This work constructs a "spirit ecosystem" intertwined with ancient and modern times: artifacts develop spiritual intelligence due to emotional sustenance, historical infiltration or special energy, and their power comes from "story value". The loose "spirit world" relies on the "Arbitration Office of Artifacts and Spirits" (such as the Shengbo Underground Bar "Sustained Thought") to resolve disputes. Modern spirits are mostly hidden in human society.
The protagonist Li Chuqi was born on the seventh day of the first lunar month, "Human Day". He inherited the "psychic quality" of his grandmother (suspected to be a psychic medium of the previous generation) and can sense spirits. The replica longevity lock "Broken Mouth Lock" from the Republic of China left by my grandma is talkative and cowardly. It is both an amulet and a token of guidance. It gives vague reminders at critical moments and has a deep connection with Lao Zhang.
The core prop Kangxi Tongbao "Kang Xiaoxi" is the key to power: on the seventh day of every month, he absorbs the moonlight and releases "memory fragments". After watching Li Chuqi, he can unlock skills such as ghost language and artifact enchantment, and may also be infected with Kang Xiaoxi's habits; the ancient coin is designed with "300 words of reflections" The rule is that if you don't finish it, you will be electrocuted and your hair will be destroyed. In fact, it will help you digest energy. The anecdotes about the Kangxi Dynasty in the fragments and the embarrassing story about Kang Xiaoxi's secret love for the porcelain vase are all foreshadowing for the follow-up.
The residual influence of the "spirit slayers" in history, museum executives and secret societies who are aware of spirits add variables to the story. Li Chuqi will use "story value" as a link to uncover the intertwined secrets of ancient and modern times in the bond between humans and spirits.
