Lin Ye, an orphan who works in Qingwa Alley, is involved in a series of strange things because of a strange copper bell he picked up - a shoe repairman floats in the air, another version of himself is reflected in the mirror, and the mysterious man pursues him endlessly.
This "soul-suppressing bell" was an artifact used by Shen Qingci, the bellkeeper in the late Ming Dynasty, to suppress evil things that "eroded bones", and Lin Ye was her nineteenth-generation descendant. A mysterious man with white hair, a girl in a white skirt, the sudden appearance of the Shadow Pavilion forces... All parties are wrestling with the "Gate of the Past" around the copper bell, and the fate of three hundred years is pressing on him.
When the seal of the bones was broken and the truth about the disappearance of his parents gradually emerged, Lin Ye held the copper bell and struggled between ordinaryness and responsibility. In the alleys with swaying red lanterns, his life has already gone off track. Is the road ahead the truth about his bloodline or a deeper whirlpool?
