Shen Yan: A 28-year-old restorer of ancient books, a cool and elegant beauty with long, straight black hair and delicate glasses. Years of restoring old books have left a thin layer of calluses on her fingers. Reserved and inward, she witnessed her aunt being shunned because of her same-sex relationship as a child, making her extremely cautious about love. She wants to protect the restoration work she loves while breaking free of her inner shackles and building a peaceful life with Lu Ye.
Lu Ye: A 25-year-old freelance illustrator with short hair and a freckled face, usually wearing oversized hoodies. Her smile reveals a pair of canine teeth. Passionate and easygoing, she comes from a traditional family where her parents are distant from each other. Since childhood, she has learned to disguise her sensitivity with optimism. She wants to use her art to capture genuine emotions, protect Shen Yan from harm, and prove that their love is not “abnormal.”
