Cao Moyan is an ordinary menial servant in the Heavenly Court. Every day, he serves tea to the various immortals and cleans their palaces. He thinks he’ll spend the rest of his life muddling along, until one day he unexpectedly awakens an unbelievable ability: Spatial Lockdown.
He can seal off any space at any time, leaving his enemies unable to move. He can even fold, compress, and distort space. The ability seems to defy the heavens, but Cao Moyan soon discovers that the waters of the Heavenly Court run far deeper than he imagined.
The Fairy of Yaochi has caught the eye of a mysterious figure. Not only is he ruthless, he is also deeply twisted: obsessed with her, he has become consumed by a desire to destroy her because he cannot have her. Cao Moyan had planned to quietly build up his strength, but he is forced into the middle of this turmoil.
“I can lock down space, but I can’t lock down people’s hearts.”
“But I can use space to weave a net with no way out.”
As his investigation deepens, Cao Moyan discovers that the mysterious figure is connected to the highest ranks of the Heavenly Court, and even to the seals holding ancient gods and demons. He cannot help but wonder: Is the ability he awakened just a coincidence, or part of some earth-shattering scheme?
Spatial Lockdown is both protection and prison. And Cao Moyan is moving, step by step, toward the heart of the truth…
