In the Bookkeeping Department where he works, those ancient books, magical artifacts and curses that have been passed down for thousands of years are a set of "ancestral codes" that no one can understand anymore - the logic is obscure and in disrepair. Once collided with modern civilization, fatal "historical problems" will develop. And he is the night watchman who specializes in patching and containing these rampaging "living cultural relics". Others will only be afraid when they see evil spirits. He will only open the register, calmly assess the impact, allocate resources, suppress and file them one by one. Within seven days, an ancient book library that is about to be demolished will be moved. On the eve of the handover, he discovered that a dilapidated county chronicle that was supposed to only record the past actually wrote down a person who would die three days later. And the booklet shows that the man is still alive and well at this moment. A seal that has been tampered with, a series of dead people falling one after another according to secret rules, a group of people who are being quietly erased and forgotten by the entire world. In the end, he is the only one who remembers that they ever existed. Following this line to the deepest point, he will dig out the dusty old accounts of the Department of Records, meet a person who "shouldn't exist", and eventually discover that the ending that must have been written by him was hidden in his own forgotten memory many years ago. It sounds like a strange tale about Chinese customs, but it sounds like a cold and hard reasoning. Some accounts must be settled sooner or later.
