Su Qingyue, an ancient book restorer who lives in hiding in the market, spent ten years in dialogue with the dusty history. His hands can bring new life to broken pieces of paper; his soul seems to be able to absorb the wisdom accumulated in ancient scrolls for thousands of years.
When the restoration studio where he worked closed down due to a lack of funds, this craftsman who was accustomed to having close relationships with the ancients was forced to enter a strange and new world - the modern media industry.
Here, exaggerated creativity is regarded as the norm, fast-food cultural products are popular, and history is wantonly misinterpreted and consumed.
Faced with the contempt of his colleagues, the doubts of his superiors, and the barriers of the industry, Su Qingyue discovered that the ancient books he restored had already built a vast palace of knowledge in his heart.
From an unpopular exhibition that no one cares about, to a cultural IP that has exploded across the country; from a much-criticized bad costume drama, to a masterpiece that is regarded as a classic.
Su Qingyue used his knowledge reserves, which can be called dimensionality reduction attacks, to turn stones into gold and turn decay into magic again and again.
He made the world understand that true popularity is the reincarnation of elegance; top creativity has already been written in the context of history.
This is a story about how "useless learning" became "dragon-slaying art". When the dust of the times tries to cover up the brilliance of civilization, there is always someone who can dust it off and let the starlight reappear.
