Su Nian is a quiet girl who runs a second-hand bookstore in the old city. Her days are like words on the pages of a book, plain but with warmth hidden inside. Until that rainy day, Lu Chen, soaked and injured, broke into her bookstore, pressed a muddy dagger against her waist, and said in a hoarse voice: "Borrow a place to hide."
She thought it was just an unexpected encounter, but she never thought that this man with cold eyes and thorns all over his body would stay in the attic of her bookstore. He was taciturn, but would calmly break the other person's wrist when she was being harassed by gangsters; would silently cook a bowl of hot ginger soup when she stayed up late sorting out old books; and would hand her a note saying "I'm here" when she was in a daze looking at the yellowed old photos.
