share time: 2025-11-26 02:31:19

Lin Xiaoman, a cultural relic restorer, has lingered in the shadow of her fiancé’s death for three years, guarding embers that seemed forever extinguished. Until Chen Mo, a mysterious painter, arrives with a burnt ancient scroll—the very one her fiancé left unfinished. Worse still, the jade pendant around Chen Mo’s neck is identical to her fiancé’s. Is it a coincidence? Or a sign of a return? As Chen Mo teaches her to repaint the crabapple petals hand in hand, Xiaoman realizes: embers are never the end. Someone has quietly added firewood, rekindling the warmth of “joy” in her frozen heart.
