Long Hui grew up in seclusion in the mountains with his grandfather, learning the Long family's generation-old Sanqing Talisman Arts. When he was eighteen, his grandfather died suppressing the Coffin-Bearer Wraith. With his dying breath, he told Long Hui that everything had its own appointed course, and not to go searching for answers deliberately. When the time came, they would find him.
Long Hui hated being bound by fate and tried repeatedly to escape it. But every time he fought back, the unseen “chains” tightened around him. The ghosts and monsters grew ever more rampant, as if a curse were driving him back toward his destiny. During a mission, he met a mysterious man who claimed to know the truth about the Long family and hinted that the Coffin-Bearer Wraith was closely connected to Long Hui's fate.
To break free of his shackles, Long Hui sets out to uncover the truth... As truth and conspiracy intertwine, he must choose: follow his bloodline, or break the chains, even if doing so unleashes an even greater calamity?
