While reading an old copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas left by his grandfather in his rented apartment, ordinary college student Ji Yutu falls into a dream and transmigrates into the true world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He lands in the small tribe of Siyou on the shore of the Eastern Sea. From a bookish weakling who cannot even lift a chicken, he rises step by step to command the myriad mountains and beasts and become the King of Men. Then he wakes from the dream, unable to tell reality from illusion.
