| Lasting Scent Event: When Interacting |
| "It turns out that for the heart to stir in this world, all it takes is a single flower. The evening breeze, the bright moon, heaven and earth—all know." |
| "I had long since resigned myself to the cycle of life, the blooming and fading of flowers, the ceaseless rise and fall of the sun. But now, the thought of a single petal withering fills me with such sorrow." |
| "Thousands of years ago, when I first came into being, there was a reckless little girl who would carelessly stick flowers into me. I told her, "I am not a flower vase, I am a royal ceremonial vessel." She laughed and said, "Once you have flowers, you are a flower vase." Well then, let me continue to be your flower vase." |

Letters[]
First Letter
Miss Gu
It's been some time since we met. How have you been?
I'm impressed by how you immediately recognized the fishing painting that day at the Minghan Boutique.
I'm relieved the Gu family's ancestral teachings have been passed down along with their restoration techniques.
I was a close friend of Master Gu's, despite the differences in our ages. He was an open-minded person. Nothing bothered him, except for finding a suitable successor. I suppose his wish has been granted, now that he has you to carry on the Gu family's techniques and traditions.
I hope you can carry on the spirit of a restorer and make the Gu family famous. Feel free to find me if you ever need help.
I wish you well.

Second Letter
Miss Yunting
Before you know it, winter's end is already upon us.
The heavy snowstorms have delayed the construction of the university hall.
I came across a western book while passing by the university library this afternoon. I thought you would be interested in it because it's about antique restoration techniques, so I bought it. Please accept this gift.
The new year will be upon us in a few days. I don't know if I'll be able to visit Flower Lane then, so I'd like to wish you Happy New Year beforehand.
You must be frustrated by how things keep cropping up lately. However, there are many things in this world that cannot be controlled by humans, so I advise you to be more open-minded.
I think you're already doing a good job.
I wish you well.

Third Letter
Yunting
I happened to glance out my window last night and noticed the pear trees in full bloom. It seems that spring has arrived without me realizing it. Many things have happened since we met. If you think about it though, we haven't known each other for long.
I never thought an ancient antique spirit could experience so many fluctuations in emotions over the short span of a few months.
You've always been a unique young lady. You're determined, and you know when to be kind. You're also able to forgive and empathize with others. The more time I spend with you, the more strengths I discover. I finally understand why so many antique spirits treat you as their best friend. It if were me, I think I would do so too.
I'll be heading south in a few days. I remember you were in a hurry the last time you went to Jiangnan and didn't have much time for sightseeing before you had to return to Huating. If so, would you like to explore Jiangnan in the spring with me after everything has been resolved?

Your Gift Surpasses All Flowers
Miss Gu, I hope this letter finds you well. The moment I opened my eyes this morning, I saw the flower you sent. In that instant, it was as if I was transported to the spring of Jiangnan. Only one line of poetry could capture the feelings in my heart: "Having seen you, how could I not be happy?".
Over the years, I've seen countless flowers. In Luoyang West Garden, I admired the renowned peony, its splendor like clouds and its elegance like a tapestry. During a visit to a remote mountain, I stumbled upon a cluster of orchids, growing solitary and pure among the rocks. I cherish the osmanthus tree in my courtyard, its tiny blossoms, when scattered across one's shoulders, create a unique charm. I've also seen the beauty of the flowering apple after a night of gentle rain, the roses swaying in the wind, and the plum blossoms covered in snow. Each flower is unique and captivating in its own way. Yet, none of these countless flowers can compare to the one you gave me.
Perhaps the only thing that can rival this flower is the moonlight we shared together.
I hope that we can have many more such beautiful moments together, filled with the warmth of the sun and the serenity of the moon.
