Shen Qingyan, the youngest restorer in the Cultural Relics Bureau, is also the last immortal in the world.
For three thousand years, she has been hidden in the world of mortals. With a pair of eyes that can "see through all things", she has meditated on history and enjoyed her loneliness. Until Lu Zheng, the captain of the criminal investigation, came to the door with an ancestral compass that rotated in the middle of the night - on it was printed the blood contract she had made three hundred years ago. The contract is being eroded, and Lu Zheng actually carries the soul mark of his old friend General Xing.
At the same time, the bronze tripod excavated from a Han tomb in the western suburbs is engraved with strange patterns that are the same as the origin of her immortality; the elegant auction house heir Zhou Muyu carries a heavy mission to find her for generations; and in the dark, an organization called the "Bone Picking Society" is frantically collecting the tokens she left behind over the long years, trying to open a rift that can subvert the world.
When promise and crisis knocked on the door at the same time across time, Shen Qingyan understood that the long wait must end. From the unfinished trust in the war of the Republic of China, to the clear trust of the young Taoist Priest of Longhu Mountain, to the hidden edge of the landlady deep in the city... She is no longer a passerby of history.
This time, she will take charge of the game.
Use immortality as a blade to slash at the moving shadows;
Use old objects as keys to unlock forgotten promises.
Even if the price is to sink into deeper loneliness again, she is willing to fight to the end for this ray of human fireworks that shines into eternity.
The final chapter of the legend is written today.
