The Silent Regret in the Light

The light-picking and restoration shop deep in the old alley hides the city's most secret regrets. Lin Yan is a well-known restorer of old objects in the industry. His fingertips can bring new life to damaged old objects, but he cannot repair the memory of when he was three years old - his mother "accidentally" fell into the water and died, leaving only a worn brass pocket watch. When he was eighteen years old, he cut open the rusted movement of a pocket watch, and his powers suddenly awakened: by touching old objects that carry strong emotions, he could see the most heart-wrenching silent regrets of the previous owner. A faded embroidered handkerchief reflects the unspoken confession of a lady from the Republic of China; a broken pen hides the unwillingness of a poor student to miss out on a prestigious school; an oxidized wedding ring records the togetherness that failed to materialize during the war... He restored old things and pieced together the regrets of others, until the pocket watch became hot again, reflecting the strange scene of his mother on the night before she fell into the water - she was not an accident, but was pushed into the river! The pocket watch is the only clue, and old objects are silent witnesses. While Lin Yan accepted bizarre restoration commissions and unlocked tear-jerking regretful stories, he followed the guidance of his supernatural powers to trace the truth behind his mother's death. But as the investigation deepens, he discovers that his supernatural powers, his mother's death, and even his life experience in foster care are all closely related to the secret behind the pocket watch. Are those regrets hidden in time the glimmer of redemption or the bait of the abyss?
