Yan Tingyu, a landscape designer, takes on a design commission. The client wants a Chinese-style garden with hills and water.
Short on inspiration, Yan Tingyu decides to visit Sucheng in Jiangnan, a city steeped in classical charm, to gather ideas.
By a twist of fate, Yan Tingyu ends up staying at Pei Wenqing's private garden. Boss Pei looks unbelievably handsome in ancient clothing. Though young, he seems like an old fossil, speaking and behaving as if he had transmigrated from ancient times.
At night, Yan Tingyu often dreams of wearing ancient clothes, hearing people call him "Heir," and the floral bells at Pei Wenqing's waist.
Strange, surreal scenes flicker into view. He even dreams that someone is holding him while he drives a dagger into the heart of the person before him.
Yan Tingyu wakes with a start and moves to a different guesthouse the next day.
Pei Wenqing comes to the new place to drag him back. "Didn't you say you wanted to stay in the garden for inspiration? Why did you run?"
Yan Tingyu: "I know this sounds harsh, but is there something haunted in your house?"
Pei Wenqing can't deny it. He has those dreams too.
Taking advantage of the situation, Pei Wenqing says, "Right? Then I'll find you somewhere else to stay."
Yan Tingyu: "???"
At their new home in the city center, Yan Tingyu finally feels like Pei Wenqing is a modern man. But how can just changing places and clothes make him seem like a completely different person?
At the garden, he was restrained and proper, treating others with courtesy. Here, he even says sweet things and shamelessly flirts! It's terrifying!
Wait.
Why is he saying sweet things?!
P.S.
1. Pei Wenqing (top) x Yan Tingyu (bottom), both are each other's first and only, no switching.
2. A tragic romance in their past life, a gentle, steady love in this one.
3. The story is told from the bottom's perspective, but both love each other to death. The couple loved each other in their past life, love each other in this one, and will love each other in their next life.
Theme: Let go of the past and become a better version of yourself.
