Heavy snow closed the city. In the "Ji Gu Pavilion" deep in Lin'an Ancient Street, Lin Ye, an ordinary book repairman, is secretly the last "book hunter" in the world.
In this world, there are some books written that are not meant for people to read at all. Some words are the scars formed after the rules of heaven and earth have festered - just look at them, and you will be seriously ill; read a sentence, and your soul will be gone. They are "banned books".
A strange and cannibalistic book called "Eating Words" has been revealed. A Hanlin scholar is pregnant with a word demon, and his internal organs are turned into fertilizer on the pages of the book. When Lin Ye was sealing this forbidden book that could eat human skin, he was horrified to discover that on the last page there was a blood-letter written by his father who mysteriously disappeared fifteen years ago!
"Everyone returns to his clan, and his literary spirit is cut off."
In order to solve the mystery of his life experience and find his father's remains, Lin Ye carried a bone knife on his back, used blood as a guide and bones as a restraint, and embarked on a desperate journey to change his destiny and seize taboos. Chinese-style suspense rules and strange stories, a battle of wits at the beginning, and decisive killing.
There is no devil in this world. If more people read it, the words will come alive.
