Under the green tiles and hanging flowers in Xuannan Ancient Street, the obsessions and unfinished wishes of two generations are hidden.
Shen Yanci, the cold and paranoid chief engineer of the digitalization of ancient buildings, uses laser scanning and BIM modeling as his blades, vowing to preserve the elegance of the wooden structure that has been eroded by time - just to make up for the regret that his old house was demolished when he was a boy. Su Qingyan, a bright and fierce cultural heritage protection lawyer, uses her words and legal provisions as a shield to protect the dignity of ancient buildings - originating from her grandfather's last wish to restore the ancestral hall.
The bulldozers of local giants are approaching this complex of Ming and Qing guild halls, and technology and law unexpectedly form an alliance. The dark marks of the brackets under laser scanning, the inscriptions of the guild hall hidden in the wall, the evidence game in the court, and the ingenuity of the wooden structure restoration. In the life-and-death battle between demolition and preservation, they not only have to fight against the conspiracy of capital, but also balance the expectations of residents and the problem of revitalizing ancient buildings.
There is no suspended love, only the tacit understanding of fighting side by side; not only the protection of cultural relics, but also the belief in the continuity of cultural heritage. Under the hanging flower gate, data and pen and ink coexist, and original intention and ingenuity resonate - this battle to protect ancient buildings will eventually allow the sleeping bricks to regain their splendor of the times.
