Game designer Li Cheng, struggling with creative burnout, returns to his hometown of Yuncheng, Shanxi. There, he reunites with his father, who has steadfastly upheld traditional woodworking for decades, and his sister Li Yi, who is breaking boundaries through livestreaming. Their father has spent over twenty years meticulously recreating a mortise-and-tenon model of the historic Feiyun Tower. However, his old-fashioned belief in "passing skills to sons, not daughters" leads to conflict with Li Yi. Armed with her signature pink carving tools and a following of over a million fans, Li Yi challenges gender bias in the field and fights to redefine tradition. Initially resistant to woodworking, Li Cheng is stunned by the precision of the 20-meter Feiyun Tower model built by his father and sister. Awed by the intricate joinery, he decides to translate this ancient architectural wisdom into game code - bringing the thousand-year-old tower to life in the digital world. Among wood shavings and keystrokes, three generations reconcile - through the father's quiet watchfulness beneath the plane, the sibling rivalry full of generational tension, and the harmony between traditional craftsmanship and modern technology—together weaving a timeless ode to cultural heritage.
