In the old city of Yunzhou, the lanes run deep between blue-gray stone walls. He was once a promising young architect fresh out of a top university. Now he spends his days drinking in an old house on Wangshu Road.
After a misunderstanding drove the woman he loved away, he became trapped in the past. His dream of designing buildings lay in ruins, and he spent every day with empty bottles for company, behind on rent and with no future in sight.
Then one night, drunk, he crossed paths with a girl who sang at a bar, and fate quietly began to turn.
He could awaken the design inspiration that had lain dormant, recreate the cityscapes of his memories, and even envision how a building would weather a century after its completion.
Others relied on experience to draft their designs. With every stroke of his pen, he captured a building's soul. Before the plans were even finished, the vision was already alive on the page, bringing the old city's character to life.
While his former classmates ran around chasing commissions, he wielded his pen like a sword. His first design made him famous, and Xitang's "City of Clouds" caused a sensation across the city.
In the end, he will build the utopia he has always dreamed of, a place where every wandering soul can find a home.
