The Taoist genius "Yun Jinli" was possessed by the master's secret curse "Seventh Generation Soul Lock", and was forced to bind to the mysterious system and travel through seven strange worlds. His mission is to find the "zombie ember" who has the deepest bond with him in every life - a thousand-year-old living corpse with incomplete memory but always guarding him.
From the "Old Mansion of Ghost Marriage in the Republic of China" to the "Town in the Memory-Eating Demon Fog", from the "Nanyang Gu Boat" to the "Ghost Marriage College", the two struggled to survive among the rules and curses. On the surface, Yun Jinli is calm and restrained, but in his heart, the curse breeds crazy possessiveness; while Xuan Jin appears to be docile and harmless, but when Yun Jinli is in danger, he explodes with ferocity and tears up all threats.
As the memory fragments are pieced together, the truth gradually emerges: Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Master Xuan Jin changed his destiny to save the prince Yun Jinli, but was cursed in return. The so-called "system" turned out to be the remnant soul of Xuan Jin, just to guide Yun Jinli to break through reincarnation.
At the final "Soul Locking Observatory", the two must face the sins of seven generations - Yun Jinli sacrificed his soul, and Xuan Jin used the Corpse Pill to carry the backlash. When all the soul lamps are lit, can they break their fate and meet again in the real world?
"This time, we either live together or die together."
