🌟 Summary (also on AO3):

Meng Yao was just an ordinary 14 year old junior high student in Jin’an district of Qingdao, adopted by his mother’s friend Sisi after his mother’s death. That is, until he accidentally stumbled upon a peculiar book. Tasked by the Guardian Beast Kerberus (Kero) to reseal 19 magical cards called Sakura Cards before disaster befalls the world, Meng Yao must now find a way to successfully reseal the cards’ spirits, aided by friends.

On the surface, this task seems fairly straightforward. But unbeknownst to Meng Yao, there is more to resealing the Sakura Cards than it seems…
