When Gu Yuan was reborn, he couldn't get the tie around his neck to fasten. The torn silk gave off the rusty, fishy smell of bronze.
On the day he appraised items at an auction house, he ripped apart a priceless fake in front of everyone and summoned the phantom of Qin general Bai Qi to crush an esper assassin. His Golden Eyes, which let him commune with spirits by touching genuine artifacts, turned out to be an anchor point used by an ancient civilization to harvest time.
His left hand controls the reversal of time and space; his right hand rewrites the causality of relics.
When whispers from an ancient god reach the black market monitored by his AI girlfriend, blood-contract deals steadily corrode human nature, and the cold-faced antiquities appraiser walks the line between destruction and redemption.
In this game of chess with civilization at stake, the traitor turns out to be the beautiful woman in a qipao whom he trusted most before being reborn. The jade pendant holds the truth of his erasure.
