[Urban Romance, Marriage Before Love] [Intangible Cultural Heritage Restoration] [Light Mystery] [Mutual Healing] [Clear-Headed, Strong Female Lead]
Yu Xingmian is a young but exceptionally talented relic restorer. An old box left behind by her mother draws her into a family case from the past involving the wealthy Shang family. She had only wanted to quietly uncover the truth, but instead finds herself thrust into the eye of the storm: her father is in debt, her studio is on the verge of bankruptcy, and her mother's belongings lead to a disappearance case.
Shang Yanci is the youngest person ever to take charge of the Shang Group. Cool and composed, with an iron will, he needs a marriage to stabilize the family's internal power struggle, and he also needs the old box in Yu Xingmian's possession. So he proposes what seems to be a cold-blooded marriage of convenience.
Yu Xingmian neither begs nor meekly submits. She accepts the arrangement, but sets her own terms: the marriage can be fake, but her career must be real. She will use the marriage to secure resources, rebuild her mother's intangible cultural heritage restoration studio, and uncover the truth about the past.
The two go from testing each other and tying their interests together to standing side by side through one crisis after another. As their investigation deepens, they discover that the old Shang family case, Yu's mother's disappearance, and a relic smuggling network are all intertwined. Shang Yanci seems calm, but years ago he had already seen the little girl clutching an old box on a rainy night.
This is a marriage-before-love story, and a journey of mutual healing. She is not a moonlight-white figure saved by him, but someone who walks out of the fog alongside him.
