Irises Beneath the Vermilion Gate

share time: 2026-02-23 02:32:26

Lin Wan has guarded "Iris Cottage" in the deep old alley for ten years—it’s the flower shop her mother left before passing away, with a pot of vivid purple irises always on the counter. Until Shen Yan, heir of the wealthy Shen family, shows up with a demolition order. The man in a tailored suit says coldly, "Clear out in three days," but his pupils constrict when he sees the iris. It turns out Shen Yan’s mother once ran out of the Shen family’s vermilion gate in tears, holding this very iris; and the diary Lin Wan’s mother hid under the pot is slowly revealing an old love story buried by the Shen family for twenty years. When commercial interests collide with two generations’ emotional obsessions, Shen Yan must choose between family duty and regret, while Lin Wan fights to protect her mother’s last trace. Can the purple iris, still stained with old tears, be the key to bridging their social divide?
