Lu Tao Yan, a 20-year-old bookworm, and an introvert who thinks books are special friends rather than real friends found a job in an old university library, dreaming she can read as many books as she can.
while arranging the bookshelf of the history column she stumbled upon an old book titled 'THE GAME OF....' which is on the verge of fading as the pages of the book were yellow, in hope of restoring the book, she starts to read the book with intensity but found out that the missing pages and the restoration of the book can be difficult.
she started collecting the books related to the original to restore, one night when she was returning home from the university, she met an old man who is reading the book she hopes to restore on a bench near the park. She went to ask him about the book.
" Ahh old sir, can I ask you something?"
He looked like an 80-year-old man, wearing a grey color Hanfu his hair is too short, his eyes very clear with full of vitality he is oozing an aura of a refined scholar, seeing from close Lu Tao Yan was impressed by his aura and her attitude became more respectful towards him,
" This a midnight how can a young lady as you walk on the streets without assuming safety, young lady lets go I will drop you at your house"
Listening to him, she felt funny yet warm as it is the first time someone talked to her with concern and worry, she smiled at his request but intended to ask him about the book she wants to restore she happen to bring the book home and wanted to show him, but stopped her actions when she looked at the book he was holding, he held it with care, the book was worn a lot but one can still see with a naked eye that it was well maintained
"Sir, the book you are holding is the book I was looking for many days if you don't mind can I borrow this from you "
He furrowed his eyebrows at her response, he asked her to sit next to him and started asking her about how she knows about this book
"I thought this book is the last one but listening to you is there another copy "
" Yes, but it is currently in a very bad state, and am working on restoring it"
Then she showed him the destroyed version, he got furious and asked
" What is this? Don't you know how to respect the treasures"
"You are right sir when I found this book in the national library, I was more shocked than you"
" You can call me grandpa yuan or Yong yuan "
"Yong yuan? Isn't it means forever "
"Yes"
Then they started their conversation on the ruined book, it went on for a long time before they realized it was daybreak, he gave her his address before they parted ways,
After returning to her home, she was surprised that the person she talked with last night had such incredible knowledge of the book and the topics he discussed with her piqued her interest.
After a few days,
She cleared her schedule for two days straight to get to know grandpa Yong yuan, she arrived at the address she got from him and stood in front of the old house in silence, she felt strange standing in front of the gate, she opened the gate and went inside, it felt natural to her as she walked inside the building and without her knowledge, she arrived in front a door wondering whether to open the door or not, then she heard grandpa Yuan's voice from inside
"I have been waiting for you child, come in" shocked she checked the door and the wall thoroughly not finding any holes on either of them wondered how he knew she was at the door she didn't even make a sound, pursing her lips she opened the door, its garden filled with various flowers, Yan was amazed by what she saw, hearing the sound of water she turned to her side to the view of a beautiful lotus pond, grandpa Yuan standing at the foot of the lake waited for Yan to come close
Lu Tao Yan felt a deep connection to the place, everything around her oozed with brightness, she chuckled when she felt the air was welcoming her seeing grandpa Yaun her intuition told her that something big is going to happen,
