The Huang Dynasty lasted for a hundred years, and the history books were bright.
Ye Huaishu is the youngest "Yihenlang" in the history prison. He has a secret ability: touching ancient objects can read the memories sealed on them. His duty is to "correct" the memory of the vast cultural relics of the Huang Dynasty - to erase the sorrow, downplay the conspiracy, and polish everything into a "suitable" appearance that is consistent with official history.
For ten years, he believed that he was maintaining the dignity of history.
Until an unusual appraisal, a white jade hairpin from Taizu's era pierced his mind arbitrarily with a cold scene of monstrous floods and desperate attempts to save people. That is completely opposite to the record in "Ode to Pingjiang" that "the emperor's virtue is as great as the sky, and all the people are grateful".
Professional curiosity drove Ye Huaishu to conduct in-depth investigations, only to discover:
The relevant original files have already been "purified";
The boss's admonishment is hidden, and seems to have the shadow of the past;
Fragmentary clues from the public piece together a completely different bloody past.
What's even more fatal is that the "memory reading" ability that he relies on for survival begins to backfire - the buried despair and unwillingness are gradually eroding his sanity.
At the same time, an antique dealer wandering in the gray area came to the door, holding more "out of time" evidence in his hands. And Supervisor Shi's ubiquitous eyes had quietly focused on him.
Should we continue to be a silent "tinker" and maintain the lies that are stable in front of us? Or become a dangerous "revealer", pursuing the truth that may burn everything?
When history books are ink, memories are blood. Ye Huaishu stood at the crossroads of decision-making, and all he touched with his fingertips were traces of blood that had not been wiped away under the ink.
