Synopsis
Dan Yanqiu is the shopkeeper of "Shise Zhai" in Beijing, and he is also the most famous restorer of ancient paintings. Fragments of scrolls and broken silk can be brought back to life in her hands; under mildew stains and water stains, she can make the former color shine again. No one knows that she also has a secret skill - when her fingertips touch old paint, she can "see" the painter's memories sealed in the brushstrokes. That was her "lust", and it was also her loneliness that she couldn't express to others. Xi Zhaoye was the dandy prince of the family of the Minister of Hubu. Fighting cockfighting lackeys and spending huge sums of money are romantic debts that the ladies of the capital avoid. He is also the master of the Shadow Pavilion, holding the secret stakes in the world and planning a ten-year chess game. He is looking for a painting, a lost paint, and even more, a person who can "see" the secrets in the painting. A broken "Remnant of Embers" tied the two people together. The secrets of the previous court, the "Sunset Molten Gold" that has been lost for hundreds of years, the dragon vein hidden map that can subvert the government... All clues are hidden under the mildew and knife marks, and hidden in lies covered by layers of mineral pigments. Pei Jingzhi wants her to die, and the old party wants her to shut up, but she only wants the truth - who poisoned her father's paint ten years ago? Xi Zhaoye said, "Do you want to cooperate? I will provide you with information and you will provide me with skills." Dan Yanqiu said: "Yes. But I will not be a chess piece, a vassal, let alone your confidante." "What to do?" "Be your opponent," she lowered her eyes to adjust her tone, her voice as light as the rain outside the window, "and be your game-breaker." Reading Guide 1. The heroine is a career-type worker, an ancient intangible cultural heritage worker, has slight supernatural powers (can "see" painting memories through paint), is neither reborn nor time-traveled, and has a local growth system. 2. The male protagonist appears to be a playboy, but is actually an intelligence chief. The two strong forces join forces, and the emotional line is slow and refreshing, without industrial saccharine. 3. The restoration of ancient paintings and the knowledge of mineral pigments are as researched as possible, and the suspenseful plot lines are intertwined with the intangible cultural heritage lines, HE. Purpose: Using the restoration skills of intangible cultural heritage paintings as a carrier, it tells the story of the female protagonist who adheres to professional ethics and inner justice in the process of pursuing the truth, and joins hands with the male protagonist to protect the secrets of her family and country; conveys the belief that "the inheritance of skills is immortal, truth and justice will eventually emerge", and demonstrates the value pursuit of ancient women with professional abilities and independent personalities.
