Deep in the Xingyun Canyon at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, the archaeological team discovered a Yin Shang bronze stele engraved with the dual totems of the twenty-eight stars and the zodiac. Chen Mo, a cultural relic restorer who was born in the year of Ox and Virgo, was involved in this life-and-death mystery that spans three thousand years because of his natural instinct for precision machinery. The ancestral bronze compass he carried with him showed a star trajectory that perfectly matched his birth date when he came into contact with the inscription. As the rainy season comes, the water level in the canyon rises sharply, revealing the underwater ruins of Zhenlong Temple in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Mo discovered that his Virgo traits - the paranoia for details and the stubbornness of an Ox - turned out to be the key to cracking the zodiac secret room: he had to use the patience of an ox to calibrate the astrolabe errors, splice the bronze fragments in the absolutely clean environment required by Virgo, and use the brute force of an Ox to resist the hydraulic chains in the mechanism. However, every time a star palace puzzle is solved, the team members will strangely experience changes corresponding to their zodiac signs - the rat totem appears in the pupils of those born in the rat year, and the bones of those born in the tiger year emit the roar of the tiger. When Chen Mo discovered behind the seventh bronze door that his birth date had been engraved as a human sacrifice, he was shocked to realize that this expedition was a trap set up by an astrologer a hundred years ago to balance the energy imbalance between Ox and House. He must complete the absolutely precise operation required by Virgo within 48 hours, while at the same time overcoming the most feared betrayal of Ox people - activating the meteor altar with his own hands that will swallow the blood of his loved ones. In the end, he chose to embed the compass into the core of the altar, and used himself as a living astrolabe to complete the constellation return, restoring peace to the canyon, but he was forever trapped in the starry cage of the time cycle.
