Gentle Redemption in a Thousand-Year Manuscript

In the 5000th year of the star calendar, human beings have lost their ability to empathize, and the "space-time rift" where negative emotions condensed continues to erode the warmth of the city. Li Xia, the only one with the gift of empathy, became Su Wan, the creator who repeatedly rejected manuscripts thousands of years ago - the only interpreter of the rejected manuscripts that was regarded as the "Sacred Book of Salvation". The timidity when he first took up the job and the panic of losing control made Li Xia deeply immersed in self-doubt. Until she discovered Su Wan's rejection note covered in ink between the yellowed pages: "Is gentleness really useless?" The similar predicament resonated with two souls spanning thousands of years. As the warm light of the manuscript circulated, she understood Su Wan's persistence hidden in the words, and also touched the unfulfilled tender expectations. The cold-faced mecha guard Kai initially despised "soft gentleness", but gradually became shaken as he silently protected Li Xia again and again and witnessed how gentleness resolves disasters. He remembered her needs, conveyed warmth in a clumsy way, and changed from a doubter to the most steadfast companion. The aftertaste of dried osmanthus, the warmth of hand-painted cards, and the bond of the star cat badge guided Li Xia to trigger a memory linkage across time and space, and saw the loneliness and determination of Su Wan's creation under the lamp in the rental house. The tacit understanding between her and Kai also deepened while fighting side by side, from stranger to trust. When the ultimate "disaster of global indifference" comes and the power of the manuscript is on the verge of dissipating, Li Xia finally understands that Gentle inheritance never fights alone. She borrowed Su Wan's millennium power, Kai's protection and the people's goodwill to awaken humanity's lost empathy. It turns out that Su Wan's unfinished ending is hidden in the obsession that "gentleness will eventually be seen"; and the two-way redemption of Li Xia and Kai is the most complete continuation of this tenderness across time and space.
