Ruan Nian, a freelance illustrator who fell out of love and was in a desperate situation, fled the big city with exhaustion and returned to the old Wanqingju in Wuzhen left by his grandmother. She thought this place was just a haven for healing, but on a rainy night, she accidentally bumped into Shen Shiyan, the ancient book restorer next door who was silent and almost indifferent due to a water leak.
He is as gentle as jade, but he stays behind closed doors all year round, guarding a room of old books and sealing his heart in the accident where he lost his beloved three years ago. Separated by a wall, two people with scars met unexpectedly in the slow time of the water town.
Ruan Nian picked up the paintbrush in her grandmother's sunflower field and old diary, painting a gloomy life with warmth bit by bit; Shen Shiyan gradually shed the frozen shell in her freshness and softness. He silently repaired the table, delivered fertilizer, and kept vigil for her. She quietly illuminated his long-silent world with her smile and tenderness.
But the entanglement of the ex's return, the pull of the past pain, and the timidity of not loving again made the two get closer and retreat again and again. It wasn't until the fireworks of the Wuzhen Flower Festival went up that he finally let go of his obsession and confessed all his silence and affection to her.
It turns out that the best healing is never forgetting the past, but facing the sun again with scars; the best love is when you come with light, and I am willing to open my heart - to redeem each other, to warm each other, like sunflowers, always facing the light, and grow old together for a lifetime.
This two-way healing love in the Jiangnan water town is quietly waiting for you to unfold.
