Shen Ye, a promising illustrator, hit rock bottom after an accident, and his only solace was his five-year-old daughter Nian Nian. He gave up his dream and became an ordinary single father in the ordinary city "Lancheng".
However, he discovered that his daughter's most cherished book, "A Collection of Unknown Bedtime Stories," was nothing special. Whenever he finished telling a story, the pages faded and turned white. When the last page became blank, a line of cold handwriting appeared on the book: [The story materials have been exhausted. Please go to the designated location to collect new "ruin shadows" and weave a new dream for your princess.
"Shadows of Ruins" - monsters intertwined with obsession, sadness and memory fragments in the forgotten corners of the city. They are the most terrifying nightmares in the world, but they are also the only way for Shen Ye to get new stories.
In order to let his daughter fall asleep with a smile every night, Shen Ye had to transform into a "Collector of Ruins Shadows", holding a drawing board in one hand and a strange weapon that appeared from the storybook in the other, wandering in the shadows of the city.
Others kill demons for the sake of the world, but he just wants to tell his daughter a unique bedtime story.
