"I can restore any ancient painting and uncover secrets that have been sealed for hundreds of years - but every time I restore a painting, I lose one year of my life."
Shen Linlang possesses the miraculous skill of "entering into paintings" and can enter the world in ancient paintings and glimpse the truth buried by time. As the last "bone painter" of the Shen family, she hides in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and makes a living as an ordinary framer.
Until one day, the Jin Palace sent a broken picture of "Fishing Alone on the Cold River". Behind the scroll, there is hidden the real reason for the collapse of the previous dynasty - and the truth about the destruction of the entire Shen family.
Gu Yanzhi, the cold-faced painter who was ordered to monitor, appeared to be a retainer of the Jin Dynasty palace, but in fact he was the spy installed by the court. He discovered clues in the painting that could subvert the current dynasty, but as he approached the truth step by step, he became unintentionally tied to Shen Linlang.
The people behind the scenes set up a serial killing scheme: a "Picture of Colorful Clothes and Feathered Clothes" can drive viewers into madness, and a "Picture of Luo Shen Fu" can control people's minds. The mysterious organization "Mo Pavilion" has also surfaced, and the "painting demons" they raise can kill people invisible in the paintings.
When the last trump card was revealed, Shen Linlang realized that she was not the only survivor of the Shen family, and what she had been drawing was her own destiny that had been tampered with.
The painter enters the painting; the person who looks at the painting becomes the painting.
