Embers of Old Memories

Embers of Old Memories Plot:

Cultural relic restorer Lin Xiaoman accidentally receives an order for a burnt sandalwood comb. Between its teeth lies half a faded movie ticket from ten years ago—the token of her love with Shen Yue. Back then, Shen suddenly disappeared, and she thought she’d been abandoned. Until she scrapes off the scorch marks on the comb, revealing the words “Wait for me” carved inside, along with a fragment of a leukemia diagnosis. It turns out Shen had faked a “betrayal” to spare her from his illness. Now, the comb still holds residual warmth, and the sender’s letter reads: “This is his ashes. He wanted you to touch the warmth of his heart that never cooled.”
