In the early years of the Republic of China, the ancient mansion "Tingyuxuan" in the Jiangnan water town was shrouded in fog. The young antique restorer Gu Qingze returns to his hometown with vague memories of his family's past and a commission to restore a mysterious ancient painting. He discovered that this painting not only depicted a dust-covered secret family history, but also involved a strange legend about "Jade Bone Frost" - a rare craft that is said to be able to condense time. As Qingze investigates in depth, he encounters Su Wanrong, a famous troupe actress whose life experience is a mystery, and a mysterious old man who guards ancient secrets. Inside the house, undercurrents are surging, old grudges and family curses are intertwined, and danger lurks in every corner. In the process of restoring ancient paintings and uncovering the truth, Qingze must fight against the power from the past and find his own destination in the emotional entanglement. Otherwise, he will become the next soul swallowed by the "Jade Bone Frost".
