Chen Xi thinks his life is pretty surreal.
By day, he’s a top restorer in the Palace Museum’s conservation workshop, lifting thousand-year-old dust with a pair of tweezers. By night, a busted System claiming to be “the resentment of a Song Dynasty painter” forces him to deliver takeout as a “city ghost.”
In his left hand is century-old agarwood from a Xuande incense burner; in his right, spicy hot pot from an office tower. Before his eyes are priceless fragments of ancient paintings, while impatient customers nag him through his earphones to hurry up.
“Ding! Host appears to be feeling down. New task: Use the techniques you apply to restoring A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains to fix a customer’s cracked iPhone screen. Reward: Song Dynasty tea-whisking skills.”
Chen Xi sighs and climbs onto his electric scooter. He has to deliver food in this fast-paced city, while also mending the forgotten fragments of civilization in this restless age.
What he doesn’t know is that the mysterious girl who keeps ordering takeout late at night and lives in the old part of town is waiting with a scalpel, ready to “rescue” him from this crazy world...
This is not just a story about restoring cultural relics. It’s also a story about finding light among the ruins.
It's okay, you can take a look
