During an investigation into a stone disc suspected of being a fake historical artifact related to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, modern archaeologist Qin Che unexpectedly transmigrates to a fractured world called the Far Wilds. Here, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is not mythology but fragments of history, while the ruins of ancient Western civilizations are remnants left behind by another group of transmigrated civilizations. Three civilizations intersect and collide in the Wilds, giving rise to vast and dangerous systems of source spirits, wild beasts, and ancient divine aspects.
Upon arriving in the Wilds, Qin Che is swept into the escape of Su Ruoli, a young woman of the Qingqiu clan. In a secret realm of the Eastern Wilds, he meets Ling Shuangyue, a cold and formidable young woman of the wild race with the power of an ice phoenix. Later, while sailing the Wild Sea, he is drawn into a struggle for the throne of an ancient Western land and fights alongside Princess Elodie, who was trained in Western military tactics.
As their adventures unfold, Qin Che discovers that both the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the ancient Western civilizations once suffered a "collapse of the source system." Their downfall is history, and the Far Wilds where he now lives is heading toward the same destruction. He must uncover the truth about the "source" and stop the Wilds from shattering. The fates of the three heroines are bound to his. Each represents the hopes and obsessions of a civilization, and amid countless crises and tangled feelings, they are all forced closer to making their own choices.
From surviving in a strange world, to the intersection of civilizations, to the revival of divine aspects and the reconstruction of the world, this story builds a fast-paced yet profound epic aimed at male readers. In the end, Qin Che must make a choice: reshape the world for love and emotion, or sacrifice his mortal identity for the sake of order?
