Mo Qingyue was an ordinary office worker who had been through the 996 grind and endured all kinds of exploitation by her boss. Heartbroken but finally clear-eyed, she resolutely handed in her resignation, took the police exam, and returned to her hometown to start a new life. But she never expected to run into her hated male boss back home, let alone discover that he was an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of woodcarving. Seeing another side of Zhou Mingxuan as he carries on the craft, and feeling his deep devotion to their hometown, she encourages Old Qian to secure a spot for their unit in a publicity campaign. Using a criminal investigation as a pretext, she promotes the beauty of their hometown, gets Zhou Mingxuan’s woodcarving featured on a national TV program, and brings the craft to a bigger stage. From getting on each other’s nerves to working together to promote and develop their hometown’s woodcarving culture, the two share the ambition of preserving and passing on the craft while revitalizing the cultural heritage of the whole region.
