Zhaojin is a "curse receiver" who specializes in taking the blame for the ancients. His daily life is coexisting with various inexplicable ancient artifacts - such as a bronze mirror that can turn lies into frogs, a jade pendant that specializes in stealing people's shadows, and a teapot that can recite eight-legged essays in the middle of the night. These artifacts are burdened with all kinds of strange curses, but Zhaojin has a peculiar quirk: he is only interested in cursed things. Therefore, he took the initiative to step into the whirlpool of the artifact's spell, trying to break all the ridiculous restrictions and collect humor stained with the dirt of the times. But every time a curse is solved, the reality becomes weirder, and the mysterious Lord of the Curse is approaching step by step. Zhaojin has to wonder - is she solving the curse, or is she being played by this curse game?
This book describes the bizarre logic of the cursed world with absurd touches. The protagonist's obsession and humor sparkle with rationality amidst the absurdity. The artifacts are no longer lofty "treasures", but "problem children" filled with resentment. The daily interactions between Zhaojin and them make people laugh. Every time the curse is solved, it is a bold ridicule of the absurdity of fate, and a profound questioning of one's own identity.
