He claims to be her husband from a thousand years ago, having traveled from the Song Dynasty due to the obsession of a jade pendant. Lin thinks he’s crazy, but Gu not only accurately mentions the glass marble she hid in the old roof beam but also makes ginger tea that tastes exactly like her late grandma’s. As Gu’s funny daily life unfolds—writing takeout notes with a brush, mistaking the robot vacuum for a “wooden ox flowing horse”—past-life memories emerge: in the Northern Song, she was an innkeeper’s daughter, and Gu took an assassin’s knife for her, clutching half a jade pendant as he died, saying “I’ll find you in the next life.” Now Gu has crossed a thousand years to fulfill their promise, but Lin has closed her heart due to a past relationship hurt. Gu uses clumsy sincerity—fixing her fountain pen at 3 a.m. (with ancient brush-repair skills), waiting outside her company with rice paper that says “Xiaoman must eat” when she works overtime—to slowly melt her defenses. Just as they finally dare to face this time-crossing love, the jade pendant suddenly glows red, and a hidden price quietly approaches…
