share time: 2025-10-12 06:00:20

Su Tan'er, the leading actress of the opera troupe 'Zhuofang Ban', is renowned in the capital for her 'Sandalwood Melody' that captures all worldly obsessions. Yet she has closed her heart for a decade, clinging to half a sandalwood plaque left by her late senior brother on his deathbed. Until Gu Wangzhi, the son of the wealthiest man in the capital, arrives with the other half of the plaque, demanding she perform 'Sandalwood Melody' again—revealing that her brother's death is linked to the Gu family's incense shop massacre years ago. When the 'widow' from the opera meets the 'unforgotten love' in reality, Su Tan'er discovers that the 'obsession' she's guarded for ten years is actually the 'vain hope' Gu Wangzhi has hidden for a decade. And the sandalwood smoke that lingered for ten years is slowly burning through the most painful truth of their fates.
