The Guardian of Guixu: The Wamao Chronicles

share time: 2026-02-21 00:38:56

Lin Xiaoman, a modern cultural relic restorer, stumbles into "Guixu Market"—a hidden village protecting descendants of a fallen dynasty—while fixing a broken clay cat (Wamao). Gu Zhao, the market’s guardian, is a cold young man sealed by the Wamao’s power, fading as his spiritual energy drains. Xiaoman tries to flee but discovers she’s the only "Contract Spirit" who can save him—and that they were past-life lovers bound to guard the market together. When the power-hungry Regent leads an army to steal the "Market Heart" (a relic that controls the nation’s fate), Xiaoman transforms from a timid nobody into the new market lord wielding the Wamao Seal. Gu Zhao, once aloof, risks his life to shield her. Amidst their sweet bickering, they uncover the twist: "Jiangshan" (the country) was never the dragon throne—it’s every lamp in the market lit for those returning home.
