The Storyteller Beneath the Ink

Shen Yan, a modern restorer of ancient books, finds his soul in the body of a storyteller in Republican-era China, just as the world descends into chaos and nightmare creatures run rampant. Using long-lost storybooks as his tools, he awakens the divine path of storytelling and relies on his younger brother Shen Ci, who shares his body with a spirit. Caught between the Literary Inspection Bureau's pursuit and secret political conspiracies, he refuses to ascend to godhood. With the sound of human stories, he breaks the trap of divinity, protects the people amid the chaos, and ultimately returns to being a street storyteller.
