Chen Wang transmigrates to the end of a dynasty called Dayan and is forced to bind himself to the Historical Observer System. The System's mission: watch without intervening, record the final hundred years of the dynasty's decline, and then return to the modern era. Interfering with history in any way is strictly forbidden. Violators will be punished with "consciousness stripping."
Thus, he becomes history's "recorder," touching the pulse and decay of the age with his pen. He records the starving corpses, the songs and revelry, and the cycle of "when the realm flourishes, the people suffer; when it falls, the people suffer."
He thinks he can remain a bystander forever, until he meets the real people struggling in the dust.
When a name in his notebook belongs to a girl before his eyes, about to be "eaten as food," and the System's warning rings sharply in his mind... Should he remain a safe observer, or risk everything to kindle a tiny spark in this dark history?
This is a brutal struggle between reason and feeling. The song is not yet over. Will the East see a glimmer of light because of his "forbidden" act?
