Underneath the neon-lit modern city, there is an undercurrent that is unknown to ordinary people. The ancient power is awakening, and the warmth of people's hearts is quietly extinguishing.
Bizarre "heart lantern missing incidents" have occurred one after another in Donghai City - the victim's appearance has not changed after his return, but he has lost all joy, anger, sorrow and joy, like an exquisite body with his soul hollowed out.
Lin Jin, the quiet owner of an ancient bookstore. As the "Guardian of the Heart Lamp" that has been passed down for thousands of years, she knows better than anyone that this is no ordinary case, but a supernatural threat related to her family's mission. She can sense memories and emotions through objects, but she cannot fathom her own frozen heart.
Shen Mo, an elite consultant of the police station, an absolutely rational person who firmly believes in logic and evidence, was ordered to investigate the case. His keen insight can solve the most complex puzzles, but he cannot use science to explain the strange phenomena before him. All clues point to the mysterious bookstore and the deserted woman who is wary of him.
The thread of fate tightly entangles five unrelated people:
The lively network anchor ** Su Yuwei, who possesses folk secrets, throws herself into the whirlpool for self-protection;
Chen Haoran, a gentle archeology lecturer, glimpses the truth from ancient books, and has a dangerous power sealed in his body;
The mysterious and unruly intelligence dealer Liu Lingye holds many secrets and walks between light and darkness. His purpose remains a mystery.
