The protagonist Chu Chen is a top cultural relic restorer, with a pair of eyes that can see the "true" of things and extraordinary empathy. He can sense the history, emotion and even "reverberation" contained in damaged ancient objects. A bizarre commission involved him in a realm beyond the reach of ordinary people: some ancient artifacts became the source of "living" curses because they carried too strong obsessions or participated in taboo rituals.
In the process of repairing these "forbidden antiquities", Chu Chen not only had to face physical repair problems, but also experienced the supernatural memories sealed in the antiquities, and solved a series of long-lasting unsolved cases and grievances. Every client he meets is troubled by forbidden antiquities, a victim of a curse, or a "spirit" with lingering obsessions. Chu Chen must restore the ancient objects while appeasing the "spirits" in them and saving people in reality. As he repairs more and more forbidden objects, a mysterious organization called the "Guixuhui" gradually emerges, trying to collect all the forbidden antiquities to recreate an ancient evil ritual. Chu Chen's restoration has turned into a race against the "Gui Xuhui" for time and fragments, and his own life experience seems to be inextricably linked to the ultimate secrets of these ancient artifacts.
