Heart of Literature Mirrors the Qing's Morning Dew

share time: 2025-10-24 06:09:24

Su Wan, a modern cultural relic restorer, finds that the three characters "Zhao Lu Ming" (Morning Dew Bright) repeatedly appearing on the edge of a damaged Qing Dynasty manuscript still carry undried morning dew. One night, she is led by the manuscript to an old馆 and accidentally breaks into the study of Shen Zhao, a Qing Dynasty scholar who wrote "The heart of literature reflects the moon, the morning dew mirrors the soul". Shen is being framed by powerful officials for refusing to falsify historical facts. While using modern restoration techniques to help Shen recover the destroyed evidence, Su Wan explores the connection between the manuscript and "Zhao Lu Ming". She discovers their fates were intertwined when the ink dried a hundred years ago: "Zhao Lu Ming" is Shen's obsession that "words should be as clear as morning dew", and Su Wan is exactly the "person from the future who guards the heart of literature" he wrote about in the manuscript. When the powerful official's knife is raised to Shen's neck, Su Wan holds the manuscript with morning dew, ready to bet—using the literary heart from a hundred years later to save the clarity from a hundred years ago.
