Lin Zhao, a grassroots young man, makes a living by setting up a street stall and selling old trinkets. He is often ridiculed by his neighbors for "selling rags." Once when he was appraising old jade for a customer, he accidentally triggered the broken pages of the ancestral "Suppression of Evil Notes" and awakened his past life memories - it turned out that he was the orphan of the last Secretary of the Suppression of Evil Division, and his memory was sealed when he was betrayed when he was young. From then on, he traveled around the city as a "half-baked treasure appraiser", solving evil spirits' possessions at night markets, suppressing evil spirits in old houses, identifying evil cultivators and seizing treasures at auctions, and gradually uncovering the truth behind the collapse of the Evil Suppression Department. Faced with the manipulation of evil cultivators by hypocritical philanthropists, the betrayal of a black junior brother due to jealousy, and the frame-up by a young lady from an aristocratic family, he relied on his extraordinary eye for detecting evil and the lost magic of suppressing evil in his handbook to grow from a despised small vendor to a "living minister" who makes evil things fearful. At the same time, he joined hands with three beauties with very different personalities to set off a counterattack storm of "mortals suppressing gods" in the modern city.
