Born in Changchun in the 1980s, Wang Qingyang was frail from childhood, yet bound by an inescapable connection to the northeastern tradition of spirit mediums. His cries on a bitterly cold night drew the attention of a fox spirit, and his sickly body became a vessel for an ancient bond. Over forty years of trials and tribulations, he grows from an ignorant boy into a spirit medium charged with a mission. Together with the spirit clan leader destined to be his partner and his confidante Lin Xue, he travels between neon-lit cities and remote mountain forests, solving one bizarre case after another and pursuing the truth behind a curse that spans past and present lives. As he faces evil spirits, monstrous beings, and the darkness in human hearts, an epic tale of love, friendship, spiritual bonds, and fate slowly unfolds across the black soil of Northeast China.
