Yinong Paints You
Tags
Summary
Nie Song: Every stroke and line is the future I paint for you across the myriad miles of this mortal world.
Yin Xi: Every mountain and river is the resolve with which I come to you, fearing no wind or rain.
Nie Song, a young restorer of ancient paintings and calligraphy from a traditional family, uses a restoration craft passed down for over a thousand years to bring cracked, aged, and mottled ancient works back to life time and again. At an exhibition of restoration achievements, he meets Yin Xi, a PhD in geology, and cannot forget her ever after.
In daily life Nie Song is rigorous, focused, and calm as still water. After meeting the bold and daring Yin Xi, he feels the fervor and beauty of love. And his pure-hearted devotion to the restoration of ancient paintings and calligraphy, a heart that always holds the grandeur of five thousand years of Chinese civilization, deeply fascinates Yin Xi.
Yin Xi, that day you stood in the vast wilderness, mountains and ridges behind you, a sky full of starlight above, and you told me, "Because we persevere, we do not fail our passion." From that moment on, I resolved to accompany you through every stretch of landscape your heart envisions.

Reading tips
- Start with the exhibition encounter to feel the tension of their first meeting, then follow the emotional line onward.

About the author
Ji Duoyi is an author with limited publicly available information. Two works are currently known under her name: Chi Xin Wang Xiang and Yi Nong Hua Qing. Judging from these two representative titles, her writing centers mainly on modern romance and youth literature, with stories often revolving around urban relationships and youthful growth. Her style tends toward the light and delicate, with attention to character relationships and emotional atmosphere. Because no reliable records are available about her personal life, including nationality, dates of birth and death, or educational background, this introduction cannot describe her writing career in further detail.
