The antique shop deep in the old street is the starting point for Lin Mo's dialogue with the urban shadows. The ancient books left behind by grandma contain the code to crack the obsession, the bronze mirror reflects the tearful eyes of the innocent souls of the theater troupe, the old books in the library contain unsent love letters, and the girl waiting for her mother lingers on the subway platform late at night...
Behind every closed door there are unspoken regrets: the love solidified in the theater fire, the resentment towards the unfilial son in the hospital morgue, the forever empty proposal seats in the back row of the cinema, the unfinished wedding dress in the tailor shop. Lin Mo held the ancestral compass and walked through the gap between antiques and modern cities. He had seen the most ferocious resentment and touched the softest thoughts - those lingering souls were just ordinary people trapped by obsessions.
Thirty volumes of urban secrets and thirty supernatural cases all point to the same answer: the end of all supernatural beings is a life that has not been properly bid farewell to. When the last ray of resentment dissipated in the morning light, Lin Mo's antique shop received a new commission, and there were countless stories waiting to be heard in the shadows of the city.
