Nine years ago, Shen Zhiwei left the Shen family and Gu Chengan.
After that, she changed her name to "Lin Wei" and became a restorer of paper cultural relics.
She has a stable job and her own life, and she has long been accustomed to never looking back.
Until a badly burned old book was delivered to her workbench.
She found an old patch on the page that shouldn't be there.
The last person who handled it nine years ago was her mother.
In order to find out what happened to this old book, Shen Zhiwei had to re-touch the past that he had left nine years ago.
Also met Gu Chengan again.
After not seeing each other for three years, they still know where each other will stop when they reach out their hands, and they know what the other half of a sentence is after the other half.
It's just that the clearer you remember some things, the harder it is to treat them as if they never happened.
Once upon a time, Gu Chengan thought that loving someone meant blocking those things she "didn't need to know" for her.
Later, Shen Zhiwei understood——
What she really couldn't accept was never that he failed to protect her.
But he once decided for her what she should know and what she should lose.
A burnt ancient book, a truncated nine-year old story.
This time, it wasn't just paper that she wanted to repair with her own hands. And what Gu Chengan needs to learn is not how to protect her again.
How to give her the choice back.
Purpose: True reconstruction is to regain the right to choose.
