   In the same dormitory building, there are several freshmen with different personalities and talents gathered together.

   This is an urban fantasy story about "home" and "protection". When cultural relic restorers, luthiers, martial arts masters, doctors and hackers gather in a courtyard, it is usually the task of guarding the spiritual veins. The setting is novel, and the traditional talismans are cleverly integrated with modern technology. The emotions are delicate, and tears and burning points coexist. It tells us: The most powerful power is not a spell that destroys the world, but the bond between people and the sense of belonging that "my home is where I feel at ease." Laughing to tears, worth reading.
