Lu Zhaochen is a monument builder in Qibei City, making a living by repairing broken monuments.
On the eve of the Desolation Festival, he unexpectedly awakens [Zhaogu] - as long as he touches the ruined monument, he can see the history that has been erased by the years, and even fight with the methods of the ancients. But he also saw two names on this wordless tablet: his father who had been missing for seven years, and himself who died tomorrow night.
In order to change his life and find his father, he escaped from the city with Tuoxia's list and plunged into the wasteland where the ancient era was buried. The Immortal Sect wants him to die, and the Dynasty wants him to shut up. Only the dead souls in the ruined monument are lending him strength.
Every time he sees a piece of truth, he becomes stronger and closer to "forgetting who he is".
When the eternal old laws reappear in the world, Lu Zhaochen only asks one question: Let a few people decide what to remember for all sentient beings, or should everyone see the past with their own eyes?
