At 25, Su Yanxin was once a washed-up beauty influencer. After getting dragged by the entire internet, she had no choice but to become a cheap makeup-removal livestreamer, earning less than 200 yuan a day. Though she looked disheveled and apathetic, she'd been adopted as a child by an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage and was an expert in traditional pigment-making. By chance, she received a fragment of Tiangong Kaiwu and unexpectedly bound herself to a System, setting her on the road to a comeback!
Along the way, Su Yanxin meets Pei Qingwu, a gentle, refined, and highly knowledgeable Palace Museum conservator. Whenever she faces a crisis, he sends her clues encoded in ancient musical scores to help her solve the problem. A kind and benevolent kesi-weaving granny serves as her skills mentor. Before her death, she entrusts Su Yanxin with the true meaning of the Xuanji Tu, triggering a major plot point.
In the early stages, each of Su Yanxin's livestreams corresponds to a natural disaster. Forging a sword using ancient methods can resolve an acid-rain crisis, for example, while recreating Dunhuang's mineral pigments can stop a sandstorm from swallowing a city. The middle stages reveal the villain's scheme to mass-produce “fake intangible cultural heritage” with AI and dilute the nation's fortune. Later, the plan to complete the Yongle Encyclopedia is launched, sparking a global scramble for the seeds of civilization. The government also secretly supports her, with the Cultural Relics Bureau specially approving raw materials and the military providing meteorite-monitoring data, among other things.
This is a supernatural-awakening novel blending inspirational drama, serious storytelling, System progression, and competitive power struggles. Can Su Yanxin overcome one obstacle after another, revive Chinese master crafts through her livestreams, and make a dazzling comeback? The answers await you!
