Twenty-four-year-old illustrator Su Yebai inherited an old bookstore located in a forgotten corner of the city. He thought this was just an inheritance away from the world, but when the clock struck twelve o'clock at midnight, he discovered that he had inherited much more than a house full of books.
[Welcome to become the thirteenth generation store manager of "Wu Mian Bookstore".
[Your responsibility: To contain, comfort, and heal the "abnormal" and "lost people" wandering in the world.
[Your employees: They don't get paid, they don't complain, they just occasionally drop some parts or sing an off-key song at midnight.
From then on, Su Yebai's life was completely overturned.
The little girl in red who loves to cry is his first "daughter" and needs to be coaxed to sleep with storybooks; the actor in green who can't get out of the mirror has become a frequent visitor to the bookstore, just looking for a close friend; the knight with a severed head patrols the bookshelves, stubbornly looking for his lost glory...
This is the boundary between life and death, a shelter for the desperate, and the last refuge for lost souls.
Su Yebai has no golden finger or the power to destroy heaven and earth. His only weapon is his warm heart that is still willing to light a lamp for others in a cold and treacherous world.
He is not a ghost hunter, he is the daddy of ghosts.
"Don't be afraid. If you get scared when it gets dark, just come to my bookstore. It's never closed here."
