The protagonist, who graduated from the history department, could not find a suitable job in the city, so he had to go back to the countryside and open a small antique buying station, commonly known as "rag collector". However, he has a pair of eyes that can see the "aura" of objects and can distinguish dusty treasures.
What's even more bizarre is that the old objects he collected actually "come alive" at night! Bronze horses from the Han Dynasty would play in the yard, pictures of ladies from the Tang Dynasty would float down to chat with him, complaining that the painter had made her fat, and a broken bronze sword would tell him about the golden and iron horses on the battlefield...
The protagonist not only learns countless hidden historical truths from these "living cultural relics", but also learns various ancient skills attached to them.
When he took the restored "Stepmother Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty" to participate in the treasure appraisal program, all the experts scolded him for fraud because "it cannot be restored so perfectly." The protagonist smiled slightly, because the tripod came to life by himself and he personally told him how to repair it.
