Falling into Your Vast Red Dust

Falling into Your Vast Red Dust Plot:

Su Wan, a cultural relic restorer, closed her heart due to childhood trauma and vowed to be an "outsider untouched by mortal affairs". However, she is broken through by Lin Yan, a "drama maniac" from a folk opera troupe—he pesters her to restore costumes for the endangered ancient opera *Boundless Red Dust*. Lin Yan’s passion is like fire, melting Su Wan’s icy shell: he brews ginger tea for her late at night, tells stories of his master with tattered opera manuscripts, and says when she collapses, "Your heart isn’t a relic; you don’t need to lock it away." But when Su Wan finally dares to approach, she discovers Lin Yan’s secret—his "madness" is to guard the last spark of the troupe for his master, and he fears his "uncertain future" isn’t worthy of Su Wan’s lifetime. They tug between "avoiding love" and "daring to love" until the night of the opera’s premiere. Lin Yan stands on stage in the costume Su Wan restored and says: "I’ve acted all my life; this time I want to be real—will you fall into my red dust?"
