Close Yet Distant: Autumn on the Path

share time: 2025-10-17 00:38:24

Su Wanqiu, a down-and-out ancient book restorer, takes a job repairing a tattered book to cover her grandma's medical bills, only to find the employer is Gu Jinchen, the trillionaire president of Gu Group. Gu seems to nitpick her work, but secretly pays off her debts, deals with harassing peers, and even brings warm porridge when she works late. Until Wanqiu finds a childhood drawing in the book—the "Autumn Scene on the Path" she drew for "Little Chen Brother"—she realizes the cold president is the boy who promised to "marry her when she grows up." It turns out Gu left due to family changes but never forgot their vow: "Reunite when autumn comes on the path." Now he's back to win her heart and help her restart her restoration career. When Wanqiu thinks it's all "good luck," she discovers Gu has been watching her for three years—his company is in the opposite office building, and he's gazed at her working overtime through the glass every day.
