In the ancient Guixu Village, the custom of "picking up old wealth" has been passed down from generation to generation. Children always chase the copper coins picked up by weasels on moonlit nights, but they do not know that these are the atonement flags of the villagers - every time they pick up one, the sin in the soul will be reduced by one point. Those who do not pay off their sinful debts before the age of eighteen will be reduced to living lamp figurines in the tomb.
As the last generation of inheritors, Chen Yu, Zi Qi and Zi Xi fully expected to escape from the village when they became adults. However, they were forced to get involved in a bizarre debt repayment journey after discovering the truth at the eighteenth-year-old banquet: a lame man named Xuan Hu saved the world. There are three hundred human skins hidden in the medicine cabinet, and each skin is branded with the tattoo of the deceased empress; the empress in lotus clothes only likes children to pick lotus, but she is actually looking for her relatives. The lake Chen Yu is forced to jump into has the auras of countless children sealed. In the Beauty Pavilion, the shopkeeper's abacus is strung with human teeth. The "child-rejuvenating water" that Zi Xi bought with her tears is actually the elixir of thinking. People only live as thoughts, weaving an intelligence network for the shopkeeper to make profits...
