Shen Che is a history streamer who specializes in searching for the nameless people left out of the history books.
During a nighttime exploration of Daming Palace, he accidentally stumbled into a piece of history that shouldn't exist.
There were rules here.
Don't answer when someone calls your name.
Don't count everyone in the hall.
Don't bring in anything that doesn't belong to this year.
At first, he thought he had simply entered a forgotten period of history.
Until he realized that the rules here weren't meant to protect the living at all.
They came from different eras. They contradicted one another, yet every one of them was in effect.
Even stranger, the more Shen Che relied on the history he knew to make judgments, the more people disappeared because of it.
He began to wonder:
If the history books were true, then what was this place?
Later, he saw his own name on the wall.
One.
Two.
Three.
And inside the wall were dozens of people exactly like him.
Shen Che finally realized that what he had been searching for might never have been just a piece of history that had been erased.
Someone was using history to redefine who had ever existed.
And his younger sister, Shen Nian, who had vanished three years ago, might have been part of this game all along.
Who wrote history, in the end?
If one day you discovered that the person you were in the history books wasn't the same as the person you truly were, would you still dare to believe in history?
I didn't understand it. I didn't understand much about the background story and introduction, including what happened.
