Lu Seal Script: Revelations from Jiujiang’s Abyss of the Heart

The dejected young Lu Qingzhou returns to his hometown of Jiujiang with a broken heart. From the belongings of his grandfather, a restorer who devoted his life to protecting Lushan’s stone carvings, he inherits a strange “heart key” and an unfinished mission. He discovers by chance that his family’s bloodline can sense the historical “echoes of memory” carved into Lushan’s cliffside inscriptions, the patterns of ancient buildings, and even the lake waves and river breeze. To restore Lushan’s “spiritual beauty,” damaged by time and human hands, and stop the mysterious force known as the Ruins from stealing memories and distorting history, he sets out on a journey. From the clashes of ideas at Bailudong Academy, to the secret words carried on the fragrance of medicinal herbs deep in Xinglin, to the modern-era upheavals beneath Xunyang City, he will use his heart as a seal-script brush to continue Lushan’s thousand-year legacy. In this battle to protect the past across time, he will be reborn.
