Shen Qingzhou, a restorer of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, has the power of "knowing spiritual things by touching them" and can read the memories carried by ancient objects. Three years ago, his partner Qin Lie "rebelled" during a mission and pushed him into a crack in the other world, causing him to lose his memory for two years. Three years later, on a rainy night, the "dead" Qin Lie appeared in front of him covered in blood, followed by the "painting evil" crawling out of the blood-oozing ancient paintings.
In order to find out the truth, the two were forced to join forces. Shen Qingzhou uses the hands of a restorer to repair "contaminated" antiquities and solve bizarre cases caused by painting evil spirits, porcelain spirits, jade figurines and other artifact spirits; Qin Lie uses the ruthlessness of a crisis management expert to clear obstacles for him. From the rainy night in the Forbidden City to the secret chamber of Dunhuang, from the oracle bones of the Yin Ruins to the sunken ship in the South China Sea, they shuttled between the real world and the other world. In the process of restoring cultural relics, they gradually pieced together the shocking conspiracy of the "Night Watch" organization - someone attempted to use the "spirit" in the ancient artifacts to open a passage to another world, turning reality into the nourishment of the "other world".
Qin Lie's "rebellion" back then was actually to protect Shen Qingzhou from being silenced by the organization. In the test of life and death, the two went from mutual suspicion to mutual trust, from "I want to kill you" to "I only believe in you." In the end, Shen Qingzhou used himself as a sacrifice to repair the destroyed "wall of the world". Qin Lie held the unconscious man in his arms and whispered in the dawn: "This time, I will wait for you."
Purpose: Use the restoration of cultural relics as an incision to show the charm of traditional culture and convey the themes of "protection" and "redemption" - true restoration is not only to repair artifacts, but also to repair the rifts in people's hearts and the world.
