Don't Forget Your Roots

share time: 2025-11-05 00:34:25

Chen Atu, a village guardian, has spent half his life protecting the 300-year-old Xu Family Ancestral Hall—until Lin Wan, a beautiful boss wanting to turn it into an internet-famous homestay, arrives with excavators. She forces her way in and smashes the pillars, but just as she thinks money can buy compliance, Chen pulls out a yellowed genealogy. It turns out he’s the descendant of an orphan saved by the Xu family decades ago, and beneath the hall lies a “Gratitude Deed” from the Xu ancestors: to guard their savior’s line forever. When Chen’s documents invalidate Lin’s demolition permit, a shocking truth emerges—her grandfather was once saved by the hall’s incense ash during a crisis. In this clash between roots and profit, Chen’s “clumsy” persistence wakes Lin up to her forgotten origins, and he finally preserves the village’s spiritual home, etched in every villager’s bones.
