Lin Mo, a folklore enthusiast, accidentally transmigrates to a parallel ancient world where supernatural phenomena are commonplace. As the lowest-ranking clerk in the Department of Suppressing Delusions, he is shunned by his colleagues, until they discover that even the most dangerous ghosts and monsters follow a familiar set of "story logic" in his eyes.
While others battle the uncanny with talismans and magical artifacts, he gets to the root of the problem with his knowledge of folklore: resolving obsessions and dismantling rules.
When conspiracies come to light and his colleagues regard him as a heretic, he writes A New Treatise on Suppressing Delusions and founds a new school of "guidance."
When the apocalypse arrives and a hundred ghosts roam the night, his final showdown with the mastermind is no longer a clash of strength, but an ultimate debate over the "origin of strange tales."
