Synopsis

Also known as: "I Restore Cultural Relics in Suzhou: From the Start, I Can Hear National Treasures Whisper"

(This is a book to read slowly. If you’re willing to keep going, it will show you a different world. I dedicate this book to this noisy era as a quiet elegy.)

Ancient porcelain is a slice of time made solid. Restoring ancient porcelain means mending a piece of history that has been altered, erased, and twisted.

Chen Yan is the seventh-generation porcelain restorer in the Chen family, but he bears a strange curse: every national treasure he restores costs him ten years of his life.

His grandfather died guarding a secret. His father blew himself up to protect a list. Now the Glaze Ghost and the Repository Guard Bureau have both come looking for him.

At the cost of his own fate, he fulfills the regrets of people from a thousand years ago and clears his family’s name.

Every living soul has its own face. Fate echoes through time, and each person makes their move.

[PS]:

“The Glaze Ghost said that if I hand over the obsession trapped inside the porcelain, it’ll make sure I live past thirty.”

Chen Yan wiped the blood from his fingertips and gazed calmly into the abyss. “Too bad. I restore porcelain, and uphold the Way.”

This Thread Has Been Overrun With Useless Recommendations

I'm looking for something like The Savior's Lies: The Laws of a Foolish World. Not urban, romance, slice-of-life, dark, overly focused on friendship, or comedy. The protagonist shouldn't be too much of a work in progress; their intelligence and personality should be normal and balanced. I want a vast world, a complex plot, and an original setting. One female lead or no female lead.
