Su Qingyuan is the youngest antique-book restorer in the business. With a touch of her fingers, she can bring thousand-year-old manuscripts back to life, but she can’t handle the domineering CEO Lu Shiyan who suddenly barges into hers.
He’s a business tycoon who can turn the tides with a flick of his hand, yet he insists on hanging around her restoration studio for an absurd reason: “Watching you restore ancient books is a real appetite-stimulant.”
At first, she thinks he’s a nuisance. “Mr. Lu, ink is expensive. Don’t touch my original manuscripts!”
Later, he shields her, glaring at the troublemakers. “You dare lay a hand on someone who belongs to me, Lu Shiyan?”
And later still, she discovers that this seemingly cold man secretly learns restoration techniques to help lighten her workload, quietly warms milk for her when she works late, and even takes a steel pipe blow head-on to protect her precious old books.
Restoring ancient books takes patience, but the heart can be moved in a single moment. He clumsily uses a newly learned stitching technique to treat the finger she cut on a sheet of paper, his eyes unable to hide his worry.
“Lu Shiyan, do you like me?”
The tips of his ears turn bright red, though he tries to stay calm. “Yes. I started falling for you a long time ago, when you were bent over restoring that copy of the Nanhua Scripture.”
Restoring ancient books is a way of speaking with the past. Falling in love with you is the present I most want to cherish.
A unique and fresh novel about a single heroine. There are too many Tomato harem stories. I'm tired of reading them. I finally found one that's not a harem story. The author should update it quickly. You haven't updated it enough.
