Contending Voices Plot:

Su Wan is a famous "traditionalist fanatic" in the Forbidden City Restoration Studio, believing only in the "temperature of fingertips" when restoring ancient paintings. Lu Zhao, who just returned from overseas with AI scanning equipment, claims that "technology can make old paintings tell new stories." Their conflict erupts over a damaged Song Dynasty scroll, *Travelers Among Mountains and Streams*—Su Wan wants to pick out the original ink from the scraps thread by thread, while Lu Zhao wants to use algorithms to fill in the missing peaks directly. Until they knock over the scroll during restoration, and an 800-year-old letter falls from the interlayer: the painter deliberately left half the work unfinished waiting for his lover. At that moment, they understand—"contention" is not confrontation, but letting tradition and modernity together heal regret. They use traditional methods to restore the original brushstrokes and technology to recreate the lover's figure. As the painting regains vitality, their "rivalry" turns into the most touching resonance.
