share time: 2026-01-12 06:00:17

Su Wan, the last cicada molt silk embroideress in the old alley, guards her grandmother’s legacy—the "Cicada Molt Gown," a wedding dress woven from cicada exuviae—waiting for the lover her grandmother lost in the war for 20 years. Until Gu Mo, a rising designer, comes with a contract to demolish the alley for a cultural park. They clash over saving the gown—until Gu Mo finds the "twin cicadas" embroidery on its collar matches the half-handkerchief his grandfather held on his deathbed. The truth hits: that lover was Gu Mo’s grandfather, separated by war decades ago. Now, they must mend the old regret—and as they protect the gown, they fall in love.
