The Sleepless Zither

share time: 2025-12-07 00:30:16

Returned architect Lin Fengsong is ordered to demolish the century-old "Jinse Residence", only to encounter Wang Yaqing, a cultural relic restorer guarding the house—she clutches an old zither with broken strings and claims the house hides his past-life promise. Amid the tug-of-war between demolition and preservation, Lin frequently dreams of a cheongsam-clad woman playing the zither, while Wang’s old diary bears exactly his handwriting. When the zither is repaired late at night, the string melody unlocks their sealed past-life memories: in the Republic of China era, he was a warlord’s young marshal, she a opera troupe lutenist, who promised "the zither never breaks, the wait never ends" before being separated by war. Now the demolition order comes again. How will they keep their past-life vow and face their present-life affection?
