Two strangers met because of an "accident", from confrontation to temptation, from estrangement to understanding. They discovered that a cultivator and a cultivator were so similar.
Neurosurgeon Cheng Yanning, the youngest deputy chief physician in China, has made zero mistakes on the operating table and is known as a "walking textbook." No one knew that she only slept four hours a day, lived in an unfurnished apartment opposite the hospital, and never participated in any social activities - she was punishing herself with work.
Five years ago, her father died in a fire while trying to save an ancient painting. Three years ago, her fiancé died in the line of duty. She lost the two most important people in her life, and since then she has turned her life into a machine that can only work.
Until that day, she met Shen Jibai at a dialogue event in the museum.
Shen Jibai is a restorer of ancient calligraphy and painting and a national inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. He stayed in the underground restoration room for twelve years and restored hundreds of ancient paintings, but he could not restore himself. Three years ago, his sister had an accident during a phone call he didn't receive. From then on, he locked his heart in the second basement.
They met in the museum lecture hall. One said, "It is more difficult to repair a person than a painting." The other said, "Pain will change a person." Two conversations, two broken souls, saw the same thing in each other's eyes - it was not love, but the same kind of breath.
When Cheng Yanning discovered that Shen Jibai was the brother of the girl she failed to save three years ago; when Shen Jibai discovered that the truth behind Cheng Yanning's trembling hands was far more than just fatigue - they realized that some cracks were not to be filled, but to let light in.
