Hou Ju was an ordinary person from the real world. By accident, he transmigrates to a parallel world with a modern setting overrun by ghosts, possessing the body of an unlucky man who has just died. Here, he struggles to survive with the help of the System. Hou Ju discovers cryptic clues linked to a series of deaths, but the people around him gradually turn against him. Cultists wielding supernatural powers and other transmigrators go to great lengths to stop him from finding clues and uncovering the truth about the world, driven by their pursuit of resources and conflicting ideals. Hou Ju faces a difficult choice: look out for himself and abandon the investigation, or hold to his principles and pursue the truth. And if his identity as a transmigrator is exposed, other factions will hunt him down.
When he first arrives in this otherworld, Hou Ju is weak, and betrayal deals him an emotional blow that clouds his judgment. Caught between opposing factions, he is forced to choose sides and becomes entangled in complicated relationships, with every choice carrying a heavy price. His betrayers mislead him, causing misunderstanding after misunderstanding, and making the path to the truth fraught with difficulty. Meanwhile, the deaths keep piling up. Unless he uncovers the truth soon, the consequences will be disastrous, and time is running out. As the betrayers make their moves, the crisis of trust between Hou Ju and those around him deepens, and their relationships deteriorate. But with the System's help, Hou Ju grows through one crisis after another, moving from fear to adaptation and control. He strives to pierce the fog and carve out a way to survive amid the maelstrom of trust and betrayal, and to uncover the truth about the world.
