In the pyrotechnic town of Xinghe, Su Xiao, a "detail-oriented" person who has the ultimate pursuit of restoring old objects, runs a small shop called "Light Picking Restoration Room". She can bring new life to damaged ceramics and restore luster to faded fabrics, but she is always at a loss when facing the emotional stories behind old objects. Until one day, a mysterious "story unlocker" Lu Yu breaks in - he can always capture the emotional fragments buried by time from the restored old objects, and restore each warm and healing story.
From an old diary full of love words but with missing pages, to a kerosene lamp that carries the memories of grandparents and grandchildren, to a worn ring that witnesses a long-distance love race, the two work together to repair not only the physical scars of the old things, but also the regrets and longings hidden in time. Under the influence of Lu Yu, Su Xiao gradually understands that the value of old things lies not only in their "completeness", but also in the emotions they carry; Lu Yu is also working with Su Xiao, slowly opening up the heart that has been closed due to past experiences.
