Gu Changye was once the last "Zhen Yesi" who walked between the human world and the underworld. He held a volume of "The Record of One Hundred Ghosts" and used his body to suppress the demons and monsters that were ready to move in the world. However, thousands of years of loneliness and killings made him tired. He chose to live in seclusion in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River called "Lin'an" and opened a second-hand bookstore called "Buyu Study". He just wanted to be an ordinary mortal.
He also has a more important identity - the father of a three-year-old girl.
His daughter "Zhiwei" is his only warm light in the long night. He clumsily learned to make milk powder and tell bedtime stories, trying to seal all the past in the dust of the study.
But he forgot that his daughter was born with spiritual eyes that could see the true nature of all things. She was like a piece of Tang Monk meat that exuded endless fragrance, attracting those strange beings lurking in the shadows of the city all the time.
The long-dormant "Hundred Ghosts" contract on his wrist was awakened again by the existence of his daughter, and turned into "commissions" that he could not refuse.
"The aura of 'ghost' has been detected. Location: West City Overpass. Threat level: C. Host, it's time to go to work."
"The presence of 'Painted Skin' has been detected. Location: Lin'an Art Museum. Threat level: Level B. Friendly reminder: Please prepare cinnabar ink."
As a result, the urban legends in Lin'an City began to become weird.
There are always people who see the gentle and handsome bookstore owner late at night, holding a sleeping Milk Baby in one hand and an ancient Tang knife in the other, walking in a forbidden place where no one dares to speak.
