Wen Jingci is a cultural relic restorer. Her world is composed of countless broken "pasts". She can perfectly repair the porcelain that carries a hundred years of loneliness, but she cannot patch up the gaps in her own emotions.
Fu Yanshen is a genius in the field of architecture. His works are cold geometric poems that are precise and rational, without a trace of human touch. He can build a magnificent city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but he can't keep a single face in his memory. He suffers from severe prosopagnosia, and the world to him is an isolated island composed of countless blurry silhouettes.
An agreement, a marriage where each takes what he wants, binds two people living in "fragments" together.
She thought it was just a quiet collaboration, with her repairing her artifacts and him building his world without disturbing each other.
He thought this was just a compromise with the family, a fixed "roommate" who didn't need to be remembered by his face.
However, the smell of kiln mud on her fingertips became the only coordinate for him to identify her; when the light in his study room late at night became her place of peace of mind when she returned home.
In this faceless love, he began to "see" her in an unprecedented way - her gait, her voice, her focused silhouette when repairing cultural relics, all became a unique "structural map" in his mind.
And for the first time, she felt the "carefully designed" tenderness in a man's world.
It turns out that love has nothing to do with appearance.
