[Mystery] [Crime Solving] [Imaginative Premise] [Deduction]
Qiao Yue, a restorer of antiques, keeps a low profile while running an unmarked restoration shop called Buyuzhai on an old street.
Her father mysteriously vanished years ago, leaving no trace of life or death. Everyone was convinced he had died, and Qiao Yue lived with that belief for a long time.
She inherited her father's gift: by touching an old object, she can see fragments of memories sealed within it. But the gift also brings mental backlash and perspectives that make it difficult to tell truth from illusion.
A commission brings a thirty-year-old barber chair to her shop, unexpectedly exposing a fake kidnapping covered up by a collective lie. It also draws Lu Chengan, a mysterious man lurking behind the scenes, ever closer.
From wary tests of one another to an ambiguous game in which they are sometimes allies and sometimes enemies, the two become entangled in one mystery after another involving old objects, gradually tracing her father's disappearance to a secret organization called the Guixu Society.
When every witness falls silent and every piece of evidence is altered, she becomes the only one who can hear the testimony of old objects. She must stake everything, including herself and everyone she trusts, to fight a vast conspiracy brewing for decades amid time and lies, clear the names of the wronged, and give the voiceless a chance to speak...
