In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Lin Yan, an ancient book restorer, accidentally discovered the "Picture of Broken Plum Blossoms on a Snowy Night" in the mezzanine while repairing a Ming Dynasty painting book. When he used the ancestral "pink pen" to complete the cinnabar on the lips of the lady in the painting, the snow on the rice paper actually fell on his palms, and Su Heng, the female painter in the painting who had been sleeping for three hundred years, woke up.
It turns out that this painting is the last work of Su Shaowei, a court painter of the Ming Dynasty, and it hides the truth about his family being exterminated by Dongchang. Every full moon night, the dark red blood drops will ooze from the plum blossoms in the painting. Only by collecting the "Twelve Flower God Scroll" scattered among the people before the seventh full moon can the curse in the painting be resolved. Lin Yan followed Su Heng through the ancient paintings and calligraphy, and found that each ancient painting sealed a forgotten time: snow with the fragrance of ink floated out of the burned library, the gold thread on the embroiderer's unfinished wedding dress turned into flowing fireflies, and the translucent koi fish swam out of the cracks in the ice of celadon.
The unexpected visit of antique dealer Lu Mingzhou revealed a deeper secret - the Hetian jade lock hanging around the warlord's adopted son's neck was exactly the same as the amulet that Lin Yan lost in a fire when he was a child. When the blood spread over the last painting of "Han Shi Apricot Blossom", Su Heng's fingertips began to become transparent. The fire that burned down the Su Family Painting Academy three hundred years ago and the inexplicable fire in Lin's ancestral home gradually overlapped into the same crack of fate under the moonlight.
