Whispers of Time in the Museum of Old Things

Tucked deep in an old alley in Qingchuan City, the Museum of Old Things is Su Nian's inheritance from her grandmother, a treasure trove of time. Every antique holds its owner's story, from a chipped fountain pen to a grandfather clock that runs slow, each one still carrying the warmth of years gone by. Su Nian spends her days repairing and caring for the collection, enjoying a happy little life of lying flat, until Gu Yanshen, a cool and aloof tenant, shows up with a battered old suitcase. Her peaceful life is turned upside down.

Gu Yanshen rented a room only to search for his younger sister, Gu Yanxi, who disappeared many years ago. As it happens, the clues are hidden among the museum's old treasures. A plum-blossom fountain pen that writes by itself, an old photo album that turns its own pages, and a dust box buried beneath an old Chinese scholar tree all appear one after another, bringing a mysterious organization called Dust into view. They covet the "memory fragments" hidden in old objects and plan to use them to activate a control chip. Gu Yanxi is their target.
