When Xi Yin was twelve years old, her father died in the line of duty.
That same night, a voice sounded in her mind:
"Items are broken, but they can still be repaired. People's hearts are broken - the same is true."
That's the dynasty. A thousand-year-old soul, a symbiosis of the Xi clan's contract.
He taught her how to restore cultural relics and gave her the wisdom of measuring time. In seventeen years, he never said a word of comfort.
He's just... There.
She thought this was what her life would be like——
Symbiosis with thousands of years of ancient souls, repairing the cracks of time for the ancients.
Until she met Zheng Xuyou deep in the ruins.
He handed her a bottle of body temperature water and said, "The hands that repair cultural relics are also the hands that save people. Don't let it go to waste."
For the first time, she discovered that fireworks in the world can also burn people.
Chao Zhi said: "This man is as stable as a rock. He cannot be shaken by huge waves or eroded by time."
He paused.
"——Trustworthy."
The contract points to a seal that has not been completed for thousands of years.
The jade ring "guards the heart" and can be like a knife picking out bones when the silk is broken.
And she has to choose the complete him between the two hostages.
Xi Yin knew that she was never the one torn apart.
She is the one who has to make the choice.
——For yourself. For him. For seventeen years of silent companionship.
And the person who is still there, waiting for her decision.
