On Jiangcheng's antique street, Shen Yan, a street vendor fallen on hard times, touches half of the broken jade his grandfather left behind and suddenly hears the ancestral spirits dwelling in the old objects on his stall: a Song Dynasty kiln worker, a Qing bronze craftsman, a Tang Dynasty female physician, a general... They aren't antiques. They're people who still have things left unsaid. Shen Yan no longer sets up his stall just to make ends meet. He helps ancestors from every dynasty distinguish genuine relics from fakes, fulfill their final wishes, and reclaim the names and souls they've lost. But he doesn't know that his grandfather was killed by a tomb-raiding syndicate that steals souls, and that those ancestral spirits are being stolen to forge artifacts. As he finds hidden treasures, dishes out face-slapping, and builds his reputation, he takes on the weight of history and uncovers his family's secrets. With his vendor's hands, he brings the forgotten home, one person at a time.
