Protagonist: Ye Zhiqiu
· Public identity: At 28, he is the youngest restorer at the Palace Museum's conservation lab and deputy head of the bronze restoration team. Socially anxious, mildly obsessive-compulsive, and calloused fingers.
· Hidden identity (golden finger): During a restoration, he was struck by lightning (or exposed to some kind of radiation device) and gained the ability of “psychometry.” When he touches a cultural artifact, he can see the last memory of its maker, or the artifact's “finest hour” and the moment it was destroyed.
· Personality: He is neither a hot-blooded fool nor a cold-blooded killer. He believes in “restoring the old to look old,” and is as steady as still water. But once he enters a state of “psychometry,” he can instantly become delirious or burst into tears, because he experiences the artifact's entire life. (You can use the “cognitive bias” technique from your image here: seen through his socially anxious perspective, the clamor of a banquet sounds like the wails of countless lost artifacts.)
