[Grounded Healing Romance + Urban Top-Tier Star x Mountain Inn Owner + Age Gap + Mutual Restraint]
[Broken Award-Winning Actress x Rugged Guardian of a Tibetan Village]
Everyone in show business knew Wen Mengyun was a top-tier star who had won award after award.
She had played out every love, hatred, and parting under the sun, pouring her characters' joys and sorrows into her very bones, yet she was trapped in her roles and couldn't escape.
For three whole months, she hadn't managed a single full night's sleep.
No one knew that she had abandoned her much-admired career and quietly traveled west, hiding in an inn among the highland mountains, all to find a trace of Tibetan incense that might finally help her sleep.
The day they first met, Ling Song, owner of the Songjian Inn, looked up at her. Faced with Wen Mengyun's forceful demands, he said coldly, "If this lady doesn't intend to stay, show her out."
Wen Mengyun had only planned to stay briefly, take what she wanted, and leave without looking back.
But the bonfires, the winds sweeping through the mountains, the prayer flags and Tibetan cypresses, and this man with a story etched into his face gradually awakened her desire to stay.
Ling Song cherished this hard-won feeling, yet he remained clear-headed.
The chains of the city still bound her, and the clamor would eventually find its way to the mountains. In the end, she did not belong to this grassland.
Others saw only the starlight that surrounded her and the crowds who adored her.
Only Ling Song could see the broken woman beneath her glamorous exterior.
Her stubborn, incurable insomnia finally surrendered to the mountains of Qingzhou and a lingering trace of Tibetan incense.
A journey in search of incense, a mutual journey of healing. Together in the mountains, they untied the knots in their hearts and rekindled the extinguished art of incense-making, letting it burn anew in the evening breeze.
[The mountain never asks where the clouds have come from. I will never ask where you are going.]
