Chen Yu, an urban image restorer, has been the tombkeeper of Ningzhou's memory for eight years. He hides in the darkroom and is trapped in the love that ended in vain eight years ago.
He thought it was his junior sister Su Qing who betrayed her ideals and love for the sake of her future. Until the Huaianli Old Town Renewal Project was launched, he reunited with Su Qing, who was already a top urban renewal planner in the industry.
One wants to preserve the city's past, and the other wants to explore the city's future. The two people who are naturally opposed to each other are forced to be deeply bound because of the project. From the dusty image fragments, Chen Yu pieced together the truth about the breakup, only to realize that his eight years of resentment were all guilt and regret.
This is an adult love story unfolded from a male perspective. It reveals the regret of falling in love but missing out, as well as the belated understanding and reconciliation.
Purpose: The work focuses on the ideals and love dilemmas of adults, telling the story of the male and female protagonists completing their self-growth and reconciliation with the past in the midst of misses and reunions, exploring the balance between urban development and humanistic memory, explaining that regret is not the end of love, understanding and cherishing is the core of love, and conveying a gentle and firm attitude towards life.
