Cultural Relics and Her

A powerful government official and a genius artifact restorer: a slow-burning romance, with feelings kept secret on both sides. The pacing is a little slow at first, but the sweet moments start after Chapter 50. Please be patient and savor it!

She never imagined that the “big brother” who had protected her since childhood would forcefully barge back into her life like this.

Even less did she imagine that her dependence on him would quietly change, transforming from sibling affection into a restrained yet burning love between a man and a woman.

Twenty years later, Song Chengchuan returned.

He was Qingxi’s most promising son, now entrusted with the development of the entire province. Steady, decisive, and immensely powerful, he chose the desperate moment when Qingxi Museum was on the verge of being shut down to publicly acknowledge her.

Wen Yunshu and the other staff were doing their best to keep Qingxi Museum running, despite outdated equipment, a lack of funding, and no online following. To revitalize it, they had to keep up with the times. Gritting her teeth, she started livestreaming the restoration of a Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase. A video crowdfunding for the museum’s cafeteria went viral overnight, and the hashtags #SaveQingxiMuseum and #A Shared Memory for the People of Qingxi topped the trending charts. Her identity as Elder Li’s last apprentice and a genius restorer was also revealed...

Song Chengchuan was born to lead, and he was also the most fiercely devoted of protectors.

He guided her step by step as she slowly grew;

he guarded his domain, and above all, he guarded her.

“Xiao Yun, I don’t want to be your brother.”

Late at night, he held her captive in his arms, his kisses both restrained and feverish, his voice low and burning:

“I want to be the man you can rightfully depend on, to protect you for life and love you forever.”

She wanted to preserve the years held within the artifacts. He wanted to protect the rest of her life.
