Su Muqing was a renowned professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in her previous life. Then, in an instant, she returned to 1997, when she was a sophomore at the Kyoto Academy of Fine Arts.
In her previous life, someone stole her paintings and she trusted the wrong person, leaving her scarred. Given a second chance at life, she held tight to her paintbrush and her expertise in restoring classical paintings and appraising antiques and cultural relics, determined to take control of her own fate.
When a scandal erupted at an art exhibition, she exposed Song Jingyao's scheme to exhibit a stolen painting in front of everyone and broke off her engagement to Xie Zi'ang.
At the antique market, she unexpectedly found a blue-glazed stem cup from the Ming dynasty. By a twist of fate, she became a student of the renowned antique expert Chen Danqing. She devoted herself to preparing a major painting and calligraphy exhibition for a prime-time slot, making a name for herself.
Tang Haoze was reserved and gentle, always waiting patiently for her despite the difference in their family backgrounds.
Lively and quick-witted Tang Haoran became her number-one wingman, while easygoing Song Jingchen stood by her side.
Her former fiancé, Xie Zi'ang, realized too late and kept showing up to pester her, convinced that she was only acting out of spite and jealousy. The seemingly virtuous prodigy Song Jingyao hid her envy and kept looking for chances to make trouble.
She would rely on no one. With her own abilities, she would shine brilliantly.
