Lin Xiaoyu thought that her life was already destined - holding an ordinary job at Jingzhu Bookstore, until late one night, she heard the pages of the book talking for the first time.
That's not an illusion.
The silver ring delivered by her grandfather before his death unexpectedly awakened the "power of the book soul" in her body. She can sense the remaining memories and emotions in ancient books - those secrets buried by time, and finally found a listening ear.
However, as she attempts to uncover her grandfather's past, an invisible web tightens.
The pages of the book will reappear in the world, and the bookkeepers have their own thoughts, but the man named Gu Yeshen, Linjiang City's most prestigious business upstart, has another name hidden behind him: "Chess Player."
Why does he know so much about her past?
What kind of power is hidden in the legendary "Book of Vientiane" that allows all parties to fight for it at all costs?
When the layers of the mystery were peeled away, Lin Xiaoyu finally understood: she was never an outsider.
She is the key and the answer.
