Synopsis

On her first day of work at Wuji Online, Zhen Keyi, a young white-collar worker in the city, inadvertently disrupts the magnetic field that replenishes the energy of the sleeping cabin, causing Zhen Jun, who was sleeping in the cabin, to awaken.

Zhen Jun mistakenly considers that Zhen Keyi, who looks like Zhen Xiang, is his elder brother.

It is not until Zhen Jun is brought home by Zhen Keyi that Zhen Jun realizes that he is not only alive but also in modern society 1,800 years later.

With nowhere else to go, Zhen Jun is taken in by Zhen KeYi, and they begin to live together in a ridiculous way, leading to a sweet and romantic love story.
