Synopsis

[Chinese-Style Infinite Flow + Strange Tales from Ancient Books + Rule-Based Suspense + Six-Person Ensemble]

If you discovered that every classical poem you memorized as a child concealed a loophole from which a living person could never escape, would you dare turn to the next page?

While restoring a damaged page from a Song-era printed volume, ancient book restorer Qu Youyang was dragged into the Nanke realm behind the lines of poetry.

"At Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou," why does the temple bell ring in the middle of the night, and only then?

"May I ask where I can find an inn?" Why does the herdboy only point toward Apricot Blossom Village, never leading the way himself?

"We are all fellow sufferers at the ends of the earth." Are they kindred spirits meeting, or is everyone being forced to acknowledge the same pain?

Once familiar poems develop a crack, words become rules, names become shackles, and stories start demanding living people to complete their endings.

To investigate an old account of mending the heavens left behind by her grandfather, Qu Youyang enters dreamscapes woven from classical poems, ancient books, and legends with five companions, each carrying a past of their own. They must observe, experiment, and bear witness to one another. They must also hold to one principle:

Never answer for someone else. Never decide for someone else. And never use the living to mend the heavens.

But as the pages of the damaged volume come together, they discover...

It isn't people dreaming a Nanke dream.

A city called Nanke is dreaming of them.
