Shen Du has been a loser for thirty years and only does three things every day - eating, sleeping, and yawning. Everyone was waiting to see his joke. Until the outer eldest brother provoked him, he slapped the opponent casually, and the opponent was embedded in the mountain wall. The ancient demon king wanted to seize his body, so he just went in to take a look and knelt for three days and three nights. He made a straw man out of weeds on the roadside, and the straw man came to life. He called himself the "Grass Sword Immortal" and swept through ten major sects with one sword. The whole world is looking for this mysterious swordsman. And Shen Du yawned and stuffed the straw man back into his sleeve. "Don't make any noise and go to sleep."

In the city-state of "Logos", language is both a chain and a sharp blade. The Court of Words governs all things with precise rules of speech, the Wordsmiths Guild weaves a web of rules, and in the shadow of the Silent Zone, the Word-Eating Beast eats the residue of language. "Speechless", a tinker who has been deprived of his voice, struggles to survive at the bottom. In his mutilated body, sleeping is the "silent perception" that can understand the loopholes in the rules of language. A strange commission to restore lost documents dragged him into the scene of a murder, and he faced the sharpest blade of the Court of Laws - the Whisperer Roland. Roland, the embodiment of order, believes in the absolute justice of words and laws. However, the taboo etched text on the corpse, the covered-up seal of the "Primary Gate", and the horrific experiments hidden by high-level officials shattered the order she believed in. When she discovers that Wu Yan's abnormal ability actually resonates with the seal of the abyss, the two are forced to form a fragile alliance in the desperate situation of pursuit. A silent "key" and a collapsed "gatekeeper". They go deep into the abyss of silence where language fails, and search for the annihilated truth in the ditches and ruins. Ahead is the darkness occupied by the Word-eating Beast, the deadly conspiracy of Cardinal Yan Luting, and the ultimate secret behind the ancient stone door entwined with eternal chains that can subvert the world or bring about annihilation. When language becomes a prison, can silence be the power to break the shackles? On the edge of order and chaos, they will uncover the big lie in the name of words and laws, face the echoes of the abyss, and search for the lost true name and the last dawn under the city bound by words.
