Five young people meet because of an ancient copper coin and embark on a magical adventure across time and space. They are: Ethan, a cultural relics restorer; Clara, a researcher of ancient texts; Emily, a chef specializing in intangible cultural heritage cuisine; William, an archaeologist; and Oliver, the team's intellectual strategist. With every touch of an artifact, taste of traditional cuisine, or step into a historical site, they are transported to that era, witnessing the birth and continuation of intangible cultural heritages.
They experience the intricacies of batik dyeing in a wax-printing workshop, learn the secrets of handmade pastries in a century-old bakery, and witness the soul of puppetry behind an ancient opera stage... However, the journey is not without challenges. Lost cultures, vanishing crafts, and forgotten craftsmanship— they must solve the mysteries and uncover the true history.
Through crises and trials, the five support each other, forging deep friendships, while subtle emotions quietly take root. This is not only a journey to trace cultural roots but also a story about choices, responsibilities, and guardianship.
Lost crafts await awakening, and the dedication of craftsmen transcends time. Will you join them on this quest for craftsmanship?
