When ancient building restorer Ye Zhenzhen's fingertips touched the love letter that had been hidden among the beams for nearly a century, a pursuit that spanned time and space began.
"Dear stranger, if you read this letter, please find the secret under the third rafter on the beam..." On the yellowed letterhead from 1923, there was a graceful signature of "I will always love you Mei". What's even weirder is that whenever Ye Zhenzhen reads this letter, she will dream of a woman wearing a cheongsam looking back in the firelight - until she finds an antique mirror in the basement of the old house, which can allow her to briefly travel to Mei's world.
As the investigation deepens, love mysteries from three time and space are gradually intertwined: in 1923, behind the forbidden love between bank clerk Zhou Mingyuan and wealthy girl Mei, lies a secret related to the success or failure of the revolution; in 1983, the relationship between Ye Zhenzhen's father and The girls from the Department of Archeology bonded and separated because of this old house; and now, Ye Zhenzhen and Shen Mo, a cultural relics expert who always likes to criticize, have to join forces to fight against the developer Mr. Wang who wants to demolish it - he actually holds the other half of the final letter left by Mei.
When the letters from the three eras were finally put together, Ye Zhenzhen witnessed Mei's final choice in the mirror: it was not suicide for love, but a carefully designed protection. And buried in the beams of the old house for hundreds of years is a list that can rewrite history...
