When the lights of the city drowned out the starlight, a "frustrated shelter" that only lit up neon lights on rainy nights quietly opened its doors. Architect Liu Qiang broke in with a broken guitar and was forced to spend seven days on a poetic mission to re-examine the building he had designed but had never "seen". Subsequently, dancers who lost their stage, entrepreneurs who suffered repeated failures, Internet celebrities trapped in filters, retired engineers who were holding trembling brushes... They arrived one after another, exchanging a frustrated item for the possibility of shining again. However, the shelter itself is also facing the crisis of being acquired by capital. The frustrated must gather and use "Invisible Architecture", "Still Dance", "Failure Museum" and "Starry Sky Observation Network" to prove why poetic, fragile and failed spaces must exist in this world that advocates efficiency and success. This is not only a story of failed shelter, but also a gentle experiment on how to find starlight in the brokenness and connect the shimmering lights into constellations.

In 1619 AD, the Battle of Sarhu was a disastrous defeat, and the most elite Shenji Battalion of the Ming Army was almost destroyed. The stuttering artilleryman Chen Beipo gathered 327 remnant soldiers in the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. Carrying a lost secret book of artillery and a secret letter that could shake up the government, they walked in the opposite direction in the torrent of collapse - instead of escaping south, they headed north instead. From the snowfields of Liaodong to the grasslands of Mongolia, from the banks of the Yalu River to the isolated islands in the Bohai Sea, this "three hundred and twenty-seven" team reconstructed themselves in desperate situations: when they ran out of gunpowder, they used tongue twisters as weapons; when the establishment collapsed, they used local accents as a bond; when their identity was lost, they used "do not betray the Chinese language, do not harm women and children, and do not abandon the wounded" as their law. They have been forgotten by history, but have become the dark river of civilization. When the Golden Cavalry swept through Liaodong, when the imperial bureaucrats were busy with party disputes, this group of little people used the humblest and most tenacious way on the back of history to prove one thing: as long as there is still one voice that can be accurately passed down, civilization has not yet collapsed.

During the Wanli period, scholar Shen Wenzhou went deep into the gardens of Jiangnan to find his missing cousin, and was accidentally involved in the shocking mystery of "the disappearance of a group of beautiful women". From the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou to the Qinhuai River in Jinling, from the pursuit in the rivers and lakes to the undercurrents in the court, he teamed up with the Jin Yiwei to spy on Mei Shisanniang, and gradually uncovered how the powerful network named "Bronze Bird" tamed talented women into conspiracy tools. In this life-and-death pursuit that spans Jiangnan and Beijing, friendship and betrayal are intertwined, and the rhyme of poetry, painting, and music cannot hide the undercurrent of blood. In the end, Shen Wenzhou used his lone courage to shake up the powerful, redeem his soul, and even founded an academy after the storm subsided, allowing countless suffering women to shine again and protect their beauty in the tide of the times.

Taking the "Pond Ghost Story" spanning thirty years as a guide, the dark secret of the evil "Seven Evil Spirits Raising Ghosts" is revealed. On the summer night of 1993, the call of "Come on" lured young Li Tiezhu into the abyss; ten years later, the same method took away Lin Xiao's father. In 2013, when Chen Du, a ferryman of the living dead, was extraditing the souls of the dead, he discovered that he and his sister were the final sacrifices in this huge game of chess. Faced with the cycle of killings every ten years, the lamentations of seven half-souls, and the sacrifices of close relatives, Chen Du must use his body as a boat to ferry out the resentful spirits and cut off the chain of evil that has lasted for thirty years in the final showdown at the old reservoir site.

Lin Fuling, the youngest pharmacist of the Shang Yao Bureau, uses exquisite medical skills to prepare cold medicines and stands cautiously in the cracks of power in the palace; under the moonlight night, she transforms into "Ms. Xue" of Pingkangfang, imparting medical knowledge to women at the bottom, helping them control their own destiny. A shocking incident in the east palace broke the balance, and the highly poisonous "Nan Bo Kill" that the prince was poisoned turned out to be the self-defense formula she improved and taught. In order to prove her innocence and track down the source of the leak, she was forced to wander between the light and dark worlds: on the surface, she assisted the imperial doctor to solve the palace mystery, and faced the pressure of the imperial authority and factional strife; secretly, she tried her best to protect the female mutual aid network built with blood and tears, but suffered repeated disasters. When the conspiracy involves old palace cases and family blood feuds, she is no longer a passive pawn to protect herself. She uses her medical skills as a blade to set up traps to pursue the murderer, and uses her benevolence as a torch to protect her kind. In the end, she broke out of the shackles of the palace, weaved the inheritance of female medicine into the fabric of Chang'an, and let the glimmer of the "shadow doctor" converge into a torch to illuminate the path of survival for countless women. This is an undercurrent battle about knowledge and power, redemption and inheritance. It is also a magnificent epic of women's self-consistency and symbiosis in the cracks of the times.
