In the shadow of the bustling city, ancient legends and modern technology quietly collide. Lin Jianshen, the owner of a Buddhist bookstore, lives a lazy life but holds multiple identities and has insight into the hidden connections in the city.
A series of bizarre events led Jiang Xun, a consultant to the city's criminal police team, to step into his bookstore. This criminal psychology expert who firmly believes in scientific rationality has to seek answers from the mysterious shop owner when faced with phenomena that cannot be explained by logic. At the same time, technology giant Zhou Mu, under the perfect mask of a philanthropist, is quietly collecting abnormal energy in the city and promoting dangerous plans.
When the clumsy clerk Chen Mo in the bookstore and the erudite and wise folklorist Su Lan are involved one after another, a wild race about the truth begins. Lin Jianshen and Jiang Xun formed an incredible partnership, tracing clues at the intersection of science and metaphysics, and gradually uncovering the fog shrouding the city.
In this battle of intelligence and belief, everyone brings their own secrets and purposes. And when all the clues point to a shocking truth, they must make a choice: uncover the city's deepest secrets, or let it continue to hide between light and shadow?
