iQIYI also confirmed the script is adapted from the novel “Want to Hide You and Time” (想把你和时间藏起来) by Bei Qing (北倾).
The plot of the Chinese drama itself looks like this:
To film a movie featuring clock restorers at the Palace Museum, producer Shen Qian Zhan visits the Palace Museum for research. There, she witnesses the exceptional skills of Ji Qing He, a clock restorer who promotes intangible cultural heritage.
Because of this, she invites Ji Qing He to be a project consultant, joining her in the story’s development. Ji Qing He’s unique interpretation of time and profound understanding of intangible cultural heritage alleviates Shen Qian Zhan’s anxieties.
Together, they overcome numerous challenges and create a film that expresses the dedication and love of intangible cultural heritage inheritors for history and culture.
And yep, that sounds a bit dry and dull but, believe me, it’s waaaaaaaay more interesting than that.
