Mo Xiao has transmigrated into a world where the supernatural is returning, and for nineteen years his soul has been bound to the Heaven-Subduing Coffin.
The coffin's rules are simple and brutal: anything that harbors murderous intent or evil thoughts, be it human or supernatural, can be suppressed and devoured, its original power seized.
During a research trip to an ancient village, the team enters a sealed haunted house in the hills behind Qingshi Village. One of his companions turns on him, while the sinister old house tries to devour their souls.
Mo Xiao shows no mercy. The villain withers away on the spot, and the coffin crushes the evil spirit.
This bloody incident draws the attention of Bureau 713, a secret agency that controls supernatural beings.
From then on, the world has a coffin-bearer.
Malevolent spirits in deserted villages, deadly water hauntings at ferry crossings, corpse demons in ancient tombs, urban specters... All manner of monsters emerge one after another. Anyone harboring ill intent and trying to harm others, no matter who they are, will be executed.
Suppress the evil spirit in the old house and gain a protective Yin aura that keeps all demons at bay.
Destroy the deadly water haunting at the ferry crossing and gain the power to control currents and water, allowing him to walk across the waves.
Crush the corpse demon in the ancient tomb and gain tough, bone-like armor that lets his body withstand attacks.
The world trembles at the mention of ghosts, while villains throw their weight around. Only Mo Xiao, carrying the Heaven-Subduing Coffin, cares nothing for good or evil. He sees only friend and foe.
