The story of Lu Huaijin, a graduate student in archeology, who awakens the bloodline of the "Artifact Listener" and encounters Qingchai, the transformer of a bronze sword from the Warring States Period that has been sealed for thousands of years. When the cultural relics in the museum display cabinets are awakened one after another, the memory of the battlefield carrying the nine scars of the bronze sword, the deep regret of the imperial concubine hidden in the bronze mirror of the Tang Dynasty, and the blood oath of the kiln worker carried on the porcelain vase of the Southern Song Dynasty emerge one after another. In the game of protection and destruction, the two gradually discovered that the transformation of the artifact was not an accident, but an atonement ceremony that spanned five thousand years. When King Jade Cong of Liangzhu knocks on the door of the theocratic era, Lu Huaijin must make the cruelest choice between awakening the collective memory of Chinese civilization and cutting off the curse of eternal life.
