Beiping Liulichang, Yunhan Pavilion.
Twenty-year-old Ye Zhiqiu is the youngest shopkeeper on this street and the only female shopkeeper. Before his death, her grandfather left her a shop, half of the remaining music, and a sentence: "Utensils are silent, but in the hands of the right person they can speak."
The people she was waiting for came one after another - the warlord asked about the earrings of the maid in the painting of Han Xizai's Night Banquet, the wealthy businessman locked up the painting of Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains but sat looking at it every night until dawn, and the widow of a diplomat dug out half of the blood-stained secret file of lost cultural relics from her husband's belongings. There are also female scholars who have returned from studying in France, Japanese antique dealers who are pressing every step of the way, as well as framers, drugstore masters, noodle shop proprietresses, and librarians - they all enter this non-business antique shop in their own way.
Ten national treasures, ten eras. The Jade Clothes with Golden Threads, the Night Banquet of Han Xizai, the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, the Changxin Palace Lantern, the Sanxingdui Bronze Mask, the Seal of Duguxin, the Qujing Plain Single Clothes, the Good Woman and the Jade Phoenix, and the Yue King Goujian's Sword - they woke up from the ground, experienced wars and changes, and were laid out in front of the twenty-year-old Ye Zhiqiu one after another.
What Ye Zhiqiu wants to do is not to hide them or sell them, but to find the "most suitable witness" for each artifact. But she gradually discovered that every move she made was rewriting the fate of the national treasure, and every choice she made answered her grandfather's question: Who is waiting to see the artifact after thousands of years of existence?
In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, the eve of the collapse of mountains and rivers. A girl's way of identifying things, and a group of people's way of keeping things. There are no emotional lines, only objects and people's hearts.
