There is a "Silent Restaurant" deep in Wutong Lane. It has no signboard, only a wooden sign that has been corroded by wind and rain hangs on the side of the door.
The shop owner Shen Qingzhou is a weirdo. He couldn't hear the noise of cars and horses in the world, but he had a pair of cursed hands. The moment his fingertips touched the old objects, the remnants of memories sealed in the textures would flood into his mind. A broken porcelain cup can tell the sighs of a rainy night eight hundred years ago, a stopped pocket watch will record the time that has been tampered with, and even a burnt mobile phone can hide the late-night cries of a laborer who dare not show others.
People say that he is a magical craftsman who can turn decay into magic; only Shen Qingzhou knows that he is just a prisoner who is forced to listen to lies. He adheres to the creed of "only repairing things, not crossing people" and tries to be an indifferent bystander in this steel forest.
Until that rainy night, Chen Xiaoman, a student from the Academy of Fine Arts, knocked open the store door. She was full of wet smoke and became the only noise in his dead world.
"Shen Qingzhou, the takeaway has arrived. Let's eat first and then cultivate our soul."
As commissions come to the door one after another, the saw marks in the broken red dance shoes, the fibers in the wedding anniversary table, the last words under the burnt page of the picture book... Every old thing is a key, trying to open the door to the abyss of human nature. When Shen Qingzhou finally pieced together the truth about the fire ten years ago, he was shocked to realize that Chen Xiaoman had already used her brush and lens to mend the broken souls one by one.
It turns out that everything has cracks. That is where the light comes in and where sin hides. What he repaired was never the objects, but the crumbling human world.
Concept: unit drama mode, main line suspense. Each story is independent and closed-loop, healing and depressing at the same time.
