Visitors Staying in the Old Courtyard

Changsha, 17th year of the Republic of China. The bluestone roads in the old lanes of Nancheng hide the only stability in troubled times. Xie Qingyan, the orphan of a well-known scholarly family in the north, works as a copywriter incognito, guarding a leaky courtyard, not daring to reveal any of his talents. Zhou Lin, a secret hunter with a secret order, came here to track down an old case of the Xie family. He deliberately moved into the alley and stared at this seemingly weak neighbor like a knife in the dark. In troubled times, they are each other's most unexpected pieces. From the initial alienation and alertness, to a lamp and a bowl of hot porridge late at night. He looked at the tenacity under his warm skin, and he understood the loneliness in his fierce eyes. Zhou Lin originally came to ask for his life, but in the end he just wanted to keep him safe. Xie Qingyan originally wanted to survive, but in this man, he found his way back from the troubled times. This is a story about dormancy and protection. In an era of continuous bombardment, they could not escape their fate, but they could protect each other and live a "rest of life". After a hundred years of wind and rain, locust trees have fallen in the old alleys, but fortunately the mountains and rivers are stable, and fortunately you are by my side.
