In the fifth year after the spiritual energy was revived, the exercises practiced by everyone in Linjiang City were all relics and fragments. Shen Zhen, the owner of a second-hand bookstore, is the only person in the city with "zero adaptation" and the only person who can read the original text from the scraps of paper and handwriting on the scraps of the scroll - at the cost of permanently losing a piece of memory every time he completes a book.
Surrounding him are the Translation Institute, which monopolizes the right to interpret ancient books, the Jiuxiao Society, which controls the circulation of resources, and the gray market, which secretly accommodates practitioners. Together, they maintain the order of "correct fragments," because incompleteness can continue to generate demand. Bureau investigator Ruan Qing was a fellow traveler he rescued.
The deeper secret: the so-called "recovery" is not the first time. The Translation Academy is aware of this and is deliberately maintaining this cycle. Shen Que guarded the small bookstore "Not for Sale in the Old City" and made up the remaining chapters into complete volumes. What he holds in his hand is the answer, and it is also the hammer that smashes the old order.
