Su Qinghe, a top modern-day antiques restorer, is transported through time by a resonance with a Tang-dynasty gilt-silver sachet. She awakens in the Great Yin dynasty as Shen Weiwan, a collateral-branch daughter of the Shen family, who are forcing her to enter the palace selection.
No System, no pocket dimension, and no golden finger for household intrigue. Relying solely on her exceptional restoration skills, she pawns her jade pendant to open a tiny antiques restoration shop. As she painstakingly restores ordinary people's old treasures, she unexpectedly uncovers clues to the theft of antiques from Yong'an Palace ten years ago.
The damaged calligraphy and paintings she restores conceal encrypted patterns. The Yong'an silverware she repairs bears secret palace inscriptions. And Xie Jingxing, the gentle, refined editor at the imperial painting and calligraphy academy who often stops by her shop, is hiding an identity of his own: he is the orphan of a victim in the old wrongful case, and is secretly investigating who was behind the theft.
Antiques bring them together, and a secret case draws them onward. She uses her restoration skills to solve age-old mysteries, while he uses his quiet wisdom to protect the vast realm. From cautious cooperation to standing together through danger and finding redemption, political undercurrents surge and the secrets of the antiques come to light. At last, in Chang'an bathed in golden splendor, they use their craft to guard their hearts and ancient treasures to secure a lifetime together.
This time, she restores more than damaged antiques: she mends a life knocked off course by fate. With the one she loves by her side, she will protect precious relics and share a lifetime of peace in Chang'an.
