Programmer Lin Zhao developed a data analysis program. He thought it was a hobby, but unexpectedly discovered that the program predicted a parameter that should not exist.
That night, an unexplainable anomaly occurred in the community where he lived - an extra layer appeared in the underground garage.
A man named Shen Ye rescued him. Shen Ye told him: The reality we know is supported by eight underlying rules. When these rules are out of balance, cracks appear in reality. And Lin Zhao has become a "perceiver" who can perceive these rules.
Lin Zhao was forced to get involved in this crisis. He, Shen Ye, and two other perceivers—Jiang Li and Ah Jiu—formed a team to explore the truth in each conspiracy.
From mutual suspicion to life and death trust, they not only have to face the crisis caused by the imbalance of rules, but also deal with the division within the human camp. And behind all this, there is an ultimate secret about the previous civilization hidden.
Eight rules, eight conspiracies, an adventure to protect reality.

The structure of the Eight Palaces is exquisitely set up - the space of the Qian Palace, the material of the Kun Palace, the energy of the Zhen Palace, and the information of the Gen Palace. Each volume reveals a corner of the underlying rules of the world. The protagonist Lin Zhao has a solid growth path from an ordinary programmer to a perceptor of the Eighth Palace. Shen Ye's coldness and Jiang Li's calmness each have their own brilliance. The emotional lines are restrained and touching, whether it is Shen Ye's fifteen years of waiting with his parents or Jiang Li's choice to bury himself in the earth's veins, they are all moving. The sense of suspense progresses layer by layer, and the setting of the conspiracy is both scientifically logical and imaginative.
