Shen Zhiyan took over the "Jieyan Shop" where his grandfather had been missing for half a year. He has a pair of "win-weary eyes" - he can see the "win-weary marks" attached to objects, homes, and people, and can clearly see who cast the spell, why it was cast, and when it backfired.
Someone was combing their hair in the old mirror next door in the middle of the night. He looked and saw a green and red mark floating behind the mirror, entwining the figure of a stranger. The photo was enlarged, and the hand stretched out in the mirror had a copper buckle stuck between the nails - exactly the same as the one in his grandfather's old box. The label reads: Shen Shouzhuo, 1968. But grandpa, he died half a year ago.
From then on, a series of commissions came to the door: the mirror listens to the stand-in, the stone is broken, the golden silkworm is entangled, the ghost marriage is replaced... Each one is a folk custom, and there is an unexplained cause and effect hidden behind each mark. He hurriedly unblocked it before the backlash, and slowly understood his own life experience in each stroke of "seeing clearly" -
Why are there exactly seven evil spirits nailed to the seven directions in the city?
Why do those people who are tired of winning seem to be directed at him?
He never infringes, so why is he always paying someone's debt?
The things that grandpa had suppressed all his life were waking up from under the ground.
