The Immortal Lord Gu Qingci, who once slashed stars with his sword in the nine heavens and subdued all demons with a flick of his finger under the netherworld, lost all his cultivation and fell into the mortal world due to a catastrophe in which Tao eliminated demons and rose. He wiped away the past and opened a study called "Wu Ming" in the world. He just wanted to keep his only concern in this life - his daughter Nian Nian and live in peace.
However, he can forget Jianghu, but Jianghu will not let him go.
The five-year-old daughter Nian Nian is born with aura, and her pure soul is like a beacon in the dark night, attracting countless weird and evil spirits hidden in urban legends. When a strange crayon painting changed color on its own in the middle of the night, and when a cold embroidery needle fell for no reason beside her daughter's bed, Gu Qingci knew that his peaceful life had been shattered.
It was at this time that an ancient picture scroll buried deep in his soul - "The Picture of a Hundred Ghosts at Night" came to life.
It does not provide cultivation or issue tasks. It will only reveal its true name, origin, and weaknesses on the scroll when it senses that an evil spirit is approaching her daughter.
[Hanged Ghost], [Painted Skin], [Embroidered Shadow], [Bone Girl]... Monsters that only existed in ancient rumors began to awaken in the modern city and extended their claws towards the star in his palm.
In order to protect him, this former immortal had to regain his dusty memories and methods. He no longer serves the common people, nor does he seek enlightenment, but only wants his girl to have a good night's sleep and see the sunrise tomorrow.
"I once held the sun and the moon in my hands, but now, I just want to hold your hand."
"Don't be afraid, Nian Nian, dad is here. The monsters and monsters in this world cannot hurt the stars in my palm."
