Shen Yan, a modern artifact restorer, transmigrates into a ruined world where "anything can become a spirit, and ancient artifacts carry their own sins." He is the only person in this world who can see the "bloodshed, curses, and resentment" clinging to objects.
"What others see as deadly cursed artifacts are just relics waiting to be restored in my hands."
Starting as a menial worker at the Office of Suppression, he solves the haunted bronze mirror case, stops the massacre caused by a demon-slaying blade, and takes ancient artifact spirits as his servants. When the truth of history is maliciously rewritten and the world-ending black mist once again blankets the sky, Shen Yan raises the hands that have restored countless things.
"History is a lie. Ancient artifacts are the truth. This time, I will clear civilization's name."
The mastermind laughs wildly, holding the world hostage. Shen Yan opens his Genesis Double Pupils, and the phantom of an entire ancient civilization appears behind him.
"I won't cultivate immortality or become emperor. I am this world's last master craftsman, civilization's sole restorer and judge."
