At twenty-three, the down-and-out Han Yezhi sighs at the tedium and loneliness of life, and the boredom and frustration of the mundane world. Then, one day after work, a stranger dressed in black suddenly hands him a card. On it is a strange address and an even stranger message: "If you think you should be the protagonist, come to Taoyuan and let yourself bloom."
Within Taoyuan, one must endure thirteen calamities. In this place, thirteen kinds of terrifying natural disasters take turns wreaking havoc. The people of Taoyuan believe that anyone who can survive all thirteen calamities and leave will become the most dazzling person in the world, possessing boundless wealth and power.
Yet so far, no one has ever made it out of Taoyuan alive. Is the place Han Yezhi has come to the path to his transformation, or the end of his life?
People have countless feelings, including friendship and love. But can the human heart withstand natural disasters?
What exactly is Taoyuan? Is it the product of technology, or a manifestation of divine power? Are the thirteen calamities man-made, or are they truly a power wielded by the gods to test humanity?
