A single embroidery needle, a box of old works of intangible cultural heritage, and a sudden System binding pull the introverted Lin Nuo into the whirlpool of “cross-dressing livestreams.”
He wears hanfu to perform shadow puppetry, and his voice turns sweet and girlish. He dons a qipao to embroider Suzhou silk, producing work so precise that even veteran artisans praise it. But the closer he gets to fulfilling his grandmother’s wish to pass on her craft, and the more he is moved by Shen Zhixia’s tenderness, the more frightened he becomes: frightened that his secret of “a man dressing as a woman” will be exposed, frightened by the increasingly obvious changes to his body, and even more frightened that his feelings for Shen Zhixia will be shattered by his identity.
As the lights come up for an online intangible cultural heritage gala, he stands before the camera in a custom Suzhou-silk qipao. Looking at Shen Zhixia smiling below the stage, he suddenly wants to ask: If he tells her everything now, will the person who has always supported him choose to leave or stay? And will this transformation ultimately make him a better inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, or turn him into someone even he can no longer recognize?
It feels a little uncomfortable to watch. There's a little twist. And the description of this time is a bit too abstract. When I watched this, it felt like I had just finished one broadcast and started the next one.
This system keeps releasing tasks. It seems like there will be another one immediately after a live broadcast, and it is too weird for the protagonist.
