In the early years of the Republic of China, the wave of alternation between the old and the new swept across the ancient country. The antique business is a mixed bag of good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity. It is not only the birthplace of wealth and legend, but also the Shura field of conspiracy and strife. Externally, there are powerful powers that are eyeing the country, using guns and cannons as the backing to plunder culture; internally, there are infighting among families, peers looking down upon each other, and sectarian divisions as deep as ravines. In this troubled world, vision and skill are the foundation for survival, and the pinnacle of skill is called "Ghost Hand" - a legend that can turn decay into magic and allow dead objects to regain their souls. However, behind the legend lies the scarcity of materials, the jealousy of the clan, the exhaustion of physical strength, and the fragility of the guardians of civilization walking on thin ice in the face of absolute force.
Feng Ye, a soul who traveled from modern times, fell into the bottom of this whirlpool. He became a much-scorned son-in-law of the Su family. He lived in the woodshed and was looked down upon and humiliated. In his previous life, he was a master who devoted all his efforts to repairing national treasures but died with regret; in this life, he has knowledge of cultural relics that transcends the times and "ghost hand" level restoration skills, but he is trapped in this "waste" body. His motivation stems from the unfinished obsession in his previous life and the desire for dignity in this life: he vowed to use these "ghost hands" to protect the artifacts that carry the national memory in the troubled times when the flames of civilization are faltering. His bottom line is engraved in his bones: cultural relics can be broken, but the backbone of the nation cannot be bent; personal lives can be lost, but national treasures must not be lost. This is a forbearing and ruthless man who will use his cultural accumulation and skills from another dimension to carry out a silent and resolute dimension-reducing attack.
