Is what is carved by the carving knife a life-saving charm or a curse that urges one to die?
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Lin'an City. Lin Fan, a top student in modern media, accidentally traveled through time and became the young owner of a printing house that was on the verge of bankruptcy. The family is surrounded by walls and the creditors are closing in.
In desperation, he picked up the engraving knife and tried to make a living by printing tabloids with modern knowledge. Unexpectedly, the layout and design that transcended the times attracted peeping eyes in the dark.
The mysterious police officer Zhao Sheng came uninvited and threw a vicious political slander picture in front of him. If you dig it, all the nine tribes will be destroyed; if you don't dig it, you will be killed on the spot.
Lin Fan held the carving knife in his hand and stood on the edge of the cliff of fate. Before the ink is dry, the murderous intention has arrived. In this era where words can kill people, how can he use his hands and a set of words to find a way out of the stormy waves in Lin'an City?
The world is printed in ink, and every word is shocking. A life-and-death game about public opinion and power is quietly beginning in the dark.
