share time: 2025-12-06 06:02:00

To raise money for her mother’s surgery, Su Xiao takes a chipped porcelain bowl left by her late father to an auction. Unexpectedly, Gu Shen, a cold auctioneer, insists on marketing the “worthless” bowl as “the unfinished masterpiece of a Republican-era ceramic master,” and it sells for a million yuan. Just as she’s leaving with the money, Gu stops her: “Didn’t you see the note in the bowl?” It turns out the bowl hides an IOU—Su’s father saved Gu’s grandfather years ago. The auction was Gu’s scheme to repay the debt. What Su doesn’t know? Gu has watched her since three years ago, when she蹲在 the hospital corridor eating bread, her eyes as bright as the hot congee her father once gave his grandfather.
