#RebornFeelGoodFiction + LawyerWithASecretCrush + AncientBookRestoration
At her engagement banquet, Su Wan watches Gu Yanchen hold his first love in his arms as the guests snicker nearby. It turns out that in her previous life, she spent ten years of her youth only to be treated as “an accessory to the Su family's ancient books.”
The truth about her parents' car accident, the heartbreak of having the ancient books stolen, and her despair in a hospital bed... Reborn with wounds all over her, the first thing she does is tear up the engagement contract and trample Gu Yanchen's hypocrisy underfoot.
“Mr. Gu, ever heard of Article 47 of the Cultural Relics Protection Law? That Song Dynasty woodblock-printed book in your hands now belongs to me.”
She reopens her mother's ancient-book restoration studio. As her bamboo knife flashes between her fingers, she sets out not only to restore a thousand years of cultural heritage, but also to reclaim everything that belongs to her.
But at some point, a man who always seems to be “in the neighborhood” starts appearing by her side.
Shen Zhiyan, a celebrated cultural relics lawyer, has a gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses that's always as gentle as water.
He shields her from Gu Yanchen's harassment, then hands her a mung bean cake when she thanks him. “You always said this shop made the best ones in high school.”
He helps her recover stolen ancient books, then pulls allergy medicine from his briefcase. “I remember you're sensitive to mangoes.”
Then she finds a tin box in his drawer. Inside are her eraser from middle school, her hair tie from high school, and a faded movie ticket stub. On the back, someone has written: “In her white dress, she looked like moonlight stepping out of an ancient book.”
One stormy night, Shen Zhiyan holds her close and says in a voice as deep as a cello, “Wanwan, I've waited ten years for you. This time, let me be the one to come to you, all right?”
