[Cool, ascetic restorer × gentle, refined heir and connoisseur]
He is a national-level cultural relic restorer, with hands steady as stone and a heart cold as thousand-year-old silk.
He is the young master of the century-old Gu family estate, courteous and gentle with everyone, yet never lets anyone cross the line.
The day they first met, he brought in a damaged scroll for restoration.
One bent over the painting, while the other stopped three paces away.
One asked nothing, and the other said nothing.
Yet with every snack delivered “on the way,” every cup of white tea served at just the right temperature, and every umbrella tilted toward him beside the river on a freezing night, a heart quietly began to stir.
Everyone said Shen Qingchen had no passions or desires.
Until one late night, Gu Yanci received a message containing just two words: Good night.
He smiled at the screen for a long time, then replied:
“The river is too cold. Next time, I’ll stay with you until dawn.”
[Mutual pining + intense push and pull + cool beauty on the receiving end × gentle pursuer]
He spent ten years restoring paintings, but couldn’t mend his own heart once it began to move.
He kept the rules for twenty-nine years, yet willingly broke them for him.
A slow-burn romance between two equally matched leads.
It's really beautiful [I'm almost crying] [I'm almost crying] Both of them are gentle and gentle [I'm almost crying] My friends are also very nice [I'm almost crying]
