Nie Yiming is the internet's biggest paranormal streamer, and the only one who uses real abilities to pull off his hoaxes.
An inheritor of Xiangxi exorcism arts, he bears a soul mark on his arm that can suppress evil and seal ghosts. After three years of livestreaming and fooling millions of fans, he plans to retire after one last job.
But during that final stream, he fails to trigger his mechanism, and something beneath the water surfaces on its own.
Millions watching online see him turn deathly pale and recite a spell even he doesn't know. Gong Jiaxin, a science debunker, stares at the waveform data exploding across her screen. For the first time, instead of posting a breakdown video, she sends him a private message: Stop reciting it.
He needs her to put an end to everything. She needs the truth to solve the mystery her father left behind.
A fraud who uses real abilities to stage fake acts, and a debunker who uses science to dismantle the supernatural, collide amid the thousand-year countdown to the collapse of the Nuo Ancestor's seal.
From ancient tombs in Xiangxi to Nuo villages in Yunnan, from stone halls in Guizhou to Nyingchi in Tibet: twelve hubs, two secret organizations, and a war that begins with debunking a livestream and escalates into a battle to reshape the supernatural order.
And the soul mark on his arm tells her: This woman is the key to unlocking everything.
It's super good-looking. Gong Jiaxin and Nie Yiming are happy enemies. One is a faker and the other is fighting against counterfeiting. The design is good. What's more, the most surprising thing is that it uses metaphysics and supernatural elements as anti-counterfeiting elements to promote things that are unknown and cannot be explained by science. It is indeed a highlight. Recommended for everyone to check it out.
"Pretending to write about a banned book to gain popularity, but in the end the contents of the book come true one by one" is the core selling point, and the suspense of the interweaving of fiction and reality is full. Conflict is created at the beginning: the protagonist is just playing tricks and making up strange plots, but in reality, strange events happen simultaneously, which naturally brings a sense of tension and curiosity, and leaves enough motivation to follow the story at the beginning. It's so exciting to read! The dual control of suspense and romance makes it impossible to stop. Wow, this book is so beautiful! The atmosphere in the opening chapter was immediately full. With the fog, underwater dummies, and infrasound equipment in Fujiaotan, I seemed to be standing beside the pool with Nie Yiming. The best thing is the dual perspective switching. I want to see how Nie Yiming designs this "final scam", and I also want to see how Gong Jiaxin exposes him step by step. This sense of confrontation between friends and foes is too much for me. The writing is very fluent, the descriptions are vivid and not verbose, and it is very comfortable to read. Nie Yiming's character creation makes me love and hate him at the same time - he is obviously a liar, but he has his own bottom line and trauma. The complex psychology of "I want to destroy myself" makes me curious about what he has gone through. Although there is no love line yet, I have begun to look forward to whether there will be some different sparks when the two people meet. In short, I am definitely following this book!
