Shen Ran, a senior high school student, physically traveled to Runzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty in an experimental accident. When he woke up, there was only a cold countdown in his ears - fifteen days later, he will be completely assimilated into this era, his consciousness will dissipate, and he will disappear forever.
He was penniless, had no household registration, could not take the imperial examination, and did not even have a legal identity.
Survival is his only goal.
He exchanged a piece of Song brocade for his first payment of silver at a silk and satin shop, calculated the whereabouts of every penny in the inn, hired his first escort, and under the push of fate, he became the escort of Li Qingwan, a young lady from an aristocratic family.
He couldn't open a shop, so he ran a drink shop in the form of takeaway; he couldn't take the imperial examination, so he disassembled and packaged modern knowledge, stuffed it into bottles allowed by this era, and taught it to the girl trapped in the boudoir bit by bit - teaching her to calculate accounts, read contracts, see people's hearts clearly, and teach her to make a way for herself in this set of cannibalistic rules.
He thought he was teaching her how to survive.
Little did he know that she was becoming his only meaning in this world.
In modern times, he can't get a word of recognition even though he tries his best. Here, for the first time, he confirmed his worth - not through crushing, not through golden fingers, but through a real, living person who changed his destiny because of his existence.
But the countdown never stops. And the system has an iron law that he never dares to touch: if the heart beats, it will die faster.
When the end of the fifteen days came, she responded to all his teachings in the same way he taught her.
He caught it with a smile.
Then, a person walked into the silence where the countdown reached zero.
Intention: To exchange a brief encounter for a lifetime of sobriety. In the limited countdown, teach your lover how to live strong and alone.

The male protagonist's surname is Shen, his given name is Ran, and his courtesy name is Yichen. The heroine's surname is Li, her given name is Qingwan, and her courtesy name is Qinghuan. It is homophonic to "Yichen Qinghuan", which comes from Su Shi's "Huanxisha", "The taste of the world is Qinghuan."
He only has fifteen days, and he is destined not to have a vigorous love. He can only share a "pure joy" with her - a light and sincere joy.
"A piece of pure joy" - even if it is as small as a speck of dust, it is worthy of having the purest joy in the world.
In the year when Li Qingwan got her haircut, her parents gave her the name "Qing Huan" in the hope that she would not have to pursue great wealth, but that she would live a refreshing and joyful life. This motivation was influenced by the heroine's family's experiences over the past ten years...
