In 1926, Ji Lanjin, a new woman, ran the first women's normal school in Jiangnan and was the most sober woman of that era. But on the wedding day, time suddenly stopped for everyone except the man who fell from the roof. This man calls himself Xu Ze'an and is a Beiyang sentinel who was supposed to die on the battlefield eight years ago. He said that his rebirth is a "time rift" - whenever he is close to the origin of the incident, reality will peel off a "paradox layer" and everyone will become a puppet. They must complete the correction within the layer, otherwise the stasis will spread to the entire Republic of China.
