Lin Mo's life was inherently gloomy, riddled with bad luck and often plagued by evil spirits. Once he took on the dirty work of moving a grave to make a living, but accidentally dug up a female corpse wearing a thousand-year-old wedding dress with an uncorrupted appearance. What's even more weird is that the female corpse's wrist is actually tied with the other half that is exactly the same as his ancestral jade pendant – it is the "ghost marriage token" he has worn since he was a baby! That night, the dark wind roared and the coffin opened. His ghost wife Su Qingwan, who had been nominally "sleeping" for thousands of years, opened her cold, deep eyes that contained endless years and resentment.
The ghost wife who pretended to be a corpse did not immediately claim her life, but instead brought about a series of horrifying supernatural events: ghosts crying at night, hundreds of ghosts surrounding the house, Yin soldiers taking advantage of the passage... Lin Mo was involved in a vortex involving thousand years of conspiracy, ancient magic and nether taboos. He must struggle to survive under the evil ghosts seeking his soul, evil ways and Su Qingwan's unpredictable "protection". Relying on his half-skilled Taoist skills, the mysterious power of destiny that bursts out in danger, and the rusty peach wood dagger passed down from his family but which has a miraculous effect on ghosts, Lin Mo embarks on a dangerous road to uncover the mystery of the underworld wife's life experience, fight against the mastermind behind the scenes, and find a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation where humans and ghosts have different paths. Every battle with evil spirits is a collision between talismans and yin energy, a chase between gang steps and ghost shadows, and life and death only happen in a blink of an eye. Is his thousand-year-old ghost wife a life-threatening impermanence, or the key to breaking the situation? When the final conspiracy came to light, Lin Mo discovered that his bond with Su Qingwan was far deeper and more deadly than the dark marriage contract.
