I Collect Antiques in the Famine Years

share time: 2025-10-26 06:01:57

Lin Xiaoman, a modern antique restorer, accidentally travels back to the famine-stricken Republic of China era. Endowed with the ability to 'sense the memories of antiques,' she frantically collects relics scattered in the war—an Ming Dynasty bronze Buddha in a ruined temple, a Song Dynasty celadon hidden in a pawnshop, a Qing Dynasty jade ruyi in a warlord's mansion. She's determined to save these 'talking cultural roots' from the flames of war. But just after acquiring a blood-stained celadon vase, she's pinned against a wall in an alley by Gu Yanzhi, the cold young marshal of a warlord faction: 'Where did you steal the anti-enemy secret letter in this vase?' Lin Xiaoman has to lie about 'communicating with antique spirits' to cover up, while dealing with Gu Yanzhi's relentless pursuit. Worse still, she must carry those 'national memories'—more precious than gold—on her fragile shoulders in a famine-stricken land full of starving people. When the 'crazy woman guarding antiques' meets the 'cold marshal investigating intelligence,' their fates, along with the secret letter in the celadon vase, are already entangled in the national bond of the war-torn era.
