Shi Yan is the last of the Shi clan. His Mustard Seed Hut carried him on his wanderings for nine hundred years, and he saw all the wonders of the universe, but he was dragged into the rainy night of Jiangnan in the 21st century by a cry. Shen Qingyue, the teahouse proprietress, said that it was her grandmother's stove cat, waiting for a bowl of porridge that would never be eaten. Shi Yan's Vientiane Instrument showed that six hundred years of collective wishes were buried underground in Linshan Town. Weeping on the stove at night, locking dragons in ancient wells, immortals in paintings asking for their lives, shadow puppets playing the role of dead souls... The Pure World Society holds high the banner of "eliminating demons and defending the Tao" and wants to burn all inhuman things. Shen Qingyue just brewed a new pot of tea and said softly: "They are not monsters, they are just unfinished stories." Shi Yan put away the Vientiane Instrument and sat down opposite her. From then on, the time traveler became a teahouse waiter and began to learn an ancient craft-- How to give those cries forgotten by time a warm ending.
