High above the human world, the [Myriad Phenomena Selection Space] hangs over all things, transcending the ages and the flow of time.
It gathers every vanished civilization, lost official history, obscure folk custom, mythology from East and West, and forgotten ancient kingdom.
Every ruin-realm is a true past distorted by time, where sinister mysteries and sins have taken root.
After endless journeys through the ruin-realms of the Myriad Phenomena Selection, Shen Yan has learned to calculate the cost of everything first.
He is used to hiding behind a gentle facade, to planning and weighing every move. He believes everyone who enters a realm is there to use one another and get what they want.
That is, until he meets Lu Jin.
The man has an uncanny instinct for spotting lies. Though he sees through Shen Yan's layers of disguises at a glance, he still keeps coming closer, one step at a time.
Miasma from a remote village creeps across the stone-paved streets, while the shadow of a paper umbrella blocks the way home.
One calculates every human heart; the other follows his instincts.
It turns out that the one thing in a ruin-realm that cannot be calculated
is the willingness to give your heart.
