Call Me Big Sister

[Intangible Cultural Heritage: Jian ware] Du Jiangsheng is a gifted high school graduate with a bright future. He falls in love at first sight with Lou Ainong, a master of traditional Jian ware firing who is seven years his senior, and begins a secret pursuit of an older woman. Little does he know that every step he takes toward her is part of Ainong's long-laid plan, hatched after she took one look at his face... Jian ware, whose appearance changes from a single color in the kiln to a myriad of colors once fired, was the finest tea ware in the Song dynasty. It once united the tastes of everyone in the Song Empire, from the royal family to the common people, and even gave rise to a flourishing synthesis of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Restoring the traditional Jian ware firing techniques that have been lost for more than eight hundred years, bringing ancient hare's-fur, oil-spot, partridge-feather, and even iridescent glaze patterns back into the world, and making up for her ancestors' regrets are Ainong's lifelong pursuits. But faced with endless rumors, students who don't understand her, and shifting market demands, Ainong is constantly caught up in the question of whether it is all worth doing. Where will she go from here? PS: This is a female-oriented story told from the male lead's perspective. He's older than the female lead, but she's younger than him.
