Ye Mo, 21, studies archaeology at Jiangcheng University. Reserved by nature, he is skilled at copying classical paintings. His parents died when he was young, and he lives with his grandfather, who runs a secondhand bookstore and often tells him, “You have eyes that can see the truth.”
2. Awakening his power: While copying a Ming dynasty painting at a museum, Ye Mo suddenly sees the figures in it “come alive” and hears a faint plea: “Help me.” That night, his left eye throbs with pain. When he wakes, he discovers he can see through walls. Stranger still, he sees a bronze mirror hidden beneath his grandfather’s bed, glowing with a blood-red aura.
