Archaeologist Lin Mu touched the mysterious jade cicada in a Han tomb and was involved in the turbulence of time and space. In order to save her companions, she was forced to form a contract with the "Night Watch" organization that maintains the timeline, and became a scavenger wandering in the gaps of history.
Her first mission is to return to Shanghai in 1928 and retrieve the out-of-control "resonating bell". However, the mission went completely out of control at the beginning - she was supposed to be a passer-by in history, but she was spotted by Jiang Linyuan, the Night Watch traitor who was supposed to be "cleared". "You're three years late," he told her.
The neon-lit Shili Foreign Market is not only the starting point of the space-time battle, but also the whirlpool of huge conspiracy. Here, she met Shen Zhiyu, a girl who could see the trajectory of time, and also encountered the fatal pursuit of Night Watch Commander Zhong Ziyan. In the process of rescuing the lone army on the verge of annihilation and exploring the historical truth, Lin Mu discovered that his mother's disappearance, Jiang Linyuan's defection, and even the establishment of the Time Administration were closely intertwined with this era.
When saving one person conflicts with protecting the fate of millions of people, when the cold laws of time and space collide fiercely with vivid historical emotions, Lin Mu must make a choice: follow the night watchman's iron law of "non-interference", or listen to the bell in his own heart to protect those stars that should not be forgotten in the torrent of time?
This is an adventure about time, memory and choice. In the folds of history, every moment hides the possibility of changing the world.
Intention: It is a humanistic interrogation about "memory, dignity and choice" through the shell of time and space travel. What it ultimately celebrates is the small but firm resistance that people can still make in the face of the irresistible torrent.
