In the year 2222, Yan Mo, a female actress, contracted a peculiar blood disease due to an accident. The only cure for her was a serum containing a special type of blood. Yan Mo's friend, Dr. Lu Feiyan, a time-traveling scholar, identified Gu Yanzhi as the only person who met the criteria through historical records. Gu Yanzhi was a great scientist from the year 2022, two hundred years ago. After a year of research, Dr. Lu Feiyan successfully developed a time-traveling machine and prepared to send Yan Mo back to 2022 to obtain Gu Yanzhi's blood.

Dr. Lu Feiyan input all information about Gu Yanzhi into the robot Xiao O, for Yan Mo to take along. Dr. Lu Feiyan's time machine could travel through space and time on a closed-loop timeline, referred to as the CTC loop. Yan Mo was the subject on this timeline, so Dr. Lu Feiyan emphasized that she must be vigilant not to alter history. Yan Mo had only one year to live, and Dr. Lu Feiyan reminded her to return within that time frame. He also provided her with a blood collection device similar to a bracelet for convenience.

Dr. Lu Feiyan gave Yan Mo a stealth drug, cautioning her not to use it unless absolutely necessary due to its side effects. In a hurry, Yan Mo set off without fully understanding Dr. Lu Feiyan's instructions to avoid revealing her identity.

Gu Yanzhi, a male scientist from the 21st century, gained attention in the industry at a young age through numerous papers. He achieved a Ph.D. abroad with outstanding results and later returned to China, becoming the head of the Biotechnology Research Institute at Gao Shen Group. Over the years, Gu Yanzhi and his team successfully overcame challenges in postoperative rejection of blood diseases, saving countless patients.

On the stormy night of April 23, 2022, Yan Mo arrived at Gu Yanzhi's doorstep. In an attempt to enter his house, she accidentally woke him up, and in her haste to obtain his blood, she triggered a time loop, going back to 6 a.m. on the same day. Confused, Yan Mo met her assistant Xiao O, who informed her about the time loop.

To avoid further time loops and reduce her lifespan, Yan Mo decided to blend in with the current time. She learned about contemporary life and everything related to Gu Yanzhi to prepare herself. Gu Yanzhi, meticulous in his work, displeased the board of directors upon his return to the research institute. He even fired his third assistant for a minor mistake.

Pressured by the HR department, Gu Yanzhi agreed to attend the Future Technology Awards ceremony, organized by his friend Zhou Hanzhang. However, he refused to accept the award in person, causing embarrassment for Zhou Hanzhang. After the ceremony, Zhou Hanzhang suggested Gu Yanzhi stay overnight in a hotel, providing an opportunity for Yan Mo to collect his blood.

Yan Mo, disguised as a fan, entered Gu Yanzhi's hotel room, but her attempt to collect his blood was interrupted when Gu Yanzhi woke up. Unable to explain, Yan Mo pretended to be a fan, but Gu Yanzhi saw through her deception. In the ensuing confusion, Yan Mo's blood collection failed, and rumors spread about Gu Yanzhi's encounter with an unusual fan.

To investigate Yan Mo's identity, Zhou Hanzhang promised to help Gu Yanzhi. Despite various attempts, Yan Mo couldn't get close to Gu Yanzhi. Xiao O suggested that Yan Mo apply for the position of Gu Yanzhi's assistant. Yan Mo passed the assistant exam, but Gu Yanzhi, suspecting her intentions, refused to accept her as his assistant.

With only Yan Mo and Xiao O passing the assistant exam, Gu Yanzhi considered hiring Xiao O. However, Xiao O declined the assistant position to support Yan Mo. Rejected by Gu Yanzhi, Yan Mo had Xiao O work as a janitor to monitor Gu Yanzhi's actions.

Yan Mo followed Gu Yanzhi to a restaurant and witnessed someone attempting to take inappropriate photos. Together, they intervened to help, revealing Yan Mo's dedication to the cause.
