In the "Eternal Night City" that is shrouded in industrial haze and gas lights all year round, steam and gears form the skeleton of civilization, and lurking in the shadows are ancient babbles that mortals cannot understand.
This is an era driven by precision machinery, and it is also an era in which sanity may be torn apart at any time by unknown existences deep in the universe. People believe in the order and rationality enshrined in the "Steam Temple", but they don't know that every roar of the boiler may become a wake-up call to awaken the sleeping ancient god.
Ye Linan is a "relic organizer" whose job is to identify, contain and seal items contaminated by "abnormal resonance". He has an innate "talent" - the ability to hear the "noise" of disorder in all things, which makes him a leader in this field, and also allows him to walk on the edge of madness all the time.
During a routine containment mission, he accidentally came into contact with a forbidden relic from the "pre-ancient era" - a never-ending astrology. The gears of fate were quietly meshing at this moment, and he was involved in a grand destiny that spanned several eras. Broken prophecies, sunken cities in the deep sea, the scarlet moon burning in the sky, and the "rusted throne" looming in the sea of thousands of gears...
The "noise" he heard was not pure pollution, but the prelude to his destiny written for him by "He" from outside the universe. In this preset drama, Ye Linan is the destined protagonist and the only sacrifice.
