## Synopsis[edit]

After repeatedly finding herself dying in an explosion while riding the same bus, Li Shiqing finally concludes that she is stuck in a never-ending time loop. Inadvertently, she drags fellow passenger Xiao Heyun into her loop. They then realize that there are chances to disembark from the bus and avoid the explosion. They also discover that calling the police is counterproductive and leads to being interrogated as suspects instead of being able to avert the disaster. Taking the matter into their own hands, they pair up to find the dangerous bomber on the bus.

Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing are just two ordinary people who lack the halo of the protagonist and slowly realize self-growth after experiencing life and death challenges time and time again. While constantly going through time loops and seeking the truth, they also reflected contemporary social phenomena from the identities and experiences of the passengers on the bus, discussed bipolar topics about human nature and reality, and re-realized the meaning of life.[3]
