When Wen Qinghan woke up at Tengchong Station, the world was completely blank. Only the burning heat when her fingertips touch the jade and the old jade pendant with the word "Qinghan" engraved on it are her only connections with the past.
When Lin Jingxing, who was as gentle as jade, was brought back to Suzhou's "Yanqiutang" jade carving workshop, she was like an uncarved rough stone, ignorantly bumping into this world full of patina, carving knives and the fragrance of mortise and tenon joints. The rigid eldest brother Lin Yanzhi always looks at her with a scrutinizing eye, but will silently leave a spare carving knife after she carves out the material; the adventurous third brother Lin Zhiyao takes her to the night market, gambles on rough stones, and breaks the trophy to protect her when she is questioned: "Her aura is worth more than the trophy"; even the younger sister Lin Wanzhao, who was jealous of her at first, has become a "little detective" to help her find her memory.
She has amnesia and hides a secret: she can identify the water of jade by touch, and the patterns she draws unconsciously coincide with the lost "water pattern carvings". She sheds inexplicable tears when she sees the scene of the water town. When the carving knife travels on the jade, broken memories emerge along with the lines - grandma's whispers, the map of the Republic of China, the ripples of Taihu Lake, gradually pieced together the bond between her and the ancestors of Yanqiutang.
The frame-up by her competitors, the unraveling of the mystery of her life experience, and the completely different affections of the three brothers were intertwined in her heart. She carved the "moon mark" out of incomplete jade and pieced together the "returning place" with memory fragments. In the collision of traditional jade carving and modern design, she finally understood that memory loss is not loss, but allows her to rediscover the place of her heart in the jade leakage of time.
From a timid stranger to a dazzling designer, her knife carved the new life of jade and also carved the answers alongside him.
