The Zhixia Used Bookstore at the end of the alley in the old city hides the secrets of time and the unspoken regrets of Lin Zhixia. After her grandmother passed away, she took over the bookstore left by Lao Chen, but while sorting out the belongings, she accidentally unlocked an old wooden box engraved with spiral patterns - it was the inheritance of the time patcher and the key to mending the regrets of time. From then on, she could see the glimmer of obsession scattered in the air, and could repair the time loopholes trapped by regrets: the children asking for little red flowers in a loop, the milk tea shop fixed at six o'clock in the evening, the best friend who forgot the promise, the father and son who had no time to apologize... Behind every loophole, there is an unfinished concern; every repair is a reconciliation with regret. She once wanted to give up her job due to the pain of backlash, and collapsed because of her own regrets. It wasn't until Shen Shiyan, the radiologist who always came to the bookstore to deliver warm milk tea, appeared. It wasn't until the time observer's reminders and the villain's obstructions came one after another that she slowly understood: The mission of the patcher is never to erase regrets, but to help people move on with their concerns. The secret of the old wooden box, the past of the master, the remnants of the great loophole in the Republic of China, Su Wan's obsession... As each loophole is repaired, the truth of time gradually emerges. While Lin Zhixia repaired other people's time, she finally learned to face her own regrets, reconcile with the past, and embrace time tenderly. "Make up for regrets and keep your heart. Time will not be unkind to every gentle person." - Lao Chen's words finally became the light for her to move forward.
