Shen Qingxian, a talented woman from the Ming Dynasty, crashes into modern times and falls into the life of Lu Zhaoyu, an ancient book restorer.
She has the ancient charm of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she cannot recognize the microwave oven; she has the ingenuity of restoring ancient books, but she is amazed by her fine brushwork.
From the rush of learning how to use electrical appliances to the undercurrent of heartbeats and night conversations, the ancient rituals and dogmas cannot trap the care that quietly grows, and the gap of time cannot hide the tenderness in the eyes.
The unintentional ripples of others finally made the two of them see clearly: the so-called destination is just having you by their side.
A slow-burning time hidden in the fragrance of ink is waiting for you to enjoy.
