Lin Zhaozhao, an immortal spirit cultivator, has hidden among humans for centuries. Every Spring Festival, she disguises herself as an ordinary elder to visit temple fairs and watch lantern shows—witnessing families reunite but never daring to join in. She once missed the last Spring Festival with her beloved young apprentice because she had to protect the mortal world. This year, intern reporter Chen Mo accidentally uncovers her identity while chasing a "longevity elder" story and pesters her to film her "Spring Festival routine." As he follows Lin through the streets, Chen notices she always stares at children's rock candy hawthorns and sighs at old house thresholds. When Chen uses AI to recreate the apprentice's face from years ago, Lin touches the virtual image of her apprentice holding a sugar gourd at the New Year's Eve dumpling table, finally sobbing out the "I miss you" she's hidden for a millennium. Chen then realizes he's not chasing a "longevity secret"—he's chasing an "unfinished reunion" across time.
