At the midnight museum, blood-red rules suddenly appear on a bronze mirror. A paper figure opens its eyes, and the ancestral hall door locks itself. Shen Yan discovers that his artifact restoration skills are the only key to breaking these eerie rules!
"You must not repair damaged paper figures?" He takes one apart with tweezers, pulls a slip bearing the true rules from its straw stuffing, and smirks. "You must not look into a bronze mirror at midnight?" He uses his bronze derusting technique to dissolve the energy inside the mirror, and the jade pendant bursts with white light, suppressing the anomaly.
A descendant of the survivors of a sacrificial massacre, he carries a jade pendant that serves as a "taboo decoder". He ventures into ancestral halls and explores an Embroidery Tower. Every trap hidden in the rules of these forbidden zones is easily crushed with his restoration techniques!
True and false rules intertwine, while the Sacrificial Revival Society secretly pulls the strings. His teammate Su Xiaotang's ability to decipher ancient texts and Old Chen's Qimen Dunjia complement his professional skills perfectly.
But as he delves deeper into the instances, Shen Yan discovers that the patterns on the jade pendant perfectly match those on the sacrificial silk manuscript. Could the so-called "eerie rules" be nothing more than an unfinished restoration ritual from a hundred years ago?
"Artifacts don't lie, and rules can be restored, too." Watch an artifact restorer use his expertise for face-slapping against the supernatural and fight his way to survival amid Chinese taboos! In the next forbidden zone, the faceless embroiderer of the Embroidery Tower is waiting for him to uncover the truth...
