-After her mother falls ill, Lin Yiran leaves her job in Beijing and returns to her hometown, where she takes the civil service exam and becomes part of the Economic Development Office in Taohua Town. There, she witnesses the decline of the traditional Xuan paper industry, once represented by the thousand-year-old Xuan family, now struggling to survive. Determined to help preserve this heritage, Lin Yiran launches new projects — from developing Xuan paper notebooks and securing wallpaper orders in Beijing to organizing a cultural festival celebrating the Four Treasures of the Study.
