Young Shen Zhiwei takes over Tingyu Studio, her family's bookstore, struggling to keep the business afloat while burdened with debt. She breaks with old conventions, allowing even the poor to rent books and learn to read and write. She takes in down-and-out scholars and restores damaged ancient manuscripts. Facing suppression and harassment from her rivals, Shen Zhiwei relies on her perseverance to keep the bookstore running. Moved by her determination, people come forward to help. Together, they proofread and print lost classics, bringing long-forgotten words back to life. This little bookstore carries the heartfelt dream of ordinary people to read, learn, and seek knowledge.
