On the “bright side,” he works alongside the Jinwu Guards, unraveling bizarre cases in the flourishing Tang dynasty and rising step by step;

[Key Highlights]
✅ “Hard-hitting history + dual-mirror fantasy”: Every supernatural event is anchored to a real historical turning point. Cultivation is the process of uncovering secrets, and power comes from the truth.
✅ “Crossing between two worlds + mirror-world power plays”: One case, two solutions. The worlds work together, but every action in one disturbs cause and effect in the other.
✅ An ordinary man rewrites history: From a low-ranking clerk to guardian of the historical veins, he achieves greatness in the end, yet remains nameless in the histories.
