The world of ancient book restorer Shen Yanci completely collapsed on that rainy day three years ago.
He once thought that he could spend his whole life hand in hand with his lover Su Wan. From the joy of setting the wedding date, to the sudden diagnosis of acute leukemia, to her taking her last breath in her arms, in just three months, fate dragged him from the top of happiness to the abyss.
Now thirty-five years old, he is like a cancer curled up in its shell, trapping himself in an old house and ancient book studio full of memories. The oxidized silver watch on his wrist, the history books arranged by dynasty on the bookshelf, the expired yogurt that repeatedly appeared in the refrigerator, and even the "Ten Years of Life and Death" accidentally glimpsed when repairing ancient books, every detail reminded him of the pain of loss. He built a high wall with silence, numbed his nerves with work, and left all his tenderness to the memories related to Su Wan, but never dared to touch new feelings again.
Until one day, a girl with a sunny atmosphere broke into his life. She might be a visitor who walked into his studio by mistake, she might be a new neighbor next door, or she might be the daughter of an old friend who helped him sort out Su Wan's belongings. She was like a glimmer of light, inadvertently illuminating Shen Yanci's gloomy world and touching the wounds buried deep in his heart.
This is a story about love, loss and redemption. When the affectionate Cancer trapped in memories meets the redeemer who comes with light, can they get out of the abyss together and let the belated love warm each other in the years to come?
