During the Dajing Dynasty, there was peace for a hundred years, and both civil and military achievements reached their peak. However, under the prosperous times, there are undercurrents. Inside and outside the palace, several unbelievable and strange events occurred one after another: courtiers who disappeared mysteriously, ancient songs heard in the middle of the night, and folk legends about the reappearance of "weird beasts from the mountains and seas". These visions were completely different from the official historical records, and were regarded as nonsense by the court or deliberately covered up.
Lu Li is a quiet and restrained Hanlin Academy official whose family was once convicted of collecting taboo records. He inherited the family's special talent - the ability to perceive and interpret ancient traces and visions that ordinary people cannot understand. He firmly believes that those dusty "Hidden Records" are not false, but record the truth that has been forgotten by history. When a series of mysterious cases involved him, Lu Li realized that these were not isolated incidents, but signs of the resurgence of some ancient power. In order to uncover the mystery and prevent a catastrophe that may overturn the world, he must use his extraordinary wisdom and talent to travel between temples and rivers and lakes, explore the truth behind the strange news, and deal with those forces who attempt to exploit or cover up the truth.
