He accidentally discovered half a bamboo slip with the words "Ji Gu Pavilion" and became involved in an old case that had been dusty for ten years. Ten years ago, when Jigu Pavilion of Jiangnan Bookstore published the "Spring and Autumn Classics", it was accused of "transgressing the sacred scriptures" and the engraving was burned. Shen Yanzhi's mentor Zhou Yanru was also demoted for "privately engraving banned books". Shen Yanzhi did not believe his mentor's crime, and followed the clues on the bamboo slips to gradually uncover the truth: the so-called "infringement" was actually an excuse, and what was really feared were the historical facts about the founding of the People's Republic of China that were included in the book and tampered with by powerful officials. In order to restore the historical truth, Shen Yanzhi, Mao Ke, the young master of Jiguge Pavilion, and others worked together to find the authentic engravings that had been split and hidden.

The engravers who guarded the engravings either died or went into exile, but they always adhered to the belief that the truth would be revealed. Shen Yanzhi and others finally chose to hand-copy, re-engrav, etc., To spread the concealed history in another form, showing the persistent struggle of small people to protect the truth and resist injustice under the suppression of power, and explored the profound connection between historical truth and power games, individual persistence and the current of the times.
