Restoring the Wayward Path to Stabilize the World

Beneath the mundane world of mortals lie cracks in the rules invisible to ordinary eyes. Time flows backward, yin and yang are reversed, life and death are swapped, and folk customs defy heaven. When the old heavenly way becomes decayed and shackled, and when chaotic disorder waits to overturn the world, a decade-long cosmic conspiracy quietly sets its pieces among mortals. Zhou Xu, an ordinary watch repairman in an old city clock shop, has zero rationality and no joy or sorrow—he is the calmest order restorer in the world. He uses logic to break through strange situations and rules to patch loopholes, walking in the gap between order and chaos. Strange incidents in the old city, forbidden folk sites, cross-sea burials to heaven, total collapse, extraterrestrial invasions... layers of conspiracies emerge one after another. The Seven Pivots seek to overthrow the old world, Zero wants to unify all things, extraterrestrials plot to plunder this realm, and various great paths vie and fight, but none care for the mortal world. All beings pursue the Way, but he alone guards the world.
