Synopsis
Reborn in 1983 as the water-carrying apprentice of a state-run barbershop, He Xiaoman inherits her grandmother's bronze comb — it reads bone structure and rehearses three perfect hairstyles in her mind.

Chapter 1: The Bronze Comb Heats Up
The heat from the boiler room, thick with coal smoke, smacked her in the face. He Xiaoman was woken by the stink.
The back of her head throbbed, dully, where it had bumped the edge of the coal pile. She propped herself up on her knees, sitting straight. She was wearing a faded blue cloth jacket, the cuffs ringed with black water stains, her palms caked in gray coal dust. Inside the hearth, the flame licked at the stove door; the tin kettle gurgled, white steam blurring the whole room into a haze. She’d definitely been digging through an archive box of eighty-hairdressing records—how did she end up here?
Before she could make sense of it, a wave of unfamiliar memories crashed in. Red Star Hair Salon, state-owned, on the busiest street in the provincial capital. He Xiaoman, eighteen years old, an apprentice who boiled water and did odd jobs, six months on the clock. Two nights ago, she’d taken too long washing the dishes and the Chief Technician, Qian Guifang, had sentenced her to three days of stoking the boiler—still had to sweep floors and empty spittoons during the day. The original owner’s resentment and sense of injustice sat thick at the bottom of her mind, like old grime on a pot.
He Xiaoman raised a hand to wipe her face; her fingertip brushed her chest, snagging on something through the fabric.
