Xiao Hai, a senior modern furniture and decoration designer, accidentally traveled to Deng Chuyang, a scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty who was rushing to take the exam. When he woke up, he was in a foreign land, combining modern design thinking and ancient scholar's memories.
His biological father, Deng Runzhi, was a carpenter. His lifelong obsession was for his son to give up carving and become a literary scholar and get a title on the gold medal list. However, Deng Chuyang (Jiang Hai) hated officialdom and only wanted to resume his career as a craftsman.
In order to appease his father's heart, he took the exam and deliberately concealed his failure. He then went to the carpentry workshop to innovate traditional furniture with modern concepts:
Create simple and personalized pure handmade furniture, self-developed dyeing vats to make various curtain fabrics, hand-made exquisite modern ornaments, and use literati calligraphy and painting to create a new soft furnishing concept, completely subverting the perception of home furnishings in the Northern Song Dynasty!
As soon as the new furniture came out, it was eagerly sought after by the powerful in Jiangzhou. However, because of his identity as a craftsman, he was despised, ridiculed and despised by the local magistrate.
When life was at a low point, Su Qingwan, the best friend of the magistrate's daughter, had a sharp eye and never left him. She did her best to be by his side and became his most solid support.
He was not afraid of rumors, integrated folk craftsmen, and established the first furniture association in the Northern Song Dynasty. With his unique soft furnishing skills, he was favored by the Minister of Industry. He entered the capital and became famous in the circles of powerful people. He was eventually invited to customize furniture and soft furnishings for the palace, and won the Holy Heart.
From a small carpenter in the countryside to an inventor from the Ministry of Industry, he used his skillful hands to rewrite the status of craftsmen in the Northern Song Dynasty and counterattack in life!
The daughter of the prefect who had despised him in the past regretted it too much, and the beautiful lady who helped him wholeheartedly became his real wife. The three of them stayed together, and their children and grandchildren were around their knees. Their career and love were perfect, creating an eternal story of the craftsman god of the Northern Song Dynasty.
