In Qixi Town, surrounded by mountains, there is a century-old lacquer craft workshop - "Ningqi Pavilion". The owner, Su Yan, is the fifth generation of the workshop. He has a secret that no one knows: he can understand the speech of lacquerware. The red lacquer boxes of the Ming Dynasty always complained that "tourists have too weak hands and touch my patterns every day, and the coating is almost scratched." The bodiless lacquer vases of the Qing Dynasty often complained, "The humidity in the workshop is not well controlled, and the paint layer is almost wrinkled." Even the lacquer-painted screen in the corner of the Republic of China can say, "Back then, I accompanied the host to entertain distinguished guests, and the pomp was more lively than today's internet celebrity check-in place."
Su Yan guards the workshop, and spends his daily life listening to complaints about lacquerware, repairing damaged lacquerware, and focusing on a "Buddha style lying flat" - after all, dealing with lacquerware that can talk is much less troublesome than dealing with mothers who are urging marriage or speculative antique dealers. Until one rainy night, Qiyou, covered in paint, crashed into the Ningqi Pavilion. The girl's eyes had a faint lacquer red color, and she held a glowing "lacquer soul box" in her arms. She asked softly: "Can you lend me shelter from the rain? My box is almost out of light, and it seems to be about to 'fall asleep'."
Su Yan didn't expect that this girl who always talked about "Can this be repaired?" Was actually the last descendant of the hidden Qi Ling clan. The "Paint Soul Valley", the habitat of the Lacquer Spirit Clan, was destroyed by the "Split Lacquer Clan" who coveted the "power of the Paint Soul". Qiyou escaped to the world with the Lacquer Soul Box, the clan's most precious treasure, and knew nothing about modern life: he regarded scanning QR code payment as "exchanging money with magic", mistaking microwave ovens as "lacquer kilns that heat up", and even power banks as "glowing paint pillows", which made a lot of jokes.
