My name is Lin Chengyan, and I am a down-and-out restorer of old objects in Taipei.
My sister Lin Wanqing disappeared mysteriously for three months, leaving only a strange pocket watch that could not be repaired.
The moment the pocket watch shattered, I was pulled into a dead space that only existed among old things - the Secret Pavilion of Old Things.
There are no ghosts here, just death rules written on old things.
If you violate the law once, you will be hunted by strange people; if you violate the law twice, you will be chased to death.
Those who travel with each other are deceitful, and human nature is worthless in the face of life and death.
Some people survive by hiding, and some rely on betrayal to survive, but I can only rely on the repair skills passed down from my ancestors to change my fate.
Repair the clock and reverse the swallowed time;
Repair wood carvings and get rid of the parasites of living creatures;
Repair letters and see through the traps behind words.
As each strange thing is repaired, the phantom of my sister appears frequently, and the truth about my grandfather's disappearance comes to light. And the Pavilion Spirit who controls all this actually has a century-old blood feud with my Lin family.
This is not a survival game;
It is a fateful redemption that uses old things as chess and rules as swords.
What I want to repair is not just old things;
There are also relatives taken away by Gui Pavilion, and a cursed life.
