Core Settings
● World view:
The story is set in the shadow of the real world, with the core stage being the "ghost market" - an underground trading network that wanders on the edge of law and morality. Not only antiques are circulated here, but also intelligence, secrets and humanity are circulated.
● Protagonist:
Chen Mo, 32 years old, owner of the "Time Restoration Shop" in the ghost market. He looks decadent and lazy, but actually possesses the dual talents of "absolute touch" and "micro-expression profiling". He can restore the historical truth by touching the tiny flaws of objects, and he can also discern lies by observing the subtle movements of people.
● Core conflict:
In order to find the whereabouts of his missing father, Chen Mo was forced to get involved in the conspiracy of the "Eternal Life" organization. He must use his restoration skills to deal with various forces (smuggling groups, mysterious collectors, undercover police) to repair each "evil object" with a curse or secret.
● Creative highlights:
●Unit drama structure: every 3-5 chapters solve a "restoration commission". Behind each commission is an independent human story (such as a greedy wealthy businessman, an infatuated actor, a revengeful killer). In the end, all clues converge into a main line.
● Film and television visuals: Focus on describing the "macro aesthetics" of the restoration process, making the boring restoration work as thrilling as bomb disposal.
