Confident and a bit headstrong, Xia Rui Ning (Zhuang Da Fei) has always known what she wanted out of life and has never been afraid to follow her heart or her dreams. Now a student at the Cultural Institute of Xiling University, Rui Ning is well on her way to turning her passion for ancient art into a full-time career.  It’s during her study of art history that Rui Ning meets Ye Lin (Huang Sheng Chi) and Ye Miao (Fan Zhi Xin), two brothers whose family collection of ancient scrolls, paintings, and artifacts, has been passed down for generations. Intrigued by the impressive collection and won over by the many charms of Ye Ling and Ye Miao, Rui Ning soon finds herself befriending the brothers. At the same time, she also meets Shen Zhen (Ma Xin Yu), the spoiled daughter of her former nanny, who seems to have her eye on more than just the Ye brothers’ expansive art collection. As the four share in the arduous assignment of restoring ancient painting they find themselves being swept up into a swirling tide of complicated relationships and surging emotions. Torn between the friends she loves and the one who has captured her heart, will Rui Ning be able to find a way to follow her heart while still pursuing her dreams?
