When Lin Yang woke up from his nightmare, he found himself in an ancient city shrouded in bloody mist. Next to him, Wang Fan, who fell into this place with him, was muttering to himself to a zodiac jade pendant with a strange luster.
This is the "Place of Despair" - a prison where the legend of the zodiac and the mysteries of the constellations are twisted into purgatory. Whenever the clock strikes midnight, those who belong to the zodiac sign will be dragged into a death trial bound to the characteristics of the constellation: Those born under the sign of Tiger need to fight in the flame maze of Leo, and those born under the sign of Rabbit must break out in the mirageous swamp of Pisces...
Lin Yang's zodiac dragon jade pendant unexpectedly resonated with Wang Fan's zodiac sign Virgo, opening up a life full of thorns. But they soon discovered that every time they used the power of the zodiac and constellations to escape, an innocent person would be dragged into deeper despair.
