26-year-old Gu Chi is a standard "Beijing drifter loser": he was optimized, broke up, and pressed for rent by the landlord. On the night when he was about to flee Beijing, a bizarre thunderstorm gave him an incredible ability - any plant he touched, whether it was foxtail grass on the roadside or broken branches and leaves in the flower shop, would suddenly bloom in full bloom in an instant, contrary to seasonal norms. What's even more bizarre is that after he revived a dying peony, a memory from a hundred years ago suddenly flooded into his mind: In the deep palace courtyard, an old gardener was teaching the palace maid how to make peonies bloom out of season in the cold winter... This was the long-lost "ancient method of flowering peonies." Since then, Gu Chi's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. He originally wanted to quietly open a flower shop to make a living by relying on this "flowering craft", but he did not expect that every pot of flowers and plants he rescued contained an intangible cultural heritage memory that was dusted by time. The guests who come to him are becoming more and more strange: there are Su embroidery descendants who want to find the ancestral embroidery manual, old craftsmen who want to reproduce lost ancient paper, and traditional Chinese painting masters who want to see with their own eyes the sacred tree in "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual"... When all kinds of modern conspiracies and intrigues meet the simplest traditional craftsmanship, an urban adventure about protection and inheritance begins.
