In her previous life, Shen Zhiwei was the top exorcist in the world of cultivation. She used her spiritual power to kill all evil spirits, and her fame shocked the three worlds. However, she died unexpectedly. When she opened her eyes again, she became the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites of the Yin Dynasty.
In this life, she lost all her spiritual power and no longer had the ghost-killing edge of the past. Only her yin and yang eyes were still there - she could see the ghosts wandering in the streets, the haunting evil spirits in the officials' mansions, and even the lingering resentment deep in the palace. But what frightened her the most was the powerful young Prime Minister Pei Zhao.
He wears a purple robe and has a gentle appearance. He turns his hands to make clouds and rain in the court, but in private he is not a human being at all. He is the ghost king who occupies the three realms. He walks around the world in a mortal skin, controls the order of yin and yang, and controls thousands of resentful spirits.
Under the moonlight, he stopped her from fleeing and pinched her chin with his knuckled fingers. The biting Yin Qi seeped into her bones, but his smile was as cold as ice: "Miss Shen, you used to be so majestic in killing ghosts with your sword. Why is your ability to exorcise ghosts not working now?"
She hated him for being evil and bewitching the world, and vowed to re-cultivate her spiritual power to get rid of him; but he insisted on cutting off her right path and dragging her into the netherworld. When ghosts came, it was he who stood in front of her to drive away the evil spirits. When she was falsely accused of being a ghost, it was he who used the power of the prime minister to reverse the case for her.
In the mist, love and hate gradually become entangled. She accidentally discovered that in the eyes of this ghost king, there was an old shadow that had not disappeared for three hundred years, and the person in the shadow was exactly the same as herself in the previous life...
