Xia Yue guards Guixu Pavilion, an ancient book store left by her grandmother, fighting with old books and cockroaches every day just to keep her grandmother’s "summer" alive. Until Han Zhi, a cold-hearted architect, shows up with a yellowed copy of *Hua Jing* (The Mirror of Flowers), saying he wants to buy both the store and the book—he’s known as the "cold stone" in the industry, having torn down every old building he’s worked on into steel and concrete. But Xia Yue insists on warming this "ice": teaching him to glue pages with peach gum, taking him to eat sweet soup at the alley, even dragging the feverish him back to the store on a rainy night. When Han Zhi’s demolition blueprint falls out, Xia Yue realizes he’s here to tear down the "root" she’s held onto for twenty years; what Han Zhi doesn’t say is that inside *Hua Jing*, there’s a note from his mother on her deathbed: "The girl named Xia at Guixu Pavilion once taught me to grow roses"—it turns out he was never looking for a book, but his mother’s "summer" and the warmth he’d lost.
