Lin Sui has been able to hear the sounds of plants since she was a child. This special ability led her to the ancient book restoration room of the university library. There, she met the mysterious Gu Mingyuan, an ancient book restorer who would not live past the age of twenty-five. The two became connected because of a ginkgo specimen, but during the Begonia Riots in the Botanical Garden, they discovered the entanglement between their past and present lives. The two tombstones in the Botanical Garden are engraved with "The growth rings of love are parked here." Every year in late autumn, ginkgo specimens always fall on the window sill of the restoration room, with morning dew condensed between the veins of the leaves, like tears traveling through time and space. The snow-white mink with red eyes slept guarding the tombstone, witnessing this love that spanned time and space.
