During the Jiaqing period, a vicious prophecy of "Three generations will die, and the race will be exterminated" pushed the Chen family, which has been poor for generations, into the abyss of despair. In order to survive, the clan members conspired to force the parents of the protagonist Chen Chengye to sacrifice themselves and steal the evil magic of "exchanging loneliness for wealth" from the tomb of the former eunuch Liu Jinliang.
Carrying the blood sacrifice of his parents and the hope of the whole family, Chen Chengye, who changed his surname to "Liu", worked hard in the capital and eventually became a wealthy imperial businessman. However, the wealth that comes from the eunuch's "discontinued destiny" is like a poisonous gift. When he tried to continue his bloodline and shine on his family, the backlash of God's punishment came as expected - the ship sank and the goods were lost, his beloved son died suddenly, and everything began to collapse.
After failing in his bet with the sky and being betrayed by the whole world, Chen Chengye, who completely fell into madness, reached a deal with an even more evil warlock, "Ghost Face Tuo". He used the magic of "seizing luck" as a knife and the flesh and blood of his relatives as sacrifices to launch the bloodiest and most decisive revenge against this unfair fate! He sacrificed his first wife, plundered his adopted son, and raised innocent people as "animals". Step by step, he turned himself into a devil more terrifying than a curse.
However, changing one's life against fate is just a dream. When all the sins are woven into the dragnet called "Fate Mark", the final judgment will eventually come. Is this a huge gamble in which man determines victory over nature, or is it a tragic song of destiny for three generations that has already been destined to end?
