[Antique Restorer VS Scheming God of War | Marriage First, Love Later | Stand-In's Rise]
Shen Qinghe, a nationally renowned antique restorer, transmigrates into the body of a mistreated concubine-born daughter in a marquis's household. With her mastery of the art of kintsugi, she turns broken things into legends. Leaving the inner chambers for the imperial palace, she becomes the curator in charge of the "Pavilion of Time." To avoid an arranged marriage, Prince Pei Jin of the North seeks her out. "How about a deal? You act as my shield, and I'll back you up."
Shen Qinghe signs without hesitation. She only wants to build her career and earn a little "stand-in fee" on the side. Until one day, she discovers that the woman he holds dear has plenty of suspicious details, while the earth-shattering conspiracy they are investigating together quietly points toward an ultimate secret capable of shaking time and space... When their contract expires, Pei Jin blocks her at the door and asks in a hoarse voice, "The contract is void. When will you mend my heart?"
