It's Never Too Late to Join Mortise and Tenon
About This Novel
When the restoration of an ancient building encounters a century-old grudge, it is not only the old house that is eroded by wind and rain, but also the sincerity that cannot be expressed. On the first day that ancient building restorer Su Wan took over the restoration project of Gu's old house, he discovered the most dangerous secret of the powerful person Gu Chengzhou. Under the interlaced surveying lights on a rainy night, the man in a suit and leather shoes was holding the design left by her mother. The ancestral craftsman tattoos on his wrists and the collapsed mortise and tenon structure equally shocked her. The century-old house is a living history book, and every crack speaks. Frequent strange accidents during the restoration process put the two people deeper and deeper between the surveyor and the ink line - the moth-eaten beams hide the past of the craftsman's betrayal, the faded ridges are secretly engraved with the tampered construction code, and the hibiscus flower birthmark between Su Wan's collarbone actually combines with Gu Chengzhou's ancestral tattoos to form a complete "Construction Method" constellation diagram. When the restoration entered the most critical stage, the collapse of the Yuedong Gate that led to the death of Su Wan's mother twenty years ago happened again. In the dusty cellar of the teahouse, the yellowed "Craftsman's Book" reveals a shocking truth: It turns out that what is intertwined is not only their heartbeats trapped in the rainy night, but also the fate of two generations severed by clan ethics. This is a game-breaking journey using ancient buildings as a carrier. The ink line bounced off the decayed old system, and the spirit level measured the distance between hearts. When Su Wan applied the last traditional fish bladder glue to the tenon carved by Gu Chengzhou himself, they finally understood: some fits do not require a tight fit, just like the best repair is not to restore it to the original, but to allow new growth rings to grow in the scar.
