Others appraise antiques by their patina to determine their age. Lin Ye touches an artifact and hears five thousand years of voices.
The kiln worker inside a Ming dynasty porcelain bowl says he ruined the firing. A Southern Song general inside a tiger tally has waited for eight hundred years. Newton's prism has trapped a ray of light. The last flying apsara in a Dunhuang painter's work remains unfinished.
Every antique has something left unsaid. Lin Ye gives a piece of orange candy to every person forgotten by history.
Until one day, he sees another self in the mirror: the one who bears all his pain for him.
The whole world is hunting the "Echo Thief." No one knows who he is. Not even he does.
