Summary of Chapters 1-60 of "Ningzhou Fog Coast" (500 words)
At the engagement party, Su Wanqiao was publicly humiliated by her mother-in-law. She suddenly saw colored "karma threads" wrapped around everyone's bodies - red means bad things, white means no bad things. She instinctively spoke the truth, and her mother-in-law collapsed on the spot. The price is coughing up blood. A man named Xie Jinghuai handed her a cup of tea and told her: You are the eighteenth truth-teller. Telling the truth will overwhelm your life, and only those who keep the truth can share the backlash.
After that, Su Wanqiao embarked on a double battlefield: while using "information gap + truth" to slap the creditor Song Guoming, the man behind the scenes Gu Zeshen, the audit team Chen Zhengguo, and the old director of the Irregular Affairs Bureau; while tracing the secrets of his grandmother Zhang Mei and his father Zhang Hua. It turns out that grandma was once the strongest truth teller in Ningzhou. Twenty years ago, she jumped into a mineral vein to seal the out-of-control "particle source" and her vocal cords were completely destroyed. My father spent his whole life carrying the backlash for grandma.
Xie Jinghuai's life experience is more complicated: he had his blood drawn by Shen Mei (the founder of the Immortality Project) to create "artificial white", and later killed Shen Mei, and became the Word Keeper with the guilt on his back. He and Su Wanqiao established a 115-day blood contract to jointly bear the pollution value. The truth about the mine emerged: Grandma was not forced to die, but jumped down voluntarily and used herself as a lock to seal Shen Mei's consciousness; her real suicide note specified that the particle source should be released as a public energy source and end the word keeper system.
In the final battle, Shen Mei was resurrected through the body of Zhou Muchen (the emotionless container she created). Su Wanqiao did not fight alone: Song Guoming hacked Shen Mei's account from prison, Zhang Yan cut off the ventilation ducts, Lu Zeming established a medical point, and 1,000 mutual aid association members stood up at the same time
