Pseudo-History Exploration Agency

History as you know it is a carefully designed line of defense. Burning books to trap Confucians is not trapping Confucians, but people who know the truth. The flowing wine cup is not a wine cup, but blood. Every stroke of Lanting's preface is a dying man's last words to the world. And his job is to bury these truths again. Chen Mo, the most ordinary prospector of the Pseudo-History Exploration Bureau, has a daily job of entering the "back side" of history - an alien space called "Deep Trace", recovering the "echoes" that seep out of the cracks in history, and then burying the truth to maintain the stability of the "curtain". The curtain is a cosmic law that separates real history from daily human life. It protects the normal lives of billions of people and traps them in carefully woven lies. Until one day, a seemingly ordinary task allowed Chen Mo to uncover the secret behind "Lanting Preface" that had been sealed for thousands of years. From the feast of blood and ink in the ninth year of Yonghe, to the ashes of the Zhuang family's historical case in the early Qing Dynasty; from the "Sage of Calligraphy" who was locked up with his body, to the nameless village of paper figurines. The closer Chen Mo got to the truth, the more he discovered a fact that made him desperate: The Veil may not be there to protect humans, but to keep them captive. And he is just the least important and most critical piece in this thousand-year chess game. "If the truth of history would burn everyone, would you reveal it?" "I'll write it down." This is a story about memory, lies and cost. It is the epic of those who have been erased in the cracks of history. He is a "pseudo-historical explorer" who protects lies and reveals the truth.
