Wen Qie is a curator who lives like a "boiled egg", with a smooth and tight outer shell, but a closed and hard heart due to the frustration of his previous marriage. She was used to restraining herself in everything, until she moved and met Qin Rang, her neighbor who repaired cultural relics across the door.
When they first met, he was a laid-back man with a colorful shirt and peach blossom eyes, and even called his cat "Leader"; after getting along, Wen Qie discovered that there was an ultimate sense of order hidden in his minimalist apartment, and his concentration when repairing ancient porcelain seemed to tell her that this man had a story.
From the awkward first meeting in the elevator, to the feeding of a bowl of ginger duck late at night; from the cup of "full sugar coffee" handed to her by Qin Rang that broke her taste barrier, to Wen Qie, with Qin Rang's encouragement and the pressure of her ex-husband (currently deputy director), against all opinions to plan a cultural exhibition that shocked the industry.
Qin Rang said: "The gold repair is not to cover up the cracks, but to make it become part of the story."
In this game of repair and reconstruction, Wen Ju finally understands that love does not need to be tense all the time, nor does it need to be afraid of being broken.
"Gentle, wait a moment, don't leave, stay a little longer."
Purpose: This work is not only a love novel, but also a growth history about "how modern women find themselves". In a fast-paced real society full of discipline and judgment, the work explores how individuals resist external negation (such as pressure from bosses and the shadow of the past) and how to establish inner order in their specific lives and passionate careers. The love between the male and female protagonists is the mutual recognition of two independent souls in the noisy world, conveying the modern feminist value of "love is not attachment, but two imperfect people standing side by side."
