"Link Click" (Chinese: 时光代理人; pinyin: Shíguāng Dàilǐ Rén, literally "Time Agent") is a Chinese donghua (animated series) that follows the story of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, two men who run a small photography shop called "Time Photo Studio." They have a unique ability: by using a photograph, Cheng Xiaoshi can enter the photo and experience the events that took place within the past 12 hours before the picture was taken. However, he can only inhabit the body of the person who took the photo and is limited to their actions and thoughts.

Lu Guang acts as Cheng Xiaoshi's guide and strategist, telling him what to do and not to do while he's inside the photograph. He can see what's happening in the photo from the outside and provides vital information to Cheng Xiaoshi. He has strict rules:

•  Cheng Xiaoshi must only follow the photographer's actions and thoughts.

•  He cannot change the past.

Despite these rules, Cheng Xiaoshi often finds himself emotionally invested in the situations he enters, leading him to make choices that deviate from Lu Guang's instructions. This often has unforeseen and sometimes devastating consequences on the present.

Each case they take on is usually brought to them by a client, and involves entering a photo to solve a problem, uncover a secret, or fulfill a wish. They might be helping a restaurant owner catch a food thief, or trying to uncover the truth behind a seemingly accidental death.

The series explores themes of:

•  Consequences of actions: Cheng Xiaoshi's impulsive decisions highlight the ripple effects of even seemingly small changes to the past.

•  Moral dilemmas: The duo often faces difficult ethical choices as they navigate complex situations.

•  Human connection: The stories explore the bonds between people and the impact of loss and grief.

•  Mystery and suspense: The series features intriguing mysteries and twists that keep viewers engaged.

•  Time travel paradoxes: Although not a traditional time travel story, the show touches upon the potential dangers and consequences of altering the past.

"Link Click" is praised for its compelling storyline, well-developed characters, stunning animation, and emotional depth. It's a popular donghua that has garnered a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
