With Nanjing as the background, a story spanning time and culture unfolds around Cheng Yutang and Li Zhixin. Cheng Yutang is the project leader of the Planning Institute, and Li Zhixin is a staff member of the Ancient Building Conservation Research Institute. The two met during the renovation of the Laomendong Historic District. As the project progressed, they had many disagreements and collisions between the protection of historical buildings and the needs of modern development. From the dispute over the protection of the stone pillars of Jiangnan Gongyuan to the conflicts over the renovation of the Republic of China Mansion on Yihe Road, the two continued to work together. At the same time, Cheng Yutang faced difficulties such as his father's serious illness and family financial pressure. Lin Jianshen also had his own hidden pain in life. The past of his father committing suicide due to demolition money prompted him to firmly protect cultural relics. In one incident after another, the two gradually understood each other, and their relationship was quietly warming up. As the story develops, they discover that the Cheng family's old house is inextricably linked to the protection of cultural relics. The Ming city bricks in the well and the construction history recorded in the genealogy have become key evidence for the protection of the old house and the Laomendong area. In the end, after experiencing a series of twists and turns, the Laomendong reconstruction project achieved a balance between protection and development. Cheng Yutang and Li Zhixin also walked hand in hand on the road of protecting history and culture. Their love blossomed in the restoration of cultural relics and urban changes, witnessing the historical inheritance and development of the times in the city of Nanjing.
