Su Qinghe is the youngest restorer of ancient books in the industry. His fingertips can hold the dust of thousands of years of old books, but he cannot hold on to a relationship that is not favored by the world. In order to protect the "Chengxin Pavilion" left by her master, she was forced to accept a special commission - to restore the manuscripts of the Republic of China architect Lu Jingnian. The client was Shen Yanci, the founder of "Xingqiong Design Office" who included Lu's old house in the renovation plan.
Shen Yanci is a proud man in the architectural world, known for his cold determination and pursuit of ultimate efficiency. In his design philosophy, there are no "irreplaceable" old things, only innovations that "fit the times." When they first met, Su Qinghe refused to digitally scan the manuscript in order to protect it, while Shen Yanci insisted on giving priority to efficiency in order to promote the project. The two were in tit-for-tat opposition and regarded each other as a "traditional die-hard" and a "modern utilitarian".
However, during the process of restoring the handwritten notes, Su Qinghe understood Lu Jinnian's sincerity towards architecture and tenderness towards his lover from the faded handwriting, and also glimpsed Shen Yanci's secret hidden beneath his indifference - he was a descendant of Lu Jinnian, and the renovation of the old house was not for commercial gain, but to fulfill his grandfather's unfinished wish and make up for family regrets. Shen Yanci saw in Su Qinghe's focus on repairing the purity and perseverance that he had long lost. Her patience in dealing with the fragments was like a good medicine to heal his childhood trauma.
When the renovation of an old house faced capital pressure, and when the restoration of ancient books faced technical disputes, two people who originally stood on opposite sides of "tradition and modernity" began to fight side by side. Su Qinghe used construction methods from ancient books to inject soul into the architecture, while Shen Yanci used modern technology to protect traditional culture.
