When the world first opened, words were not ordinary symbols, but "original words" that carried the rules of mountains and seas and connected the vitality of all things - one word determines the direction of streams, one word protects the dryness of grass and trees, and one word stabilizes mountains and rivers. But since the "Book Chaos" appeared in the world, he tampered with the original words and distorted the rules. The turbid mist filled the streams, and the wind of death swept through the wilderness. The once orderly mountains and seas were full of cracks where the rules collapsed.
Chen Yan, a young man from Qingyan Village, has carried half of a bluestone slab with the word "xi" engraved on it since he was a child. He only knew that his father told him before his death that "the word cannot be changed randomly", but he did not know that the stone slab was actually the "defining stone" that protected the original character. A turbidity crisis caused by the wrong carving of the word "brook" allowed him to accidentally awaken the power of the stone slab, and he also met Su Qingci, the word keeper who was holding a bamboo pen and wearing a moon-white shirt.
From then on, Chen Yan walked out of the remote mountain village and embarked on a journey to find the scattered original characters and fight against those who messed up the calligraphy. He will meet a wandering scholar who uses his pen as a sword to protect the rules of the word "cloud"; he will also meet a blacksmith who is guilty of tampering with the word "fire" and is trying to atone for his sin; he will witness the collapse of the ancient village due to the collapse of the word "mountain"; and he will also face the source of the distortion of the rules in the secret realm of the word "sea".
Those who messed up the books were not individuals, but a group of forces trying to control the rules of heaven and earth and reshape the world order. Behind them, there were ancient secrets related to the origin of the original characters. Chen Yan and Su Qingci will carry the writing stone and bamboo pen in the mountains and seas built by words, while repairing the broken rules and uncovering the mysteries left by their fathers. They will protect this world that exists because of words with one stroke.
