When history begins to "come alive", the reality you see may be just a footnote written by all things.
Chu Zhao is an ordinary museum researcher who just wants to live a stable life. The biggest worries in his life are his aunt's pressure to get married and the fat cat Yuanbao downstairs who always rubs his cat's food. Until one night shift, the whisper of the Bronze Lord of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the phantom of the Sanxingdui Sacred Tree violently tore his peaceful life apart - with his left eye, he could actually see the strange "story" entrenched on the cultural relics.
He was introduced into a mysterious world maintained by the ancient organization "Langhuan Division". Here, myth may be an encoded program, and the whispers of Cthulhu compete with the strange beasts of "The Book of Mountains and Seas"; here, knowledge, power and even destiny can be traded, and the price may be a certain memory of yours, or a deep-seated emotion.
Facing the "narrative entity" that covets the world, Chu Zhao must form an alliance with the auctioneer who has a "causal contract", the scientist monk who believes in "quantum Buddhism", and his cousin Lin Xiaoxiao who can always create "chaos surprises". And the greedy orange cat Yuanbao seems to have the secret of swallowing "pollution".
From the dark exhibition halls of museums, to hidden auction sites in London, to the ancient abyss of civilizational recursion... Chu Zhao gradually discovered that he himself was the most critical chess piece in this "narrative war" that spanned the east and west, and ran through ancient and modern times.
This is an epic of ordinary people's awakening, and a fantasy journey in which a group of "atypical saviors" use humor, warmth and bond to protect their daily lives in a crazy world.
