He thought he was nothing but a burden, never knowing that his brother had traded a lifetime of infamy for his life.
Xi Luming is a loser with an inferiority complex down to his bones. He failed the college entrance exams, got rejected when he confessed his feelings, and his life was a complete mess. He never imagined that an acceptance letter from the overseas Neps University would drag him into the bizarre world of the "Ghostkin."
The people here wield a supernatural power known as "Sha." Someone tells him that his "missing" parents were heroes of the academy, and that his never-before-seen older brother, Xi Tian'ao, was a legendary figure codenamed "Qilin." He was also the most notorious traitor in the academy's history.
With the only keepsake his brother left behind, Xi Luming is forced to set out on a journey. At his back, a deadly masked organization closes in step by step. Ahead lies the Ghost King, who is about to awaken and destroy the world. The only thing he can do is uncover the truth and tell the world: "My brother was a hero."
