In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, the night banquet in Chang'an had not yet stopped, but the demons and monsters had quietly entered the city. The ghost bride demands her life in red makeup, the painted-skinned demon peels off human faces at night, and the Underworld Inn swallows souls and bones - all the murders are covered with ghosts and gods, forcing the government and the public to be shocked. Pei Xuan, the unscrupulous commander in charge of the investigation of mysterious cases, is the most disbelieving person in the Huanghuang Imperial Capital.
He witnessed the massacre of his family when he was young but was classified as "evil and haunted". As a mortal, he held a torch to face the darkness. The survival wisdom of the three religions, the profiling ability to penetrate people's hearts, and the sharp edge of logic that is almost paranoid are all his weapons to cut through the fog. When he twisted a thread that did not belong to the deceased at the scene of the murder, when he unraveled the dense conspiracy in the prophecy, the mysterious woman Su Yinwan, who had been burning incense and reading papers in the depths of Jingye Pavilion, finally pushed half a volume of forbidden magic fragments in front of him: "Master Pei, do you know that ghosts must also abide by the rules when they kill people?"
In the prosperous times, the huge network of using forbidden magic to tamper with the national destiny is closing. The bad commander, who has no supernatural powers and no power, can only use his mind as a knife to cut through all the "impossible" illusions and carve out a way out for the Tang Dynasty in the chess game between humans and ghosts.
——There are no ghosts here, only human hearts that are more terrifying than ghosts.
