Architectural designer Chen Yanben had a good life in Shanghai, but when his father Chen Jiefang suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, he was forced to return to his hometown to take over the mess of "Chen's Woodworking Workshop". Before his father passed into coma, he was working on an order for the "Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" bed. The deposit was 200,000 yuan, and double the amount would be refunded if he defaulted. However, the key design drawings were soaked by heavy rains, and the core carvings and mortise and tenon structure were blurred.
Orders from the workshop were cut off, and the three old masters, whose combined age was over 180, were helpless with the incomplete drawings. They bluntly said that no one except Chen Jiefang could restore them. Although Chen Yan has been familiar with the smell of woodworking since childhood, he has never practiced it and only knows modern architectural design. However, in order to maintain the reputation of his father's lifelong efforts and Chen's woodwork, he was determined to take up the challenge: while exploring the restoration drawings, he learned traditional woodworking techniques from the old master, and in the remaining two months, he had to complete this bed that carries the roots of his family.
