The genius cultural relic restorer Shen Weixi can "see" the memories sealed in the artifacts. She pursued perfect restoration all her life until she met documentary director Gu Lin, a man obsessed with recording real cracks.
A broken porcelain vase hiding a family curse, and an "accidental" fire that had been planned for thirty years drew the two of them into the whirlpool. Wei Xi discovers that it was not only the workshop that his grandfather burned down, but also a truth that must be covered up.
At the same time, freelance photographer Lin Shen and archaeological team leader Xiang Wan explore another form of protection under the yellow sand; mysterious antique dealer Su Jingyi and researcher Chen Mo join forces to trace the fragments of civilization lost overseas in the confrontation between numbers and tradition.
When the ultimate proposition of repair is before us: restore the original perfection, or admit that the crack itself is history? They must give their own answers.
Purpose: In an imperfect world, learn how to create your own completeness.
