Lin Yanqiu, a talented scholar in the 28th year of Daoguang's reign, was electrocuted when he touched a copper box and iron wire. He traveled to Jiangzhou in 2008 and possessed the body of a social animal of the same name who had just been dismissed. When he first arrived in a strange modern city, he used his knowledge of ancient literature and his eye for antiques to get acquainted with Zhao Lei, an enthusiastic auto mechanic, Chen Mo, an advertising director, and Su Wan, the owner of an antique shop. Starting from identifying Duan inkstones from the Ming Dynasty, he established himself on the Qingshiban Street in Jiangzhou. While adapting to modern life, he relied on the restoration of ancient books and ancient porcelain to inherit culture. He also gradually developed a relationship with Su Wan as they spent day and night together, opening up a warm life across time and space.
