Questioning the Myths

Pangu’s creation of the world was a trap. Nuwa’s creation of humanity was an accident. The war between the Wu and Yao races was provoked. The Investiture of the Gods was a conspiracy. What if everything we believe to be true was deliberately fabricated? What kind of legends would unfold among gods, demons, ghosts, Wu, spirits, Confucians, Buddhists, and Daoists? Su Chen is an ordinary writer of supernatural fiction. After an encounter with a ghost, he discovers that there is something unusual about himself. In a past life, he was a guardian of Dizang, born to face a great calamity. He thinks he must save the world, but it is the world that nearly falls to ruin because of him. The people he trusts have their own motives. The things he sees have all been arranged. Step by step, he walks into a trap, and step by step, he uncovers the truth. All of this was already ordained at the beginning of heaven and earth. The mission he carries was designed by someone else, just like in The Truman Show. He questions everything as he keeps moving forward, yet he can never escape the cage of fate.
