Lin Yan picked up a jade cong at a museum, and then he was transported.
Not through time, but into the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with a short-tempered “Quanshu” bound to him. It's an ancient divine beast that breathes fire and has a vicious tongue.
He becomes an “anchor” between two worlds, but the price is that his lifespan begins to count down.
To survive, he must join the Bureau of Shan Hai Legends, a department devoted to dealing with all the chaos mythical beasts cause in the real world.
