When strange rules come to pass, the world falls into a cruel game about the fate of the country. China is in danger due to repeated failures. Top talents suffer heavy losses, the shadow of the golden dragon is dim, and the lifeline of the country hangs on a thread.
Zhuge Ming, a scholar who studies the history of the Three Kingdoms, is actually the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. He clearly knows his identity, and his ambition and unwillingness to conquer Qishan are engraved in his bones. When the country was in crisis, he discovered the "Seven-Star Life-Sustaining Formation" forbidden technique hidden in ancient books. He resolutely used his own soul as a guide to change his destiny, becoming a "fate-defying one" and forcibly entering the world of rules and strange stories.
Just like he did something he knew was impossible in Wuzhangyuan, Zhuge Ming stepped into the game with his own body and stepped into the clockmaker's attic. Faced with the strange clock, the mysterious clockmaker and the unknown rules, he must use his wisdom and courage to fight for a glimmer of hope for China in this life-and-death contest and continue to write the legend of the wise.
