Seventeen-year-old Lin Yan thought that his life was just living in the demolished Lanke Alley, worrying about the next meal and the rent increase notice. Until a red lacquer coffin embedded with mysterious ink jade appeared out of thin air, breaking the calm he managed to maintain - lying in the coffin was not a corpse, but a mysterious young man named Xuan Chen.
Xuan Chen has eyes that can absorb starlight, and he is dressed in ancient clothes that are not stained by dust. When he wakes up, he looks at Lin Yan with a familiarity that spans thousands of years, as if their bond has been written long ago. What is even more bizarre is that as Xuan Chen awakens, Lin Yan is forcibly bound to the "Coffin Keeper System". Not only does he have to deal with the sudden pursuit of "extraterritorial evil spirits", but he also has to teach this "immortal" the rules of survival in modern society - from wearing jeans to scanning QR codes to pay, everything is absurd.
The old locust tree at the end of the alley will lose its leaves early, the "master" of the demolition office died mysteriously and tragically, and the ordinary jade pendant on Lin Yan's chest actually resonated with Xuan Chen's black beads... When more and more strange things happened that violated common sense, Lin Yan discovered that his seemingly ordinary life contained forgotten secrets, and Xuan Chen's awakening was not only the beginning of fate, but also the precursor of a storm that swept through the past and present.
A down-and-out young man who is worried about his livelihood, and a star-eyed immortal who has been sleeping for a thousand years. How will they dismantle the conspiracy behind the system mission in the Lanke Alley that is about to disappear? What kind of promises across time and space are hidden in the broken images that flood into our minds?
——When the coffin keeper meets the awakened person, is it a gift from fate or the beginning of another disaster?
