——Every piece of bronze is a cage to contain gods and demons;
Every page of history books is full of lies stained with blood.
Millennium Curse
Twenty-year-old Jiang Chengying is a genius restorer at the Department of Archeology of Jiangcheng University, but he is burdened with a strange curse—on every new moon night, bronze lines appear on his spine, his left eye reflects the strange beasts in the "Book of Mountains and Seas", and his right eye glimpses the bloody truth that is not recorded in history books. When he repaired the bronze knight of the Western Zhou Dynasty, black blood oozed from the inscription on the knight's body, and he pieced together the secret obliterated in "Historical Records": "King Wu conquered Zhou, not to kill the tyrant, but to kill the gods."
Reflection of gods and demons
Bronze is the bone, and history books are the blade. Jiang Chengying was forced to get involved in the desperate game between the Qintian Prison's Engraving Department and the Eclipse Sect, only to realize that the twenty-four dynasties of China were all "dining tables of gods and demons" - the Jiuding had long been forged into a tool for feeding gods, and the missing word "Ji" on the legendary jade seal became a guide for devouring gods from outside the world. In order to prevent the Eclipse Sect from tampering with the "Zizhi Tongjian" and awakening the evil god Jiuli, he had to use Zhang Heng's seismometer to split time and space, kill the Hun wolf witch with the young Huo Qubing, and accompany the old Li Baijian to challenge the demon moon of Chang'an.
Nirvana
When Jiang Chengying opened the underground palace of the Ming Tombs with his own hands, he discovered that the body of Emperor Yongle was actually integrated with the keel of Zheng He's treasure ship; when he stood under the pear tree in Maweiyi and witnessed the nine tails flying into the air when the white silk around Yang Yuhuan's neck was broken... Only then did he realize that he was the biggest "fallacy" in history - the heart of gods and demons that Xia Qi cut out when he cast the Jiuding was hidden in his spine with the oracle bone inscriptions of King Wuding of Shang Dynasty.
