On his 25th birthday, delivery boy Chen Shi accidentally awakened the ability to stop time in order to save a girl, at the cost of 24 hours of his life. Debt collector Ah Miao immediately came to his door and told him that he owed 720 hours of "time debt". If he could not pay it off in 30 days, his life would be drained instantly.
In order to survive, Chen Shi was forced to join the "Debt Collection Team" of the Palace of Hell to deal with time anomalies in the city: recovering the "time-lagers" trapped in obsession, sealing the "rift in time" that distorts time, and getting acquainted with Xiao Qi, a time-sensitive boy who escaped from the laboratory of the Palace of Eternal Life.
As the mission deepened, Chen Shi discovered that the Palace of Eternal Life was extracting time from living people on a large scale to create "immortality medicine", and A Miao was also captured to serve as the medicine guide for the "Seed of Time". In the final battle to destroy the stronghold of the Palace of Eternal Life, A Miao sacrificed himself to destroy the Seed of Time. Before his death, he entrusted the number and 2,700-year-old debt to Chen Shi.
Chen Shi inherited the "Ding Wei-Qi San" work badge and officially became a time debt collector. He took Xiao Qi and continued to fight against the Palace of Eternal Life with his teammates to protect the city's time flow. The road ahead is long and the debt is heavy, but Chen Shi knows that as long as time is still flowing, the debt collector's journey will not stop.

"If time could be exchanged for money, how much life would you be willing to stake?" - A deliveryman uses his countdown life to fight against the greed of the entire world.
