Cultural relic restorer Jiang Linshen and oncologist Shen Zhaoning met because of a cultural relic restoration project. He tried to freeze time with his hands and repair thousand-year-old artifacts; but she faced the countdown of life every day, fighting for seconds with death. Two people who traveled retrograde in the long river of time fell in love, but were pushed into the abyss by family debts, ALS diagnosis and cultural relic smuggling conspiracy. When Jiang Linshen was forced to participate in the production of fakes in order to save Shen Zhaoning's life, and when Shen Zhaoning's hand holding the scalpel began to tremble, their love became a bronze rusted by the years - seemingly complete, but actually full of cracks.
