A bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty stirred up the entire underground antique world.
1997, Drum Tower Alley, Xi'an. A staggered silver bronze mirror engraved with the twelve-cent mythical beast was unearthed from a tomb in the Tang Dynasty, and various forces took action - Mr. Liu, a landowner in Shaanxi, Mr. Jiu, a ruthless leader of the Yu Gang, Mr. Chen, a mysterious Beijing-based broker, and Takahashi, a consortium agent from Japan. Subcontracting, fraud, mergers and assassinations, the 300-meter Antique Street has become a battlefield without gunpowder.
But they didn't know that this bronze mirror was slightly engraved with a list of rebels from the Tang Dynasty, and one of the names still exists in the world today.
Shen Mo, a technician at the Institute of Archeology, has seen this mirror - his mentor was poisoned and silenced three years ago after discovering this secret deep in the Qinling Mountains. Now he returns to Gulou Alley anonymously, just waiting for an answer.
When everyone was snatching the mirror, no one discovered that the real mirror had never appeared in any transaction.
