Lu Shiyan, the 32-year-old president of Hengzhu Group, is cold on the outside but ascetic on the inside and has hidden sleep disorders, but he is an architectural fanatic who hides old objects and knows how to knit Chinese knots; Su Wei, a 27-year-old restorer at the Provincial Cultural Preservation Center, is cute but sharp, professional and hard-core but slightly socially fearful. As Hengzhu bids for the restoration project of the glazed roof of an ancient temple, Su Wei questions the plan and becomes involved with Lu Shiyan. Later, the Su family falls into a debt crisis. Lu Shiyan proposes a "contract marriage" - to help the Su family pay off its debts, and Su Wei invests in technology to supervise the project.
While living together, warmth gradually grew: Lu Shiyan quietly replaced Su Wei's worn tool bag, and Su Wei left a warm night light for him to help him sleep; in the workplace, Lu Shiyan publicly supported Su Wei who was making things difficult for him. Crisis came one after another, Lu Manni intervened to stir up trouble, framed the collapse of the ancient temple, and fabricated evidence in a commercial trap. From misunderstanding to side by side, the two used restoration skills and resources to find out the truth. They also discovered that the ancestors of the two families were partners in the restoration of the ancient temple, and half of the jade pendants were finally pieced together to form a complete token.
In the end, they not only protected cultural relics and cultural inheritance, Lu Shiyan restored his childhood home and transformed into cultural tourism, and Su Wei founded a benchmark restoration studio. They also moved from contract to true love, and continued the path of cultural protection after marriage, achieving a deep integration of personal growth, emotional fulfillment and cultural inheritance.
Purpose: Taking the restoration of ancient buildings as the core context, we connect the ancestors' inheritance agreement of "co-protecting culture" with the contemporary people's responsibility to fight against commercial erosion and protect cultural relics. It not only uses restoration techniques to heal the psychological trauma of the characters (Lu Shiyan's childhood shadow, Su Wei's trust dilemma), but also uses the emotional line of "contract to true love" to show the two-way journey of "repairing cultural relics means restoring time, protecting culture means protecting each other", and ultimately settles on the deep integration of cultural heritage, personal emotions, and self-growth.
