Reset (Chinese: 开端) is a 2022 Chinese time-travel/whodunit streaming television series based on a novel by Qidaojun. It tells the story of a college student (Zhao Jinmai) and a video game designer (Bai Jingting) who are trapped in a time loop on a soon-to-explode bus.

Synopsis[]

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.
