At the most inconspicuous stall in Jiangcheng Antique City, history student Lin Yan paid 200 yuan for a rusty copper seal.
He thought he just picked up a small leak, but he didn't expect that a soldier who had guarded the city for two thousand years was trapped in the copper seal. That night, he saw the city destroyed, arrows raining, blood and fire, and he also heard the words "defend the city" that traveled through two thousand years.
From now on, old things are no longer just old things. In the abacus there is a meticulous accountant, in the bronze mirror there is a girl who has been waiting for seventy years to be married, in the broken sword there is a knight who has cried out for two hundred years of injustice, and in the old kiln there is a craftsman who has been firing porcelain all his life. They are not ghosts, they are just too obsessed and trapped in time for so long that they forget that they can leave.
What Lin Yan wants to do is never to conquer demons.
He is just a light. A lamp slowly lights up between the dark night and old things, illuminating thousands of ways back again.
And the old secret about the "Lampkeeper" from thousands of years ago was slowly coming towards him with a copper seal, an abacus, and a lamp.
