Song Chi always thought that his parents died in a car accident.
Until he witnessed a black shadow swallowing a homeless man in an alley on a rainy night.
The starburst pocket watch left by his grandmother suddenly became hot, and the mysterious old man at Guixu Bookstore saw through his fear.
"Some things, once you see them, you can't hide from them."
When detective Su Ran investigated the bizarre murder case, Song Chi was forced to confess:
"The killers are not human - they come from the cracks in overlapping worlds."
The crying Wan Niang in the mirror, the cursed artifacts collected by entrepreneurs, and the truth about her father's death in the line of duty in secret police files...
All clues point to a broken ancient contract.
Before his death, the guardian thrust the blood-stained teapot into his hand:
"Son of Stardust, you are the only one left to mend the rift between the two worlds."
