Shen Yan, an ancient books researcher, is a well-known "living dictionary" in the academic world. He is rigid and rigorous. His only motto in life is "ancient books are the most important thing." The Ancient Books Department of the Centennial Library is his exclusive world.
Attendant Jiang Xubai broke into this quiet place with his casualness and solitary courage, and his obsession with old books. He loves poetry, knows books, can smooth the wrinkles of ancient books with his fingertips, and has an unknown tenderness and stubbornness hidden in his eyes.
During a heavy rainstorm, two parallel lines unexpectedly intersected in a solitary copy of "Inscriptions on the Records of Jinshi". From the tit-for-tat confrontation in the borrowing area, to the academic collision in the classroom, to the tacit partnership in the ancient book restoration room, Mo Xiang has become their longest bond.
Shen Yan's cold and hard shell was quietly melted by Jiang Xubai's purity and enthusiasm; Jiang Xubai's wandering soul found a home in Shen Yan's composure and protection. They explore the truth among the pages of the book, and develop feelings in the fragrance of ink, from reading side by side in the library late at night, to hunting for treasures in the used book market, from supporting each other in academic disputes, to staying firmly together under the eyes of the world.
This is a love that begins with books and is true to the heart - when a cold ancient book researcher meets a passionate book-loving boy, when rigidity meets spontaneity, when loneliness meets warmth, all the restraints and temptations are turned into the warmest fire in the years between the pages of the book, illuminating the rest of each other's lives.
