July 11th, 1937, Shanghai. Apartment 699. At precisely 10 p.m., Sheng Qingrang, a renowned lawyer, returns home from an academic discussion. The hallway light abruptly goes out.
July 11th, 2015. The same apartment. At precisely 10 p.m., Zong Ying, a modern-day forensic doctor, returns home from a crime scene. The hallway light flickers.
Two time-spaces converge through this shared moment of light and shadow.
Sheng Qingrang is refined, gentle, and traditionally principled, with an inner strength that emanates tranquility.
Zong Ying is calm, decisive, and sharp in her work, possessing an almost unwavering determination.
Their first encounter: he is her “Mr. No Rush,” sheltering her with a black folding umbrella as he escorts her to the hospital. Their reunion: he is a tenant from another time, holding a rental agreement dated 1937.
Time and space intertwine as they meet in the quiet of the night. Their love, born in separate worlds, transcends the boundaries of time and space. Once kindled, it burns eternally.
