As a seamstress who stitches souls to bodies, Shi Qi follows a family rule passed down through generations. The mulberry-white thread she makes herself can not only sew flesh back together, but also restore souls and send them home.
After transmigrating into the past, Shi Qi, a modern-day seamstress, searches for a way back to the present while diligently stitching corpses to earn silver and make a living. Unfortunately, murders are frequent in Songcheng, and the dead are all found mysteriously dismembered. Panic and rumors soon spread through the city. Shi Qi sticks to her work, stitching corpses as she always has, but unexpectedly gets to know Xun Mu, who has been ordered to investigate the cases.
As the prefect, Xun Mu is decisive and swift in his work and investigations, so he naturally crosses paths with Shi Qi, who helps stitch the bodies. As they spend more time together, Shi Qi discovers that beneath his imposing exterior, he's surprisingly clumsy. And while everyone else avoids her, he treats her differently. Before long, they grow closer.
Then Xun Mu makes his feelings clear, and their relationship naturally takes another step forward.
Shi Qi has stitched up thousands of corpses and restored many broken souls. Her hands are as steady as a mountain. But she never imagined that one day she would have to stitch together the body of the person she loves...
Shi Qi: "This is... truly a terrible mess."
A seemingly aloof and cold seamstress who is actually kind and warmhearted x a decisive prefect in public, but awkwardly direct in private

Title: Dream Painter's Notes
This is a rebirth story told in episodic arcs, about someone who makes a living by painting dreams to heal people with regrets.
Blurb:
After Jiang Qu is reborn and loses her memories, she becomes a dream painter. Her profession is rare and misunderstood, so business is especially hard to come by. She has to be warm and patient with her clients, which means that when Tang Yanzhi launches into one of his long-winded speeches, she can only put on a professional smile while inwardly feeling like she's caught between fire and ice.
That Mr. Tang, mocked as having been pickled in books, is handsome and a high-ranking official. He always speaks in flowery, literary language, like an annoying know-it-all who knows nothing about romance. Yet he can bring her patience to the verge of collapse in just three sentences.
When Tang Yanzhi discovers that this newcomer, the only person who can put up with his endless chatter, has the same disguise as an old friend: a warm heart hidden beneath a cool exterior and few words;
When Jiang Qu realizes that this high-ranking official's frequent visits are really meant to verify her identity...
Then one day, fragments of their past lives suddenly appear in the dreams she paints. It turns out that their encounter, in which each of them pretends to be someone else, was fated by destiny.
One day:
Tang Yanzhi: "It's rare to meet a young lady who can tolerate someone as talkative as me."
Jiang Qu (thinking): Thanks for asking. I'm actually just pretending.
[Putting on a stiff, bookish, unromantic act vs. Truly cool, quiet, and clueless about love]
