In the modern Age of Declining Dharma, 24-year-old Shen Qingqiu inherited a family heirloom: an old book without words. She resolved strange incidents caused by mythical beasts awakening as a result of the spiritual qi revival. Along the way, she uncovered the beasts' origins, the histories of their sleeping places, and the cultural erasure brought about by the changing times. As she recorded these discoveries, the heroine's influence steadily grew, and she eventually established a cultivation academy where humans and gods governed together in the Age of Declining Dharma.
