Ning Zhi, a bronze restorer, did not believe in curses until she personally repaired the cracks in a Han Dynasty bronze mirror. The colleagues reflected in the mirror "disappeared" one by one within seven days - not dead, but having all traces of their existence erased, as if they had never lived. She discovered that what she was repairing was not the artifact, but the "unfinished killing order" in the ancient Wu Nuo ritual. Every cultural relic that passes through her hands is a logical curse with incomplete seal. If it is restarted, it will kill people. In order to survive, Ning Zhi must partner with folklorist Zhou Mu to return to abandoned archaeological sites, tomb robbing black markets, and underground Nuo temples, using X-ray flaw detection and welding guns to fight against millennium taboos. And a mysterious group that calls itself "Contemporary Nuo Masters" is waiting for her to use repair technology to complete the last ritual artifact - which will start the Nuo Festival covering the entire city. This is a life and death race using modern technology to dismantle ancient programs. It is also the most terrifying dialogue between a person and an artifact.
