Su Wan is the heir to an antique-book restoration studio on the verge of closing. Gentle yet resilient, she tends the old house her grandfather left her and the shelves of vintage books within, like a quiet houseplant in a fast-paced city. Gu Yi is a rising tech entrepreneur. His company, Starpath Technology, is at a crucial stage before its IPO. Decisive and commanding, he unexpectedly stumbles into Su Wan's “slow world.”
A collaboration on restoring an ancient book brings together two people who had nothing in common. Accustomed to efficiency and results, he is drawn to the focus and patience she brings to her work. Used to solitude and peace, she discovers unexpected tenderness and sensitivity beneath his seemingly cold exterior.
The bustle of the city and the quiet of the old lanes, the chill of technology and the warmth of ancient books: through tentative steps toward each other, two people from different worlds gradually come to understand what the other holds dear. When the studio faces the threat of demolition and his company is hit by a crisis of trust, they become each other's strongest support. The evening breeze will eventually meet the morning sun. Though they seem worlds apart, together they can shine with the warmest light.
