He suffers from insomnia and she is short of money.
An incredible contract binds the two people:
Lin Chao, a restorer of ancient paintings and calligraphy, can get a reward that can change his destiny just by sitting quietly in the study of architect Lu Mu for three hours every night.

"The symptom of it is – if you can't see you, you can't design the future."
