Lin Ye was an ordinary social worker struggling in a big city. Until one day after working overtime, he picked up an old cracked porcelain bowl next to the trash can. That night, he actually "saw" the past life of the porcelain bowl: it had been the imperial tableware during the Tang and Song Dynasties, witnessed poets drinking to the moon, and had also been broken in wars.
From then on, Lin Ye's life completely went astray: the old pen he touched would display love letters from students in the Republic of China, the old watch he wore would play the train station broadcast from 80 years ago, and even the company printer contained the "fishing secrets" of the previous user. He originally wanted to make some extra money with this ability, but he was accidentally involved in an "item mutation" crisis - someone was collecting old objects that could awaken the "power of past lives" in an attempt to open a "time and space rift" connecting ancient and modern times, allowing monsters from the fantasy world to flood into the city.
What's even more troublesome is that he met Su Qingyuan, a girl who appeared to be an ancient book restorer but was actually a member of the "Object Keeper" organization. As soon as they met, she pointed a compass at him: "You have the aura of 'foreign body resonance' on you. Either follow me, or wait to be targeted by monsters."
From being forced to cooperate to fighting side by side, Lin Ye gradually discovered that his ability to see the "past life of objects" was actually related to the truth about the disappearance of his parents ten years ago; and the "Record of Keeping Things" guarded by Su Qingyuan held the key to preventing the collapse of the world. When ancient secrets appear next to high-rise buildings in the city, and when daily necessities turn into fantasy weapons, two people who were originally parallel have to face the "fantasy crisis hidden in daily life" together, and also take risks one after another.
