share time: 2026-07-21 09:03:17

Lin Xiaoxia, an intern archaeologist, accidentally unearthed a Ming Dynasty male corpse at a suburban archaeological site, which perfectly matched her family’s ancestral tree—he was Lin Xuan, the grand councilor and Xiaoxia’s great-grandfather who had disappeared for 600 years. What started as a major archaeological discovery took an unexpected turn when Lin Xuan, due to the imperial secret decree seal lost in the tomb, 'awakened' as a spirit, able to communicate with Xiaoxia only remotely. Modern archaeological authorities intended to preserve him for research, leaving Xiaoxia torn between academic ethics and blood ties. She must help her great-grandfather retrieve the secret decree, unravel 600-year-old court secrets, and face subsequent family mysteries, leading to a warm puzzle-solving comedy bridging ancient and modern times.
