On a rainy night in 1978, Hao Ren woke up on a coal mine gangue pile with half a bloody blue and white bowl fragment still clutched in his palm - he was reborn to the night when he failed the college entrance examination, only three hours before his father drowned.
In his previous life, he was a technician who died in a mining accident. He watched Bai Lingbing cry bitterly on the ruins holding the porcelain mold left behind by her mother, and watched the century-old skills of Anyuan porcelain be wiped out. This time, he wants to protect his family and bring his dormant old skills to light.
He collected scrap iron and opened a workshop despite being known as a "speculator", while she hid her identity as the mine director's daughter and used flower and fruit carving skills to recreate the lost glaze color. When the spring breeze of reform blew into Anyuan Town, this pair of young people, who were burdened with family grievances, ignited the kiln fire in the collision of food stamps and foreign exchange coupons, making the peacock blue glaze shine brightly throughout the 1980s.
The wild orchids on the gangue mountain bloomed and faded. They used a kiln of fire to warm up the time they had missed for half their lives.
