his regrets and heartbeats over and over again in time and space, while Su Wanqing kept the old promise, embroidered his lovesickness with needlework, and waited quietly for the rest of his life. In the ups and downs of troubled times, the deep love that transcends the barriers of time has become the only fateful anchor for the two to break free from the shackles of time and space and bind each other.
