Cultural relic restorer Shen Qinggui (the eminent monk Xuan Min) x cat cafe owner Lin Miao (the cat demon Liuli)
What he restored with his own hands was my thousand-year-old love letter carved in stone.
After I graduated from college, by chance, I settled under an ancient temple in the mountains and opened a cat cafe.
There is a dilapidated stone mural in the temple. Tourists marvel at the "unparalleled love between the eminent monk and the cat demon".
Only I know that story is wrong.
——Because every time I get close, the birthmark on my heart hurts so much that it feels like it's about to burst.
Until the cultural relic restorer named Shen Qinggui appeared.
The temple asked him to restore the mural.
He stood under the scaffolding and scanned every scratch with professional equipment.
Little did he know that every time he chipped away at a layer of hypocrisy covered by later generations, it was like he was uncovering a layer of scabbed scars on me.
He frowned at the phone: "It's strange, the underlying emotion... Is full of despair."
I stood in the shadows, my nails digging into my palms.
Of course he doesn't know.
That was a thousand-year love letter and curse that I carved with demon bones and blood and tears to the unfaithful person who said "success is over".
Now, the man, who looks exactly like the monk in the painting, is focused on trying to "fix" it.
Outside the temple, those mysterious sights searching for the "immortal true body" have also quietly approached.
Shen Qinggui, you'd better be careful.
You restore more than just artifacts.
What you are awakening is all the love and hate of a black cat who has been trapped for thousands of years, turned into a monster for you and turned into ashes for you.
