Weird stories about rules + national customs + wits + group portraits + tears and laughter
When Jiang Che touched the Warring States Bronze Cauldron, his world split into two. On one side is the ordinary daily life of museum interns, on the other side is a strange restricted area full of deadly rules. "You must not look at the exhibits for more than 3 seconds" - when the first rule emerged, the eyes of the Tang Dynasty pottery figurines were moving with his figure.
After being drawn into this world of rules sealed by ancient artifacts, Jiang Che discovered that every restricted area was a carefully designed death game. The midnight staircase will swallow up memories, the corridors of the Forbidden City fold the spaces of different dynasties, and the Dragon Palace that violates the laws of physics sleeps at the bottom of the Yellow River... And his "Destiny System" is actually the last fire left by the ancients.
After teaming up with retired rule master Lao Zhou, Jiang Che gradually saw the truth: the twelve artifacts connected together were not only a seal, but also a screening test spanning five thousand years. When the "Rule Hunters" organization begins to artificially create restricted areas, and when teammates face their deepest fears in the illusion, Jiang Che must make a choice - to become a puppet of the rules, or to rewrite the underlying logic of this distorted world?
From interpreting rules to creating rules, from inheritor of treasures to founder of a new order, this road is full of temptations more terrifying than death: when you have the power to rewrite reality, how can you ensure that you will not become the next "rule hunter"?
