This book draws its content from the author's master's thesis, *A Study of the Ciyunlou Collection of Books*, and consists of both fictional and non-fictional parts. The fictional part ("The Bookworm") unfolds from the perspective of a bookworm dwelling within ancient books, using a parallel narrative of ancient and modern times, revolving around the Qing Dynasty library, Ciyunlou, and its *Ciyunlou Collection of Books*. In the ancient section, the bookworms witness the rise and fall of the library, the compilation of the collection's record, and the hidden emotions of various people within Ciyunlou. In the modern section, the bookworms accompany young students to explore the origins of the *Ciyunlou Collection of Books* manuscript and the changing fates of books and people.
