Wen Wan inherited the used bookstore left by her grandmother and wanted to live a stable life in the store. However, when she was sorting out her first used book, she saw a girl wearing a school uniform from the Republic of China standing next to the book and crying softly.
Only then did she realize that she had inherited not only a shop, but also a pair of eyes that could see the spirit of the book——
Every old book contains the original owner's unfinished obsessions, unspoken confessions, and unexplained grievances.
Others opened stores to sell books, but she opened a store to save spirits.
No divination, no pretense of magic, just relying on the reverberations in the pages, the emotions in the handwriting, and the clues in the souls to uncover the truth buried in time one by one.
As the number of commissions increased, Wen Wan gradually discovered:
The death of her grandmother, the frequent appearance of fragments of banned books, the dark shadow following her secretly, and the "book spirit hurting people" incidents that occurred one after another in the city...
All point to a wordless forbidden book sealed by grandma.
She cannot hide or escape.
Guard the old book shop, exhaust the souls in the books, find out the truth behind grandma's disappearance, and reseal the forbidden book that shouldn't exist.
