"Nine Tribulations Arrive" synopsis: "Nine Tribulations Arrive" tells the story of Chen Mo, an ordinary high school student who accidentally gets involved in a secret that spans time and space. On the surface, he appears to be a student struggling with daily life, but in fact he has the blood of a "spiritual guardian". The star map scar on his chest is connected to the Kunlun Holy Fire, and he has a symbiotic bond with the mysterious black cat "Shadow".
A sudden change made Chen Mo discover that the world around him contained hidden weirdness: flying deliverymen, talking cats, repeated time loops, and layers of conspiracies surrounding "time parasitoid wasps" and "mother nests". The ancient books left behind by his mother, the clues before his father disappeared, and the memory cage hidden in the supernatural high school involved him, Lin Wanqiu, the ice crystal ability user, Zhang Hao, who mastered the mysterious thread-bound book, and others. They formed a team of seven to gradually uncover the secrets of the three-hundred-year contract between the ghost watcher and the Shadow Clan and the Nether Clan.
They shuttle between reality and memory, the Kunlun ruins and the school laboratory, fight against the reverberation of time and space named "Observer", decipher key clues such as "time capsule" and "mirror of destiny", and face the cruel truth that "the guardian is an undercover agent of the netherworld" amid the pull of family, friendship and blood curse. When the group of seven gathered the tokens, they discovered that the cost of breaking the closed loop was far beyond imagination - the ultimate sacrifice of the Shadow Clan, the forced fusion of the bloodlines of the two races, the secret of the seventh person hidden on the empty chair... Every choice made is related to the balance of time and space, and the real enemy may be the "failed self" in countless time and space.
The story repeatedly switches between daily life and weirdness, not only the youth and fetters of high school students, but also the fateful struggle spanning a hundred years, exploring the idea that "power itself is not good."
