Lin Wan (Luo Xueqiong), a 32-year-old book editor, has just lost faith in love after her boyfriend’s cheating, but is forced to collaborate with returnee architect Lu Zhao (Wang Zhimin) on an old bookstore renovation. Lu Zhao seems cold and rational, but he’s actually closed his heart since missing his first love years ago. They clash instantly over "commercialization vs. sentiment"—Lin wants to keep the old wooden stairs with memory-laden grain, but Lu says it fails fire codes; Lin insists on preserving the old book section’s warmth, while Lu argues profit comes first. Yet when Lin stays up repairing rain-soaked old books, Lu silently leaves a cup of hot cocoa; when Lu gets stuck on his design, Lin inspires him with stories of the bookstore’s regulars. They fall for each other amid friction, only to face a misunderstanding when Lu’s first love suddenly returns. Can this late-blooming love between two older singles overcome past regrets and catch this "delayed heartbeat"?
