Lin Feng, a modern man who is familiar with "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", unexpectedly traveled through the bizarre world of monsters and ghosts because of an ancient book. Lin Wangyou, a penniless scholar, woke up in a deserted temple and tomb, surrounded by fox whispers and ghost fires. Relying on his familiarity with the plot of the original work and the monster's weaknesses, he barely escaped from the deer demon and blended into the human town as a "replacement identity", but was forced to be involved in the first mystery case - the "Painted Skin" shock. From fighting wits with the Painted Skin Ghost to visiting Lanruo Temple at night, from befriending Yan Chixia to dealing with Nie Xiaoqian, Lin Feng gradually discovered that this world is not only a replica of the Liaozhai story, but also hides the crisis of imbalance in the way of heaven. Forced to become the "mediator" between the yin and yang realms, he used modern thinking to break the situation and used the methods of demons and ghosts to fight back. He was actually hired by the underworld as a temporary official to guide the three realms. However, the love of the fox clan, the pursuit of the Taoist priests, and the conspiracy of the underworld followed one after another. When the truth behind the time-travel was slowly revealed - it turned out that the ancient artifact chose its owner and ordered him to reorganize the order of the three realms. Lin Feng had to face the final choice: return to the mediocre life of modern times, or stay here and make a living for monsters, humans and ghosts. This is a survival game where knowledge is more important than the strong. It is also a mortal who rewrites the destiny epic of "Liao Zhai" in a strange world with friendship, wisdom and courage.
