Phoenix Perches on Wutong Today

share time: 2025-11-22 02:31:10

Top jewelry designer Su Wantang hides in a Jiangnan ancient town to escape a family-arranged marriage and accidentally checks into Wuju Tavern—owned by Lin Shen, an ancient house restorer who values "old things more than his life." They bicker daily over whether to alter the old items: she wants to replace the lamp with a trendy one, while he insists on keeping the late Qing kerosene lamp; she wants to wipe off the old messages on the wall, but he says they're "the Wutong's wrinkles." Until Su's "Phoenix Perches on Wutong" jewelry collection is stolen, and the clue left by the thief leads to Lin's old chest—inside lies half a Ming Dynasty "Phoenix on Wutong" brocade, the family heirloom she's been searching for three years. When the "phoenix wanting to fly" meets the "man guarding the tree," this bond of "searching" and "persisting" has already begun in the growth rings of the old Wutong tree.
