She is Su Yan, a romantic and stubborn ancient book restoration volunteer. When she first entered the exhibition hall, she just wanted to quietly browse through the traces of time among the paper and ink; he is Shen Jinmo, a calm and self-possessed young collection consultant. After returning to China, he persisted in his restoration philosophy despite numerous academic barriers.
An unexpected encounter, she broke into his tea room, and he bandaged her wounds. From misunderstanding to heartbreak, they slowly got closer between the lights and the fragrance of tea. She secretly imitated his writing posture, and he held an umbrella for her in the rain, hiding tenderness in daily details. He was silent but gentle, she was reserved but stubborn, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed as they walked side by side again and again.
But the relationship is not all smooth sailing - she was hinted to "rely on relationships" in the project team, and he was speechless in the face of past emotional trauma. She tried to withdraw, but he left her behind with a handwritten note. From looking at each other late at night in the library, to hugging each other for warmth on rainy nights, from testing each other through misunderstandings, to slowly opening their hearts, they experienced silence, restraint, temptation and proximity together, rising and falling in the warmth of emotion.
Behind the scenes, there are multiple clues intertwined with workplace undercurrents, academic suppression, memories of the past, and friendship support. They fell in love between paper and ink, and fell in love with each other in their character.
This is a story about the fragrance of tea and old paper, restraint and passion, gentle tugging but finally running for it. Love is like spring water, desire is like dark flame, quietly igniting in the protection and response day after day.
Purpose: Learn to love through restraint, persist in yourself in difficulties
