A bronze tripod from the Warring States Period returned from overseas, and in the hands of cultural relics restorer Lin Yan, he awakened the "ancient clam" that had been sleeping for thousands of years. The moment the silver cord wrapped around his wrist, he saw a woman in cheongsam holding half a jade pendant in the flames of the Republic of China, crying and shouting a name by the Xiangjiang River.
Su Tang, an ancient book restorer, came with his ancestral green clam jade pendant. The silver thread around his neck fit perfectly with the patterns of the bronze tripod. Her grandfather's diary contains a secret from a hundred years ago: during the migration of cultural relics to the south, her great-grandfather and Lin Yan's great-grandfather, in order to protect the tripod, were hunted by the Shen family and hid the yin and yang of the ancient clam in the tripod and the pendant. In the end, one of them sank into the river and the other had his bones broken.
When Shen Hanchuan, a descendant of the Shen family who coveted the power of the clam, threatened with his life and forced them to hand over the ancient clam to restart the "Clam Refining Formation", Lin Yan and Su Tang realized that those entangled in the silver thread were never just the obsession with cultural relics.
The unspoken farewells during the Republic of China have turned into fates tied by silver threads in this world; the memories sealed in the bronze tripod hide the dilemma of "protecting the tripod" and "protecting you". When the vicious energy of the blood clams dyes the Xiangjiang River red, and when the golden light of Zhenjuwen cuts through the night sky, can they break the curse of "the silver cord is broken and the three lives are scattered"?
——"If there is an afterlife, I will not protect the tripod, but only you."
——"But in this life, we must not only protect the tripod, but also protect each other."
The silver thread that spans a hundred years has one end tied to the regrets in the beacon fire and the other end to the reunion in this world. This time, the fate is right and there is no compromise.
