Synopsis

Lin Du, a restorer of ancient paintings, discovers that every painting imprisons a soul consumed by lingering obsessions.

The little ghost in the Zhong Kui painting cries out for justice. The woman in red in the Night Revels painting has waited a thousand years. The orange cat in the Elderly Portrait turns living people into butterflies to keep it company.

While others restore paintings with paste, Lin Du does it with his life. He enters the paintings, confronts the obsessions, and helps the souls cross over so the paintings can be restored.

The price is that each time he uses his power, his body becomes a little more like a painted world. Ink creeps up his arms, memories are eroded by his past life, and he can no longer tell whether the red-clad demoness beside him is waiting for him or for the painter from twelve hundred years ago.

Only after the final painting is stitched up does he realize:

He is not the one restoring the painting.

He is the painting being restored.
