The Secret Behind the World Revealed from the Start

As the Sun draws ever closer to Earth, temperatures keep rising and the Antarctic glaciers slowly melt. Once they have melted completely, the strange beasts frozen beneath them will awaken. That will spell the end of humanity.

The young marshal Su Chen and his subordinate A Long, stationed on the battlefield among the stars, are sent back to Earth to avert the great disaster that will strike decades later, when the glaciers melt and the strange beasts awaken. After returning to Earth, Su Chen and A Long establish the Dragon Group, the Paranormal Bureau, and the Hidden Sect in China. They then travel to the United States and establish S.H.I.E.L.D. and Area 51. They set up several secret departments in every country, all in preparation for the strange-beast disaster that will follow the melting glaciers.

Several major entertainment companies in China join forces to launch a big variety show, selecting 100 people to take part. The show mainly films their personal lives and daily routines over six months. At the end, the most popular contestant will win a billion yuan, the runner-up 50 million, and third place one million. The contestants include celebrities and ordinary people from all walks of life. Su Chen is one of them.

The celebrities spend their days singing, making movies, appearing on variety shows, and taking endorsement deals. The others go to work, run businesses, and try to earn a living. Su Chen is the odd one out. He protects humanity, going wherever there's a monster to fight, wherever strange beasts need to be dealt with. Only when people watch the livestream do they learn that monsters exist in the world, and that someone has always been protecting them.

While taking part in the show, Su Chen also reveals the hidden side of the world: the battlefield among the stars, alien flying saucers, the Yingkou falling-dragon incident, the wild men of Shennongjia, the white snake of Changbai Mountain, the pyramids, the Bermuda Triangle, the extinction of the dinosaurs, Nüwa mending the heavens, and countless other secrets...
