This is an absurd satirical epic wrapped in fantasy.
Modern astronomer Lin An accidentally traveled through time and became a candidate for the "High Priest Yinghuo" of the feudal dynasty. In this world, the astrology of "Yinghuo Shouxin" can determine the change of imperial power and the rise and fall of the country, and Lin An knows better than anyone else that the so-called divine punishment from heaven is nothing but a huge scam made of man-made lies.
In order to survive, he had to put on luxurious official robes, use scientific means to package superstition, and personally maintain this crumbling theocratic system. Caught between the vortex of power and the blind obedience of the people, Lin An gradually became the protagonist of the absurd drama from a sober bystander.
"The History of Yinghuo" depicts a world controlled by "man-made miracles" with a cold brushwork. When lies become beliefs, the only truth becomes the biggest heresy. This is not only a story about celestial phenomena and machinations, but also a profound tragedy about how individuals deal with themselves in systemic absurdity.
