Lin Shen, who was studying in Beijing, accidentally picked up the yellowed "Sui Shi Guang Ji" among the old books. He thought it was an ancient book recording festival customs, but he didn't know that it was the key to the taboo world. A car accident on his way back home caused his consciousness to fall into a parallel time and space - here, the once-familiar festivals turned into a life-devouring abyss, and there were fatal taboos hidden behind every celebration.
The original owner of the body with the same name died for violating the taboos of the Lantern Festival. Lin Shen survived by relying on a few words in an ancient book, and then stepped into this strange world where "festivals are doom". The river lanterns on the Ghost Festival cannot be touched, the three red candles must be burned when staying up on New Year's Eve, and one must never turn back when going on an outing during the Qingming Festival... He has learned the mysteries of ancient books through his brushes with death again and again, and turned the power of the festival into his own use.
When human civilization is on the verge of collapse due to the raging taboo, and the mysterious shadow deep in the restricted area is ready to move, Lin Shen, with his unknown identity as a time traveler, holds the mysterious ancient book, and embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about the world and rewrite destiny. The origin of "Sui Shi Guang Ji" and its inextricable connections with the world are waiting for him to explore step by step.
